Okay, thanks for the update - This gives me a bit of time to salt away a few dollars to cover this 'must have.'

Post by: NurgleHH on 16 August 2016, 11:05:14 AM: I hoped, that Osprey for this released an other book earlier. As a sign of continuity in the wargames row. Bad luck for the fans like me.

Post by: YPU on 16 August 2016, 03:03:16 PM: With games, be they computer or tabletop, I never complain about delays. It means somebody is doing his job properly rather than rushing it which I can only applaud. Games are by definition luxury articles, none of us actually "need" them. By that reasoning, I'd rather have a product crafted to the point the makers are happy with it rather than rushed out to make money.

Post by: Elbows on 16 August 2016, 04:18:01 PM: I agree. I don't mind reasonable delays. Now, Kickstarters which are 2+ years past due? That's another story. But a month or even six months delay? I'm fine if it means the product is more complete/finished/cleaned up.

Post by: Sbloom141 on 25 August 2016, 12:29:05 AM: I'm happy to wait. I love the Osprey rules and I'm hoping this will finally give me the rogue trader style game I've been waiting to use all my minus for!

Sure. I'm very interested in the rules. Thank you for the offer. (so long as sharing it doesn't step on anyone's toes)
