[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 240503, member: 4545"] I agree on almost all of this. What WotC should have done is what Chris Pramas said they initended to do. After a few months scale up to a full Grand Battle System and it should have been d20 compatible. Skirmish was a poor choice. I also think the minis should have been less focused. By that I mean not so much of one thing. This would have attracted a broader market, not just the mini-gamer or Chainmail market. For instance, I don't use a lot of gnolls in my campaign so why buy a big box o' gnolls? More "character" type minis and monsters with a bigger fanbase would have been a better choice. Can't go wrong with Orcs and Goblins, and yes, I relaize that GW already makes these, but many folks would have gone for a less cartoon-ish more D&D type gobbo. As far as making the game 15mm.. what? Have you ever tried to paint one of those? Anyway, the D&D system was already set up for 25-28mm minis. Of course if WotC didn't do any of that other stuff, why not? Anyway, if they had used a ruleset more compatible with d20 I think it might have done better. [/QUOTE]
