Battle Box Rulebook pdf from Ogre Miniatures set 2 kickstarter
As an overseas customer, the only way I couldn't back the second minis Kickstarter, so I preordered it on Warehouse23.
The Feb 3 update mentions the Battle Box Rulebook pdf. but is only accessible to backers. As I preordered, can I (and any other overseas backers) get this pdf please?

Re: Battle Box Rulebook pdf from Ogre Miniatures set 2 kickstarter
Thankfully it's a link instead of a download, but I don't know if sharing that link would go against the forum's copyright rules. If someone official says it's ok, I'd be happy to post it. I figure they made it backers-only just so that any issues found before print aren't left to linger in somebody's collection, causing misunderstandings when people assume the draft PDF and printed book are identical.
In quick summary: It's the ODE rulebook, revised for any errata. What has me excited is that it includes (in some cases revised) rules for the other types of Specialist Infantry [Heavy Weapon Teams, Heavy Weapon Marines, Combat Engineers, etc], Vulcans, Ninjas, LADs, Mine detectors, and Engineering Tasks (revetments, etc), the stuff that was released as rules supplements to ODE. I was sad to see they pulled some of the basic scenarios out [2 Mk.IIIs attacking, and the 'Ogre Defending' scenario] when comparing to the 6E book, but I figure they're getting moved to the quick-reference scenario sheet instead, since they were minor variations on the other two.

I have no objection to making this available early, but please let's wait until the corrected version can be posted. Drew, does that work for you?

Either way, it looks nice...I'm excited to have a rulebook [a real, physical rulebook] that combines the full ODE ruleset, any errata folded in while making 6E, any errata to 6E, and the supplementary / post-ODE special unit rules all in one place.

Re: Battle Box Rulebook pdf from Ogre Miniatures set 2 kickstarter
I did not back the mini set 2 (shame on me) because as I wanted to test the look and feel of the minies on the board first, and as of today, mini set 1 which I backed has not arrived at my factory state....ehm house. I will buy at regular warehouse’s site later if available.
My question is this: will I ever be able to get the revised rule book as a non backer? Many thanks |

Re: Battle Box Rulebook pdf from Ogre Miniatures set 2 kickstarter
Absolutely.
As mentioned, we will be putting up a pdf of it at some point in the near future. Plus we will be releasing the Battle Box set with Ogre Miniatures Set 2 that includes the book. Finally, it will be in the Battlefields release, with a Kickstarter coming later this year. So, no worries! You will have multiple ways of getting it! D.
