Some people don't work that way Matt :-) That is why most companies train their booth staff to engage people when they see them in the booth or looking at product. The last time I was at GenCon I stood and listened to booth staff talk to each other about a football game (I think it was West...

Which is why anyone is even given this product any sort of attention at all. You've not really got a great track record when it comes to miniature games and this entire project would be dead at inception if there was a price tag attached to it

I am guessing that not a lot of people will know the Arabic origin of the term. In fact popular opinion conflates the German and Afrikaans terms and has people thinking that it means cockroach. Either way, they are pronounced almost exactly the same and the last time I discussed it with my...

How about a name that wasn't/isn't an Afrikaans slang terms for blacks? Even back in the 2300 days I wondered why they picked the name

Was looking in the WaW rules about this but what happens when you have weapons that create different sized FZs? A German squad with Kars and an MG42 create a 3" and a 6" FZ. In SST you would resolve fire separately. I can't see a reference to what you do in WaW.

Thanks for the comments guys This is rather funny because I am getting a bit of grief on the Dakka Dakka forum for being too hard on GW :-) I'd be happy with well designed black and white if that was an option. The current layout style also appears to waste a lot of space that could be used...

I have plans that involve the inclusions of Frightening and Terrifying units and troops :-)

So any chance we can get Matt to errata them? I find it odd that they'd abandon a seemingly better cover system from one of their own games. Does the logo license prohibit doing things like adding a morale system to the game?

If anyone is interested I can code up some php pages to run simulations of various options. I did that already to give me stats for the effects of the current cover rules. One thing I was thinking about was perhaps having cover modify the target number. Makes it more difficult to hit a target...

Any reason why you can't do 1 and 2? Or more specifically, how about creating and selling a paperback and PDF version of a generic rule system based on B:Evo and then allow people to create new stats for it? That way you could get people creating stat sets for things like the Pig Iron...

Which specifically mentions banks (emphasis mine) so I'm unsure of your complaint.

Check with your bank. Mine not only has a horrible exchange rate but some cards charge a surcharge for transactions that are not in the same currency as your bank account.

Alex kindly dropped me a line and we are deciding which one of us will be doing the review. So one will be on its way. I won't be doing the review myself since a) I have purchased a copy of the game and the site has a standing policy against reviewing products you purchase (you obviously...

The wind direction also plays an important part in how effective the smoke is or how long it lasts.

Thanks. I'm hoping to tighten up the layout a bit for the US cards. Gonna be a bit before they are all finished though
