Rules are now available.



Looks like Wayland Games have got their copies in.

I'm still waiting for mine.

Wayland Games? 

[Corporal Hicks]

I know, right? 

Unfortunately, from what I understand, they're a shit company. That said, here's an unboxing article they've done: http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/blog/68-avp-the-hunt-begins-sneak-peek

Perhaps a merger with Yutani should help them become less shit. 

Are these out now? I remember hearing they come out on the 30th of June. So at least pretty soon if not today. I'm so excited to see more of these.

[Corporal Hicks]

Yep - should be out. I'm still waiting for my KS copy.

I really love the sound of this... but I have enough AVP stuff I'm buying my way through without compounding my broke ass with a board game!

[Corporal Hicks]

You think it's just a board game?  It's going to be a full-on wargame and that's a whole other addiction!

Exactly!

Assuming it's good (still not got my flaming copy yet) then it'll be worth it though.

Have no hope of getting mine any time soon. It seems like they're leaving all of the orders with multiple boxes right til the end, and then it has to make it all the way from Poland to NZ.

When they started shipping late June I had hopes mine would arrive for my birthday in late July, but now I'll honestly be surprised if I get it during August at all. I've been one of the more positive/relaxed voices on FB about the whole thing during the wait, but I admit I'm really feeling the burn-out now.

I'm a disappointed myself too - I'm supposed to be doing demos in my local area but I've got no kit. However, I know there's been a whole load of trouble with the Callis strikes. That said, I haven't got my delivery notification so I can't even assume that the strikes are causing my trouble.



Wooo! Just got my shipping notice.

Couple of reviews have popped up. Not had a chance to read them -

Wooo! Just got my shipping notice.

I'm dying of jealousy. Looks like UK/EU backers are all getting their stuff first for the most part. Seems to me that it would have made more sense to send out the packages that have to travel further first, but...

My copy arrived last night. Lots of heavy card, good stock decks, gorgeous models. I haven't put any together yet as I need some extra materials (resin glue, one of those swanky magnifying things to help with small models) but I'm really excited to get to it!

Looks good Hicks. Please post pictures of your models once you get around to putting them together/painting them!
