Sooooo tempting, but I shall resist the urge and wait until Salute. :D

I am keen to see the miniatures as well.

Just caught up with reading all of the Chronicles and I must say I am really looking forward to this game. The rules sound simple but fun. The figure sets are also looking really good, can't wait to see the other two sets. I'll definitely be pre-ordering these rules and a gang to use (I already have tons of cowboys, lawmen, bandits and the like but heck, I could always do with more right?) Which set I order first I don't know, I may wait till the other 2 preview or, more than likely, get an itchy clicking finger and preorder what is available now. Best of luck with this, I'm sure it'll do well.

I like the concept of the rules and the cards, the minis look nice  but I already have a nice pile of metal including some unfinished ones. I would rather spend the cash on buildings and such next along with the rules.

Going to have to pace myself and order when I can...GEG already has me for the book and at least a blister or two of the Natzi Youth since they are the only ones to make the figures! I also have a large order with Warlord on the books, a possible trial of the 35mm Batman game and a trip in about two months that I have to save for! Gah!

Tried the rules at the weekend.
Smooth and simple, work nicely.

I've had a look and I really like the artwork and the minis you've put out pics of. Not so sure that I "need" another ruleset but I am quite tempted to get the minis at least. Best of luck with the game!
