Won't ship for a few days, it says.  I could get it it from WMMS, but more than a third off is too tempting.

Is this another big battles thing, like Black Powder and Hail Caesar?

Yes, but I don't think that there is need to do big battles, just because the games suggest that............

Actually that's not the real cover and Warlord did not list it.  Amazon just auto list everything that has an ISN number created.

Warlord say it MAY be out at Salute.

Well, Amazon cancelled my order as they aren't selling it anymore, did Warlord pull it as they were being undercut by more than a third?  :'(

Not quite.
Amazon tend to slap books up (using the ISBN number) before actually getting publisher deals in place. It happens a lot with 'niche' military history. I know a couple of publishers who have found their books on there without any contact with Amazon at all.

Apparently not.   :o

Or they figure the smaller sellers will "deal" or "lose sales" kind of logic.

Seems unethical certainly. 

Possibly immoral.

Three different things in this world.
