I don't understand why they don't think they can't compete against Space Hulk but who knows how things will shake out.

I think it's a good move to cut your losses at an early stage instead of sacrificing your savings, solvency and future, especially since we're facing a massive recession. It might be that there won't even be a new Space Hulk, but even the possibility is something that a struggling competitor cannot ignore.

So now we know why SH was announced for 2H 2009.

GW's better at FUD than I might have guessed.

Bravo!

While I do think this is a smart move on Grindhouse games part I am still saddened by this. I just happened upon there site not to long ago, and thought that the game sounded great.

Though free rules is good, and if they are good enough I will probably end up buying them from the company anyway if not for any reason but to support the little guy.

Personally I am more interested in this game then Space Hulk.

I already have the Space Hulk game. Incursion has... ZOMBIES. Space Hulk is old and already pigeon holed.


I will be picking up my starter set next month, and my germans the next. More to follow.

Hey guys.

The thing is that a boxed game is a far bigger investment than a rulebook, and hits you all at once unlike a mini line. Having your board game hit the market at the same time as a remotely similar product of a company the size of GW doesn't have to cost you many sales before it becomes a moneypit.

So, we are figuring out the best format to bring Incursion to market, but it definitely IS coming out, no matter what. Since we are not looking at a traditional boxed release, it will come out as a better deal to our fans, all things considered.
