I am not saying I agree with this trend but having been one who has got a number of pdf rules I can sea where they are coming from. Print costs these books are going through the roof, believe me as I work for a small company, Solway Crafts and Miniatures producing rules, sources books and guides for VBCW and you wouldnt believe the cost. Osprey true are a much larger company and are more in turn with modern markets and techniques and I am guessing that you will see more of this in the next few years.PanzerKaputhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068595006963872643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-57816945586267545232012-07-14T18:47:26.027+01:002012-07-14T18:47:26.027+01:00@Jim Gamers do seem to take changes to our hobby p...@Jim Gamers do seem to take changes to our hobby personally. I play a lot of ASL and some of the comments that arise from topics to do with that are breath taking. I am sure the actual fallout will be far less than the threatened, but I still beleive that if either company go ahead exactly as planned it will cause them some damage. <br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-70174186751014810272012-07-14T18:40:34.663+01:002012-07-14T18:40:34.663+01:00I'm just so glad I haven't got the job of ...I'm just so glad I haven't got the job of picking up all the toys that have been thrown out of prams yesterday and today.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-67479057506674779152012-07-14T18:33:47.530+01:002012-07-14T18:33:47.530+01:00@ Angry, yep and corrected, plus changed the follo...@ Angry, yep and corrected, plus changed the follow on text to suit.<br /><br />@Tamsin, you prompted others as well as I have read another blog (also quoting you as the sourse) I do like to play Devils Advocote and in my last job I had to often see both sides of arguments or problems to solve them. Regarding the changes to FoG I would more be interested in buying a new version of the rules if the layout was far superiour to the present edition, though the changes you mention do sound like good moves.<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-65519613569105485602012-07-14T15:33:00.359+01:002012-07-14T15:33:00.359+01:00Yup, Fran, $250k rather then $25k.

Most of what they have changed makes good sense:<br />graded limits on how many BGs a commander can control in a Battle Line;<br />reduced "slipperiness" of skirmishers (especially light horse);<br />reduced move distance if you also turn 90 or 180 degrees;<br />-1 on CT tests for every 25% base loss rather than just the first;<br /><br />I'm another who wouldn't buy V2 if it is digital only. I do have a mini-laptop I could probably use for it (need to check the screen resolution), but I just don't like the idea of taking it with me to the club or to tournaments.TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-24294980680177312642012-07-14T14:33:04.588+01:002012-07-14T14:33:04.588+01:00Glad not to use either set but incredible foot in ...Glad not to use either set but incredible foot in mouth jobs by both companies, I believe it was $250,00 but I could be wrong Ian....The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-56524702850735739822012-07-14T14:12:27.853+01:002012-07-14T14:12:27.853+01:00I do use the FoG one, if I can't get V2 (and I...I do use the FoG one, if I can't get V2 (and I would wait to see what was improved) I will leave it. I won't buy digital as I will not have a machine at the table unless it is running the rules, doing casulties etc. If I went to con's etc. or needed V2 then yes I would be upset. At the moment it's more a case of, silly buggers<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-10010205365250490072012-07-14T14:00:30.558+01:002012-07-14T14:00:30.558+01:00I'm so glad I don't use either set of rule...I'm so glad I don't use either set of rules, because I'd be quite upset if I did.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.com
