I thought it was standard for board game manufacturers to have their manuals online? Is that not the norm? I'd love a downloadable manual to be able to search more - the index in the game isn't great.

Excellent - thank you. For some reason I thought BGG would be where they were...I didn't even consider the publisher's website.

Most publishers have the links on their websites. I look there first because they tend to be the most current versions.

I've played the first Intro scenario a couple of times now and feel I've got the rules so I'll be doing some impressions over the next week and I'll pass it to Brant.

It's a cracking game  :applause:

Thanks Barth. Brant has given me some pointers to write a review at some point - it won't be until after New Year probably - because this kind of turned into an unboxing/AAR/impressions kind of document and admittedly probably isn't particularly structured very well.

I don't seem to put into the article just quite how engaging the system is...which I hope to do in a proper review because for me this was very, very much worth the cost of admission.

I've fired through the second intro scenario. I'm still referencing the manual and player aid cards but I think that's always a safe thing to do.
