I ordered just the rulebook on Oct 31st, but to date no shipping notification, no reply to my inquiry ticket about what is wrong, and getting newsletters telling me there is a lot of stuff sold out already plus a discount for people who want to buy now......yeah. Let's just say any interest I had in wanting to play this game is pretty dead now.

I had a shipment notification just 4 days ago. Should be another week before it gets to Oz.
Cheers,

I received a Shipped notification on Dec 1. No sign yet to the US. I usually get packages from the UK within 10 days. Maybe today...

I pre-ordered -- and paid full price -- thinking (hoping) I'd get the box before the Dec 8 release date. Turns out my local store had everything on the 8th AND at a 20% discount. So every day the box doesn't arrive pains me a little more.

Received it yesterday in Malta.
Looks good...and simple if effective.

Finally received my Starter Box yesterday in the US so 13 working days. Box is complete so that's good!

Shipping notice on the 1st, no package, no response to my inquiry email.

Warlod used to, in my mind at least, equate to quality - quality rules, quality figures, quality service. Two out of three of those have taken a big hit this year. The Strontium Dog rules are great,  but suffer from many typos. Similarly Black Powder 2 had far too many errors for a professional release. And a 10 page errata for Crules Seas already? Plus the utter fubar of its release.

They are clearly working far beyond their capabilties. Warlord, if you are reading this, slow down and get it right first time!
