“I do not know what components 10th Edition will be played with, but 11th Edition will be played with Sticks and Stones.”

Albert Einstein.

Or something like that

(A guy on the internet told me).

Looking at a few FB groups for various games, the edition wars are already here! 😀

I know one group that still plays 2nd edition and another that swears by 5th edition.

That’s what is nice about rules, once they are out there no one can take them away from you. You can keep playing the ones you like as long as you like. (unless the rules only exist in an app and are not downloadable, in which case your pretty much done in if they force an update) {Have I ever told you all that I really despise app based rules that only live on electronic devices?}

Only if you want to play in an official tournament do you have to use a certain set of rules.

Of course you’re always free to organize your own tournament and dictate what rules are to be used.

Oh yeah, everyone has their favourite rulesets, but certainly with regards to 40k and FoW, the latest editions certainly seem to have had a marmite effect on their communities. Some of the FB groups can get quite heated between either side.
