So its almost 1/2 the price of the last release. And still complain.

Huh? The price has gone up 25% for the same models, same game but a few new tiles and 4 new missions... but don't let that get in the way of your white knighting

I sensed a disturbance in the hive mind, and saw this thread. 10 seconds later to open up the GW page for confirmation...and another 15 seconds to dial up my flgs. My copy is secure.

This is going to be great, does anyone think the WD accompaniment will be worth it?

Well, its a great game.
I wouldn't miss it!

What are some main points of the game? Is there still a shooting phase?

Not as such.

You have a certain number of Action points per model. It costs X AP to do something. You can do stuff like move 1 square forward for 1AP, shoot for 1AP, you can move+shoot for 1AP, you can turn 90* (not 'up to' - ALL turns are 90*) for 1AP. You can move into B2B with a stealer and die for 1AP (they roll more dice than you do). You can even set overwatch or fire the flamer or whatever.
Now, here's the kicker. You have 5-10 models and you generally don't have enough points to do everything you want with them.

You can shoot before you move, you can shoot during a move or you can shoot after your move. You can move, do CC stuff and if you have AP left, shoot THEN.

It's a more "action movie" boardgame than static GW tabletop game (where you do XYZ per phase and ONLY XYZ. So you can't ZXY for example).
