Not sure how much I trust Amazon for that sort of thing, but annoying if accurate.  Been looking forward to that one.

Same. Osprey's rule sets have really expanded my gaming horizons beyond GW. I'm planning on running Inquisitor (in 28mm) type warbands.

Okay, thanks for the update - This gives me a bit of time to salt away a few dollars to cover this 'must have.'

True, I'm afraid. But, on the bright side, it gives us more time to fit everything into it!

I hoped, that Osprey for this released an other book earlier. As a sign of continuity in the wargames row. Bad luck for the fans like me.

With games, be they computer or tabletop, I never complain about delays. It means somebody is doing his job properly rather than rushing it which I can only applaud. Games are by definition luxury articles, none of us actually "need" them. By that reasoning, I'd rather have a product crafted to the point the makers are happy with it rather than rushed out to make money.

I agree.  I don't mind reasonable delays. Now, Kickstarters which are 2+ years past due?  That's another story.  But a month or even six months delay?  I'm fine if it means the product is more complete/finished/cleaned up.

I'm happy to wait. I love the Osprey rules and I'm hoping this will finally give me the rogue trader style game I've been waiting to use all my minus for!

Sure. I'm very interested in the rules. Thank you for the offer. (so long as sharing it doesn't step on anyone's toes)
