These were available for free a while back. I know Steve added historical fluff, but did the rules change at all?

Seems a bit expensive for 38 pages.

WOW, this .pdf is much more expensive by the page than the printed Warhammer Fantasy rulebook :D

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.  :)

@ richarDMB

If you go to the Wargames Vault page, you can read about the content of 38 pages
 ;)

I'll say here what I said on the yahoo group for Wessex Horror.

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!

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 ::)

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.

When I spoke to him at Salute, he seemed more interested in Computer based wargaming for space warfare...

We'll see.
