I think there were a few shipping issues, as I was supposed to get mine on the 1st aswell!
Oh well, better late than never!

Well, I did receive a letter from the shop owner, saying that he can no longer guarantee Christmas delivery.....He was getting pretty antsy too, as I think he sold a TON of pre-orders...

BUT then yesterday, got another e-mail and said everything had been sorted out, and will be shipped.....even gave me a tracking number.

Yay!

Of course, I will still have to wait until Christmas to look at the stuff...I told my wife it would be a great Christmas gift, and she is holding me to it!

Excellent!
I'm really bad at waiting for stuff, but the set is really quite good.
I've had another look at the rules and they seem OK. They are sort of a lite version which will be expanded on with future releases. If you take the rule aspect away I think the set is well worth it just for the minis.

Interestingly enough there are already a few people out there doing conversions on the minis. I haven't done it yet but the FireToad ( looks like a dreddnought) and the Wraith Golum ( The Big alien walker thing) can be opened, cutting along the seams where they are glued, to reveal detailed interiors!!!!
Here's an example on a German Forum:

Very impressive!

That is amazing. Who'd have thought they'd put detail inside! Very impressive....

A funny thing on that site, is that although they are speaking German, all the signatures are in English!?! Odd.

Did you notice the link to the Aurora Drop Ship later on that page?

That´s because they´re all unimaginative fanboys, and Duncan Idaho is their king...

For the sake of symmetry, maybe the English speakers could have signatures in German.

Good one! Nice pulp german, too.*

*: Now, if you want correct grammar: "Ich wünschte, ich wäre Deutscher. Ich würde mehr malen. Gott wünscht es." But that´s already 66% of sentences that are correct, so Daumen hoch!

Now, seriously: I have a petty beef with that Duncan Idaho fellow, mainly because he appears to be as anally retentive with the boons of AT-43 (faithfully ignoring the drawbacks) as are most GW fanboys... judging from some 97% of his postings, so I may be wrong.

PeteMurray · « **Reply #23 on:** December 14, 2006, 06:30:13 PM »

My Inner German made me fix the grammar. I'll just have to throw in some random Achtung!s from time to time to restore the pulp balance.

Jawoll, Kamerad!

You can´t go wrong with the occasional "Achtung", or two, or three... but never more than three, then you go Japanese in NO time.

Mein Gott! German is more complex than I suspected...

Well, why do you think we failed in conquering the world twice in the last 100 years?!? We couldn´t tell our subordinates precisely what to do!

So wrong. We could, and did, tell our sunbordinates very VERY precisely what they were to do. Alas (or not), the German language being what it is, by the time these detailed instructions were formulated to German standards, the wars had been over for two weeks... :

Some french players are disappointed as the rules are only a very light version. In 2 hours you can play the 6 scenarios.

But what about the full rulebook, nobody knows!

I've a question about the rules if anyone knows....

It says you can do a combat move, then shoot...or vice versa (shoot then move) but can you do 1/2 your combat move, SHOOT, then use the last half of your move to get back behind cover?

I was playing the 1st scenario with my daughter, and she used this tactic, quite effectively to blow up my Golgoth without fear of retaliation!
