The Designer's Notes have reached their 15th draft, and are finally beginning to get somewhere. Jay Olsen has done a completely fantasitic job on the rules themselves, bringing in the FAQ and re-editing. The rules in their ninth draft now run to 25 pages. The alphabetical subject Index of topics adds 3 pages, showing each case number in which the item is mentioned. At the moment Chris Moeller is working with his long-time editor, Dan Raspler, cropping some of the extensive new text and replacing it with a more relaxed commentary explaining the design intent. Next in line, Chris will finish the Player's Notes and British strategy notes, while Dan has taken-on the French. Once these two items are finished, the rules folder will go to press. We do expect to have the new folders available at Origins on July 2nd. Includes ... a new 48-page rules book with Designers Notes, Players Notes, Historical Notes incorporates all Q&A directly into their place in the text of the rules Sequence of Play, Rules Index, Short Battle Rules, 1809 and 1812 Scenarios, and more. Price: $7 including handling and shipping within the U.S. Overseas customers please add $1.40 surface or $2.80 airmail postage.
