Thanks for the positive comments chaps, I am really glad you're enjoying the rules.
You might be interested to know about a few updates I've put on Lard Island News. We had a great formal unveiling of the rules at Crisis in Antwerp where the rules picked up their first award for the best participation game. Thanks to everyone who attended, we were packed out all day and had a fantastic time.
We have had a lot of interest from people asking how the new command and control rules work in the rules. They really are at the very heart of the game and the way that it plays, so we've written a guide for newcomers to the rules to explain exactly how they operate. You can read all about that here:
