The rulebooks for most "Board Games" often list the box contents because most of the box gets used each game.

The rulebooks for most "Miniatures Games", on the other hand, usually have a short list of what a player NEEDS to play, not a list of everything that comes in the starter box. And definitely not two different lists for two different sized starters.

One of the photos of the 4 player Core box shown in update 86 shows the parts list for that box on the outside of the box, the two player box probably has it's own list on box. So I'm not sure both whole lists needed to be duplicated in the rulebook.

It feels like Steve Jackson Games is treating this more like a 1 shot Board Game rather than a Miniatures Game with multiple expansions and options.

If all the rules from all the add-ons get compiled into a single compendium I'm sure that they won't want to list the individual contents of all the different boxes.
