Buck, just to give you an idea on shipping costs. If you ordered a copy of one of Chain of Command from our web site, the postage charge is about £8. Actually, the postage charge is £10.50 but I swallow £2.50 as it is just too expensive otherwise. When I post bulk orders to our suppliers in the US, Australia and New Zealand (i.e. long distance) the postage cost comes in at less than £2 per book. The cost per card deck is tiny. It may be that you need to link up with a UK distributor and send them by UPS (who are really exceptionally good) and that will save your stockists lots of money.
I wish you all the best with the rules. I have always admired your approach to game design.
