Of course by your argument, you cannot compare HoE until Wasted West comes
out. HoE looks gappy about as much as Deadlands did when it first came out.
The only advantage Deadlands has is that we have a lot of source material
in our knowledge about the Wild West. This is a big advantage but if you
compare the main books only, they both have about the same material.

Ok the junkers are not fully detailed but then again the Mad Scientist were
the least detailed in Deadlands. I think a good comparison should wait
until Waisted West since that will give a lot of background and make the
comparison fair.
