Warlord Games

[Sherman A1]

For those in the table top miniatures community.

I picked up their new release The Cruel Seas a couple of weeks ago. Friday they dropped 10 pages of errata for a book that runs 107 pages in total about half of that being rules and scenarios. Following the discussions on a couple of Facebook groups and The Miniatures Page (TMP) it appears that they do not intend to replace the rule books for those who have already invested in the game system. The best that can be hoped for is a release of a corrected Quick Reference Sheet that can be downloaded and printed on your dime or wait until the 2nd printing of the rules comes out, then you can buy a corrected version.

This release was also plagued with packing errors in the sets. Items were mispacked and parts were missing forcing them to put a downloadable set of wake markers online as well.

1. As someone who plays a lot of board wargames

this seems almost routine to me. Those games generally have “Living Rules” in odd form that are continually corrected because nothing is right at release, and shooing our replacement parts is just par for the course.

As for Warlord, I think they had similar issues with errata in Bolt Action. Clearly some quality control weaknesses going on in that company.
