Good, I can swing those numbers on the tabletop. I just hope this doesn't get held up too long.  :D

Any sense of the revised release date? I completely understand if there isn't.

@Legiocustodes-

Can you share who you managed to source the photos for the book from?  Did you do them yourself, or find a 3rd party provider to get the photos.

Coming across some (very nice) cover art reminded me of this game - is there any update on when it might be released? It seems completely absent from the Osprey site but shows up in a number shops.

Might have to take a look at that, if only because the cover art deals with a current project.

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo

Amazon have it marked as "This title will be released on August 18, 2022."

I'm sure that will be updated (again)...  ;)

Yep, I’ve actually had it on pre-order there since last year - let’s just say I’m skeptical if with a month to go it’s not on the Osprey site!

I feel for the bloke with the SMG and his oppo. He doesn't realise it yet but he is definitely in the BBDA of the bloke firing the rocket.  :o

Hopefully, that chap firing it will check his BBA first... ;)

But I'm waiting for these rules, too.  I had a chance to playtest them, and they are interesting...

I'm down for a copy, but Amazon tells me it won't be available until 2027. That should give us plenty of time to get our terrain and figures ready.
