Post by: Schogun on April 12, 2010, 10:52:24 PM: These were available for free a while back. I know Steve added historical fluff, but did the rules change at all?

Sorry but he's probably missed the boat.

Post by: ThorsHammer on April 13, 2010, 02:44:10 AM: Seems a bit expensive for 38 pages.

Post by: rob_the_robgoblin on April 14, 2010, 06:42:04 PM: It looks promising, Steve is an excellent ruleswriter and I will shell out for it. :)

It covers a scale of combat WWWII hasn't been catered for yet.

I'm saying nothing about the miniatures though. :)

Quote
As for the price, I think £7.50 is acceptable, and here is why. WG is a home business, and any extra money goes INTO the business as far as I remember from our discussions. This could lead to the production of more miniatures, money to pay sculptors with, money to pay publishers with and perhaps even money to pay for trade stands.
Steve does this only because he loves Wargaming, not because he has to.

i.e. Pay a little extra, get a little extra.

Steve has also said something to me about being able to return to the show scene soon. He really wants to dedicate more time to Wessex Games. I think it has potential to go further than it has at the moment. But what a lot of people forget is that it is just something he does because he enjoys it, not because he has to do it!

Post by: RAD on April 19, 2010, 09:05:20 PM: Does anyone know if the game will be supported, finally, by the release of Shane Hoyle's wonderfull sculpts made for Geheimkrieg? Piccies of the greens were on the web a few years ago already. Mr Blease, who I'm sure is a nice chap, has always been vague on the subject but he recently mentioned to the Geheimkrieg's Yahoo group an eventual release in 2010 (at last!). I hope he'll do it ::)

Post by: SBMiniaturesGuy on April 19, 2010, 11:50:55 PM: Well, I'm a Weirdness junkie and tend to pack-rat new additions to the genre. I enjoy the creative background as much as the rules themselves, often times.

I sure hope so. Seeing those greens was very instrumental in me getting into this Genre.

So maybe the production is gearing up? Lets hope so...

We'll see.
