Some private thoughts:
The book is significant more expensive than its predecessor,
No mention is made of still able to use the old armylists
By the look of it the changed at charging and the chariot rules
Panting section unchanged

With the multiple rulesets brought last years by some of the original writers and the mechanics that they brought for that
this promises to more interesting than WFB 8.0.

- £32 or about $50 US is a bit more, but less than was feared when it became known that Forge World was running Warhammer Historical.

- JJ (of Alexander the Great fame) has confirmed on TMP and the WAB list that the rules are fully backward compatible. All special army book rules are now included in the main rule book.

- All indicators are that a number of figity rules from version 1 have been revised to improve playability.

- What about the pants?

Appears we have the makings of a WAB 2.0 vs WFB 8 showdown this summer. My money is on WAB

GW makes no historical figures.
Sorting out which figs and from whom to buy is half the fun. There are dozens of historical manufactures - makes for a wealth of choices for style & price.
