Comment english:

I've thought ENGLISH rulebooks should be available before translated ones
For germany the 5th july is point of release,but Mail order delivered faster.

2nd Comment:

Just pre-order ,when lookin for new stuff

First post was real good spelled.

Is there a worldwide release date or a different for each language? GW germany says july 5th , so GW usa is july X ?

Twelve. July twelve.

I work at a place with Spanish, Mandarin, and Portuguese speakers. I consider my occasional forays into (very bad high school) German sweet revenge in a strange sort of way.

Oh,thanks.

but the Uk must be earlier? cannot believe we start 7 days sooner than countries without need of translation.
Perhaps GW wanted some time for us to read, our GD is on july 27.

Typical German efficency is the only explanation. We English speakers are lazy girlie men.

Or the internet PDF style of things, even faster. June 30.

Which language? swedish/english ?

I love to read rulebooks and codices in my bathroom sittin.

There are typically a few places that get their pre-orders early. Looks like Deutschland won the coin toss on this one!

And Valhallan42nd, don't forget to decline those nouns! And never förget the ümläüts!

I know. I've forgotten more than I knew. The only things I remember with any clarity are offensive!

More ümläuts in Turkish than German.
If you want to silence a turk,forbid him the ü !
IF you want to silence a swiss, forbid him the i !

The Best and important words in any language ARE offensive.

No need for pre-order.
I bought my copy in a shoppe yesterday.

Independent or GW ?
At 02.07.08 ? Don't get confused with the title I took for the thread.

An independent one.
And i got a pack of the new markers as well ... for 6,25€

a good friend of mine orderd his 5th. ed. a few weeks ago, and he is still waitng. but once he gets it, im going to have to club him over the head, and grab it, and lock myself in the bathroom once he comes over with it.

Hoping mine will show up in the next day or two and I can be done with all this 'in limbo' sillyness.

UK advanced orders arrived today. At least to one happy soon to be ex londoner

A lot to learn for GW to get a worldwide releaseday done as other companies are able already.

Did anyone know why people on dakka call the stats-charts on the last pages "wrong" ?

I think this is a new book with stats taken from the dex or a could-be statline from a dex in construction.
When someone said he will use the rulebook-stats,I wouldn't deny my permission.

Maybe the stats are not what some dakkaites like, but taste is personal opinion and a BGB the foundation of the game.

OTOH, given that a lot of other big companies fail to do worldwide release days, GW isn't alone here.

I think that perhaps GW Germany is characteristically more organized and efficient than the rest of GW?

I vote NO!

Well, they certainly have the proper human capital to instill in each generation the necessary principles of leadership and tradition.

I wouldn't say GW Germany is better, because I've never had contact with other GW's.
Their delivery of products is still slow,a mail order to send your stuff in 1,5 - 2 weeks is real !

Standard shops for historic plastickits deliver in 3-5 days guaranteed.

GW-mail order claims they only gather orders,delivery goes over GW uk. :S

Maybe the rulebooks were at GW germany and spared some time!
