Mine turned up just now and it is glorious. I'm sure there will be typos in the rulebook (as always), but it looks really nice (as always). Now to find some time to play...

**Col Hammer**

The Black Reach rulebook is based on the Heroes of Normandie Compendium version of the rulebook, which was edited by a native english speaker.

So there should be far less typos and translation issues than what the original HoN game was riddled with.

Enjoy your game. I'm still waiting...

**Stormonu**

Any word on US orders? I’m still waiting on my preorder through MM.

**Col Hammer**

The last thing I've read, the ship has reached US. So maybe the stuff is in customs?

**Col Hammer**

I got my chapter order today. Spent the last few hours punching out the punchboards and sorting everything in the storage boxes. Everything was in order and looks very good.

Gotta play some Black Reach games tomorrow...

**Col Hammer**

The dpg guy at the DPG's own board told us that the HoBR stuff has arrived in US and is currently in the distribution center.

So US players should be starting to get their games finally.

**Stormonu**

The wait has been quite frustrating for me, I’d apparently misread the original release date as February and have a large order that’s tied up waiting for this to release. I’ll be very happy to finally have this in my hands.

I got zapped pretty hard back with RRT and my tolerance for “preorder” delays/issues is pretty much non-existent, so the issues with HoBR have really been testing my patience. I’ve been trying not to think about it, but at the same time be on the lookout for it once it ships.

I have also preordered Heroes of Stalingrad, but I suspect there will be delays on that as well.

**Col Hammer**

Heroes of Stalingrad was a kickstarter, not a preorder. Not that there's much difference. We still have to wait for the printing, shipping, customs and delivery part. So even if all goes well, it'll take a long time.

Stalingrad might not be that much late though as DPG kept the kickstarter really tight and included just what they planned and nothing more. It did not bloat with too much content as some kickstarters tend to do. So it might actually deliver close to what was announced. They also said they have the funding for it, even with the money troubles they are having.

Time will tell.

**Col Hammer**

I think the Heroes of Black Reach shipping is well underway in the US too (or maybe even done by now).

Another news from DPG: Heroes of Normandie - the Card Game is finally starting to move again!

DPG posted this update:

In difficult times, it’s always nice to be the one to tell the good news. As we had announced, the production of Heroes of Normandy – Tactical Card Game was finished but the products had to be assembled and prepared for shipment. It is now done, as you can see on the pictures below!

In the coming days, we will devote ourselves entirely to preparing and checking the packing lists indicating to the factory how much of each product to send to our various dispatchers according to the geographical areas. At the same time, we will finalize the dispatching files so that they can start sending packages as soon as they receive your pledges.

We know from experience that we still have work to do on this Kickstarter and that it will only really be finished when all the backers have received the package they have been waiting for for a very long time. However, we are pleased that our efforts in recent weeks have resulted in unlocking the situation and taking this important step forward.

We will not fail to keep you informed of the departure of the products from the factory.

As we have become accustomed to, we treat the subjects one by one. When we are done with HoN-TCG, there will be time to take a serious look at the 4th and final project in progress: Heroes of Stalingrad!

**Albertorius**

Saw the Heroes of Black Reach core at the FLGS last weekend, so I can confirm it does really exist ^^.

**endtransmission**

I'm pleased for those that backed the HoN card game. Glad to finally see that one nearing shipping

**Col Hammer**

Also starting to ship now is the Heroes of Normandie Gazette #8.
It was printed in poland instead of china.

Once the Gazette #8 and HoN: Tactical Card Game are shipped, the only outstanding product is the Heroes of Stalingrad.

**endtransmission**

Excellent stuff. I'd forgotten about the last Gazette!

**Darkjim**

I recently got Heroes of Black Reach, and some of the add ons, and, as at the top of the page, it is glorious.

A complete cut down cardboard 40K, beautifully done. Deserves far more attention.

**AegisGrimm**

I totally can't wait to (at least) get the Ork reinforcement box from Heroes of Black Reach, so my Heroes Of Normandie Germans can fight them as the Death Korps of Kreig on my Normandie maps.

**Stormonu**

Unfortunately, still waiting for my Black Reach to show up. I ordered mine through Miniature Market and they've basically said it's coming, but I have no idea when I might actually get it. Very frustrating.

**AegisGrimm**

When you look on Amazon, it looks like those copies don't ship till the end of the month (Nov). So maybe thats when other stores will get it, too.
