BFE (SST) Questions

[Vegabond]

Hi all, it's been a while since I've posted here, but I've been lurking for months waiting for the SST rules to be overhauled. And I'm tired of waiting, so I have a few questions.

1. Is BFE: WaW in stores yet? The 3 stores I went to yesterday didn't have a copy, but I suspect that is because BFE was a stinker here.

2. Besides WaW being designed for WWII and BFE for Modern, what are the fundamental differences between them? Do the rules in WaW replace BFE in any way?

3. I found BFE in the bargin bin for $10 and picked it up. I have downloaded ver 1.4 of the SST stuff. Can I play SST using those two items? If not what am I missing?

1. Probably a slow start due to BF:EVo and SST issues.
2. Not much. All 3 games will use the same core rules and vary primarily in army lists and some advanced rules that aren't relevant to the other game (i.e. SST Tunnelling)
3. You can more than get by. The core rules aren't massively different. Throw out suppress and and they are very similar with the exceptions of Cover and fighting in Structures.

Thanks Paladin, time to do some reading.
