Been starting reading the rulebook, and so far it looks quite interesting to me. Feels like a game that will be fun to play.

It does indeed.

There's also a few unit profiles hidden in there that weren't in the KS

There's also this

Glad to see this now, it helps shake the idea that MMF is only for stuff at the end of its life.

It is an interesing development for sure, and having he rulebook for free will make it more widely available on release of the plastics.

I'd love to see what are they going to lead with, given I will have all the stls from the original campaign. Ideally some more poses for the plastic models to give it more variety, for starters.

That removes my second biggest gripe about Mantic. The changing of materials with each new release.

That starter set looks good and will help the reach of the game.

One of the complaints I have read about the rulebook is the lack of unit photos or even art next to each entry, which makes identification difficult especially for newcomers . Apparently the 'full' rulebook will include this, although you would like to think they will update the downloadable free one eventually.

The army list section is a bit dry.

I noticed that, and yes, they need to put unit pics in there.

And yeah, a bit of fluff would be nice too ^^

OTOH, the rules part of the game is pretty clearly written and seems to be easy to reference.

Good on Mantic for NOT requiring folks to make an account, put a zero dollar item in a cart, check out and then have the pdf emailed to you.

EDIT: Well, at least they didn’t require it for the actual rules.

They DO require that exact type of nonsense to get the fluff pdf. At least it’s the lesser important stuff as far as gameplay goes.

No, no, the book has a setting background chapter... I mean unit background. What they are, other than a name and stats.
