Terrain I find less interesting myself as there’s plenty of 15mm scale stuff out in the market already and by the time they release it I will have hopefully finished my North African table anyway. But I’ll reserve judgement until I see the terrain I guess!

As you say I think a lot of people will still go out and buy the rules but its great to be able to get a free upgrade. Very sporting.

I’ve always liked the idea of a “battlefield in a box” but I think the big problem they will face with it is cost. Its one thing to shell out $300 for an army in a box but it seems more extravagant to do the same with terrain.

I’m especially releived to see that all the current army books will be compiled into a single Mid-war book. Its one of the major critiques of the game and it really does get to be a bit of a PITA at tournaments when you don’t have access to all the rules for an opposing army.

As well the idea of terrain boxes is of interest to me since I can never get enough terrain.

Thanks for the comments about the site. Traffic has been growing through the roof lately and I’ll be moving to a dedicated server and perhaps adding some contributing editors to the site as well.

Interested in writing some news adn reviews? ;-)

I’m pleased by their approach to the 2nd Ed rules, although I can’t see how it can hurt them. If the content in the hardback rulebook is suitably compelling most die-hard FOW players will end up purchasing a copy anyway. I do admire them though because it’s just such an emminently sensible approach that respects you as a player and thus Battlefront actually seem like a company that cares about customer goodwill.

I like your blog…it’s very handy for the news with a clean ‘just the facts m’am’ approach and you cover a wide range of games and products I’ve never heard of/played. Whereas I tend to waffle on about a very small subset of games that I play regularly…
