They have now stated that there will be no rulebook available during the campaign... and yet the "1000s" (read: 10s) of backers demanding a rulebook or they'd bail has not happened... in fact number continue to climb slowly....  :Loser:

Well I almost held out for two whole days before backing.  ::)  Sigh.

At the risk of sounding obtuse, how could it *not* include a rule/instruction book?  Aren't those kinda necessary to know how to play pretty much any board-game?  (I presume I'm missing something here.) 


As for some of the other comments...oy.  I don't think I'll ever understand some people.

There will be a rule book with the game. They are just not, so far, releasing any copy of it during the campaign for people to read and bitch about.

It would be one thing if it was a first release from a company nobody had ever heard of. But it's not like academy games doesn't have a track record of delivering really good games and generally on schedule.

Yeah, but it is still odd to not have a draft rulebook for a game that you have been working on for 3 years. I have no doubt about Academy being able to pull this off but it is still odd...

I don't know about on schedule either.  I seem to recall CoH: Guadalcanal being delayed nearly a year.

27 hours left. There are $2.4M+ in pledges so far.  :bigthumb:

I dropped my pledge because I didn't think it would get the table time for the cost... but am still waffling...  :idiot2:

Now they have a super All-In pledge level at $300 USD that includes a 46"x33" game map and more minis. Shipping would be about $50 USD to the GWN. And now I'm leaning towards that.  :Loser:

Help me!  :doh:

I, of course, totally upgraded to the all-in-one edition.  The OCD completionist in me demanded it.  ::)  Sigh.
