And if it could, would you support it?
By Sigmarised, what I mean is reducing the core rules down to a basic 4-6 page source, with the rules of individual units being covered in a warscroll like source. I've been playing AoS lately and...I really like it. It's easy, fast, simple, tactical and above else, fun! It's got an easy entry level for new players, unlike 40k. And you can take what you want, not what you have to.
Two obstacles I can see are; points, and wounding. I know that a points system for AoS is on the way so we can wait to see how that looks and imagine the same for this, but the second? In AoS, every weapon has fixed to hit and to wound stats. And for a fantasy setting that's ok.
But in the sci if setting of 40k, that seems wrong. The whole point of an APC, never mind an MBT, is that it's supposed to be impervious to small arms fire. I have a solution (use a strength + d6 versus defense system like we currently have for vehicles for all models) but it probably isn't the ideal solution.
Could GW do it? Should GW do it?
