I got mine today. Several tactical changes should be made with my Beasts, several things I regret but I hope there will be much "cleaner & clearer" battles in this edition.

No more restraining with Khorne Character in Herd (blast!), no more units of 2 characters (blast again!) but also no more close combat mayhem with Empire Pistoliers (hurah!).
I like how they did the rules regarding fights in houses.

I suspected that would happen, even though I'm not in possession of the hardback version as yet. Perhaps having both on the shelf is a good idea...

Craps. It's inaccurate? I never expected that of GW. ;)

I just bought the pocketsized one from eBay for $15.00. Boo, Hiss! :(

You must of course buy the rulebook, GW doesnt sell electronic versions of their books.

If you want background and don't have a lot of it available otherwise, go with the hardback copy and have somebody correct any mistakes for you.

If you just want the ruleset, then the BfSP box would be better value.

I experienced that the page numbers are the sam in the large and small rulebook. The rules section is just copied into the small book frame as well as into the large one. The page counting of the pages before is in roman numbers, I think.
So there will be no confusing, hopefully, by pagenumbers, except for the old referenves in the armybook, except for the new O&G book.
