All of the stats for every model are available as a free download.

For my part, I can't do e-books, at least not the way GW does them. If I can't get it to display properly on a computer (and I can't), paper is far more practical. I'm not buying a new machine in order to access a digital product.

Ironically, the free downloads are perfect for computers. If ebooks were in the same format, I'd buy them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789305/10834798.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789305/10834798.page GMT Will GW Make an eBook of Apocalypse Rules?

I don't own Apocalypse yet, so I'm not 100% sure, but I think t's because the book is part of a box full of cards, and the cards contain as many rules as the book itself.

My issue is that the book is ONLY available as part of this set. I’d like to be able to purchase the rules and look them over before investing in the rest of it. If they wanted to keep physical copies as only available in the box fine, but should at least offer the option of buying an ebook by itself]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789305/10834837.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789305/10834837.page GMT Will GW Make an eBook of Apocalypse Rules?

I'm inclined to agree there, the box seems to be intended for 1 per player, because you need a set of dice, counters and cards each.

But if the book alone, either physical or digital, is no actual use because you need the whole pack, then you want to buy it twice?

Of course, it would be more useful if GW split the 2 things then, release the rules book on its own as both print and digital, and if someone decides to go on and play Apocalypse, they must purchase the card, dice and counters box. Either way, GW can't lose, they will make money on speculative rules purchases. Plus in groups, you might only need 1 copy of the rules, whilst everyone buys the accessories box.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789305/10834964.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789305/10834964.page GMT
