I got my UV PDF printed from kinkos

I was very impressed

High quality paper....a crush resistent spiral binding so it can lay flat (you have no idea how usefull that is until you are reading it on your desk) and a thick plastic dust jacket (which also guards against my numerous coffee and tea accidents)

I printed the PDF. If you start at page 5- Contents and finish on page 48- last of Battle History. 44 pages, not too bad. Player guide comes with the game and basically covers the tutorials.

Well, not to bad until you print a couple of these, and then have to go buy a new cartridge for $30

Seriously though, thanks for the info.

Something I have to remind people very often about. "Buy refill kits!" not new cartridges

. A refill kit can be obtained for less then 12$ and lets you refill the cartridge 3-4 times

And if you don't like messing with the ink, which personally don't, there is a web outfit.

Fry's had this on stock this morning, so I've spent the day basically working through the provided Player's Guide. So far, this definitely feels like another really fun game...a keeper.

BTW, what's better, buying it from a retail outlet or directly? Strictly from a selfish point of view, it's great I was able to get it today since I could spend Sunday playing it, instead of having to wait till next weekend. But, is it better, from a "supporting Matrix" point of view, to buy it directly from Matrix (as someone suggested in a Usenet newsgroup), or show support for such games through the retail level?

Yes buying directly from Matrix means more money for them BUT getting these games to retail stores can only help wargaming grow. So I don't think you made such a bad choice after all. I am convinced these type of games MUST be in stores to insure old as well as newcomers to join us. We have to give Matrix some well earned credit for getting these type of games out there again

ITs *MUCH* better for us if you order from us. Our presence at retail is in hopes of getting sales to those who don't frequent the internet (or are overseas where shipping can be prohibitive).

If you frequent these boards, live in the US (or have a cheap shipping alternative available) and are comfortable buying over the internet - please use our store. One internet sale = several retail sales at the bottom line!

Those that are not, well we would much rather have you buy the game any way you can, than not buy at all!

Hey Mr U2 I will be getting my version about the same time too - I am also in Stockholm... Thought about persuading Tradition to stock it. Worth a try?

Also thinking about trying out to make Hube's Pocket (old The Gamers board wargame) as a custom scenario - since it happens just after Khorsun, so the mechanics should not be too far out ...

What do you think guys?

See you soon

Paul;-"If you frequent these boards, live in the US (or have a cheap shipping alternative available) and are comfortable buying over the internet - please use our store. One internet sale = several retail sales at the bottom line!"

I will LOVE to buy it from you Paul but your shipping alternative cost almost 2X the price. UPS cost a fortune for custom free, etc.
I hope on day you could use regular or fast US mail for Canada.
I really don't know why you don't use that.

I hope I will have this game soon.

Maybe. :p If there is a retailer willing to stock it, it's probably Tradition even if they too are becoming too much mainstream for comfort. If they do, I hope they shelf it in Gothenburg too.

We are working on it as David posted above.

As David also said, shipping is the bane of our exisance. It seems simple, but let me tell you it is not...

Hey, you and Mario are not that far apart - you could agree to meet somewhere in upstate NY and sell him the game in person.

I know of two stores that will stock it...do you want their websites where you can find their addresses?

I didn't realize this. While its not practical anymore(hits EB near me tomorrow) for me to buy KP from the Matrix store, I will do so in the future. Keep pumping out those great games guys and I'll keep forking over the cash!

Me too. Wish I would have thought of it last week. But then again EB said it would be in last week. Oh well, WitP will be an online purchase.

Argh, well... I have it but it's currently vying for time against Titans of Steel AND Armored Task Force. I'm like a little kid who's had a bit too much sugar lately.

I have the rest of the week off work, so I'm planning on playing the crap out of it tonight (and knowing me like I do, that probably means I'll be playing it well into tomorrow morning too).

Whoopee!

So, does anybody have it yet?

Fry's again

It has arrived.
