A rumour from a reliable guy or a reliable rumour from a guy?  I have not
heard anything about this and I believe that if KJC had bought such a
licence (which would be quite expensive, AND certainly the workshop would
insist on having a finger in the development), I would have heard about
it.  However, maybe you're right.

Mindscape has come with promises that their computer version will be
awesome, I have not quite got a hold on their sollution with WFB and
W40k, one guy even said that the W40k would be action, and I look with
dread upon the prospects of wasting the concept with 40k as a
Doom-clone.

It is possible that Mindscape has included net support and e-mail options
in their warhammer games though.  If their upcoming games are half as fun
as playing with the pieces, then I'm buying.

It is not always a good thing to take one concept and change it to
another type of game, and so I ask, would W40k be the same as a PBM?
Just how do you visualize it?  Am I not just a little bit right when I
say that W40k as a PBM would be a completely different game, with only
the environment and raw system intact?  It is often a giant leap from a
game with the typical player-by-player turnaround.  That's just not
working with PBM, things must happen simultanously or the turn sequenze
must not be overly important.  There should be more than two players in
an entire game, and every turn should be interesting, and not with too
much micro management.  On a squad basis, I think it could be done though.
