We received the following press release.--RL

The SAGA rules support site has been redone. Check it out at www.angelfire.com/on/saga Also, it has been brough to my attention that crossbowmen are a mite powerful in respect to longbowmen/archers insofar as rapidity of fire goes. The Crossbowmen have the advantage of being able to fire while behind pavise, archer do not. Therefore, should we not count the crossbows low on ammo after they fire? Due to the fact that they were slow to reload (and they get cover advantages archers didn't), perhaps this is the way to deal with them. I await your input.

BTW, the Foundry edition of MW will not be out for another three months or so. I am having printed a number of copies of the revised rules (with b/w covers to keep the cost down), including ALL (90+) of the newly edited army lists. If anyone in the news/playtest group is interested, they will run $20.00 postage paid, and will also be available at HISTORICON.
