I had someone, not that long ago, drag LoS back into 4th ed. during a tourney. '1 guy from my unit can see you, so that means the heavy bolter that is behind this mass of trees can also shoot even if he can't see because he is in the same unit'... No TLoS at all, very obviously and admitted by the player, but he insists.
I called over the GW tourney Judge.
GW Judge: 'Yes, he is right, he can shoot you with the heavy bolter because at least one of the models in his unit can see you...'
Me: 'But this is 5th ed., and we use TLoS now...'
GW Judge: 'No, I just told you how it works. Get playing or else...'
This guy is a store manager by the way.
Anyway, I spent the rest of the game mercilessly exploiting his version of the rules: holding whole units behind walls with only a single model looking out. I kicked his little arse so hard. He was far too young for the tourney and GW were taking a real liberty in letting him enter (they even lent him most of the models for his army).
GW are shit at running events, I have yet to see a good one, but that is a rant for another day...
