Well my area doesn’t have any BT players either (so it looks like I’d be buying two forces).

On the RPG books, how do the campaign/tactical packs shape up (are they a narrative campaign, how big are the forces)?

One thing I have found hard to find is video’s playing/explaining the game. I’ve been to Guerrilla Miniatures website (but like most of his lets plays it’s more dice rolling than explaining the game…it’s were the BoW videos shine in their take on lets play videos). And no real comparison on what Blitz gives vs Silhouette (lets face it, if you’re willing to play BT then the more complicated version of the rules in Silhouette isn’t off-putting).

But it also look like (alas) there’s no HG Blitz/Silhouette players here in BoW either.

I did find a UK stockist in ShinyGames (who also stock BT), and it looks like an army box of 15 plastic figs is about £50 (puts even GW to shame), however it’s about 50% less than buying the BT mechs…..

…so still not decided 🙁
