Hi from Greece fellow warzoners, this is my first post here. Before I post my humble request I would like to share a small story with you.
About fifteen years ago while reading a magazine about Pc games my eyes were fixed in a gigantic blue armourd German like figure that was included in the magazines pages. I saw the toy soldiers and fell in love with them. It was love at first site I tell you, so I started saving money to buy the game for Christmas. I remember even now calling the shop manager and asking to send me the box with the toy soldiers in blue armor carrying big guns. The manager did send me a box but not the one I hoped for. He sent me a 40K Space marine box instead. Whether you believe it or not it took me around two years to understand the mistake that him and I had made (WZ in Greece didnt have such a big group of fans) and I was way in 40K to turn back. I made a promise to my self though that one day I would start collecting and playing the game no matter what...
Years have passed since then and about six months ago while I was watching a movie about the trench battles in WWI like a flashback it all hit me in the head. That was it, I started having the WZ fever again. After some careful preparation I was sure all was set for the fullfilment of a little kid's big dream, the money was there, I had convinced three mates to join me, and (most important of all) my girlfriend had agreed that we could find some space for another mini Army and then ... Excelsior went down.
I have red carefully almost all the talks about the license issues and I am pretty sure that some how a solution will be found to continue the game. I was trully touched with the love you are showing towards the game and I honestly admired the ideas of taking over the responsibility for it's future. I personally know a couple of independent retailers in Greece that maybe if you did something they could help with the distribution in Greece.
Although the game seems to be shaky at the moment I am determined to start gaming. That is why I have recently bought a great number of SM scouts and IG (Steel legion and Deathkorps) which are currently unpainted and are waiting to be converted to Bauhaus and Capitols. I am really ready to commence the game but I cannot find the rulebook. Is there anyone out there who has the rulebook in electronic form and maybe be able to send it to me via e-mail or give me an internet adress where I can find it.
If yes just answer this post and I will give you my e-mail.
Thanks a lot and keep it up, guys. It is guys like you that make guys like us never give up until our little boys big dreams come true...
Cheers fdr
