I'm eagerly awaiting Call to Arms arrival in Boston game stores. I was curious if there is any plan to have a campaign system for BL, and/or would it be part of Heroes of BattleLore? If you can't answer this question just yet, I understand... Chris This post was fantastic, and I applaud you guys for being upfront

Call to Arms arrival in Boston game stores. I was curious if there
is any plan to have a campaign system for BL, and/or would it
be part of Heroes of BattleLore? If you can’t answer this question

No, not astonished: delighted. Sincerely, it's a pleasure seeing how DoW and Eric are receptive about customers, to the point of opening the black box of editorial decsion-making. Battlelore, I think, aims at a broader customer base than today Warhammer: where the latter targets essentialy "young blood", mindset reflected by the constantly inflated "What's New What's New?? - Hype" (not criticism, a matter-of-facts), DoW choose a open "Nostalgic-yet-new" approach to things: this means also, as I've seen here and before, a more adultlike dialogue with customers. I prefer so; how couldn't I admire such noble effort? ^_^... eagerly, but patiently waiting for more. Astonished… No, not astonished: delighted.

Nice to see something a little more imaginative coming out. I'll be following the progression of the game with great interest. If the rest of the BL products are of the same production and gaming quality as the core box, (the figures are without a doubt the best I've seen on that scale.) you'll have yourselves a devoted customer.

However you cannot expect us to answer all questions before an expansion even ships! (or we will have to reconsider our policy of releasing online rules ahead of time ;-)).

If not, will someone from the DOW staff please respond to that thread soon so I can play with the correct rules when I get the expansion? I'm really looking forward to the new terrain in call to Arms, and the figures in the upcoming expansions. :) Thank you, Jude I’m pre-ordering it, but am a bit worried since no one paid any attention to the rules questions I posted in the Battlelore forum Call to Arms rules download thread:

There is so much information that I'll have to look at it a few more times. For now, it looks like there will be lots of great BL possibilities coming in the future.
