I'm eager to get my hands on the new rulebook as well. but delays happen,
and it wil show up soon enough, as they started shipping them
as far as rules go, i always playtest the rules as they are in the book,
if we don't like the rules as they are, we try to bent or make up a rule
to replace it as we see fit. we certainly not whine about it on the internet.
if a rule doesn't work for you, replace it with a rule of your own creation or
bent the rule so you are happy with it.
some people seem to think that companies like mantic and GW are there to
make "costum rules" for them. you can't make everyone happy if you make
rules for thousands of people, simple as that.
Alex holker is the one person i immediately ignored when i saw he was on
the mantic forum, and thats all the time i spend on him.
Cheers
