The co-signed below do hereby submit this petition for the company known as "Fantasy Flight Games TM. C. PTY LTD esquire" to utilise air frieght shipping for the expiditious distribution of its eminent and highly anticipated pre-release event kit "Massing At Sullust" to its eager and loyal patrons of Friendly Local Games Stores (henceforthe referred to as FLGS in perpetuity) of the international (i.e. not American) persuasion.

As it stands, "Summer" tournament kits have only recently arrived to warm us from hibernation on our cool spring days in the southern hemisphere. To expect a similar delay for the resources required to hold the aforementioned Global event would not only delay the experience for those who were sadly fortunate enough not to live in the US of A, it will dilute what was established to be a Global Weekend of FFG Wargaming.

For your consideration,

We, the undersigned do submit to you.

No, as a selfish American, I will intercept these blockade runners of this rouge British colony with the ISD's that we Americans don't currently have. But in the American tradition of Americans, we take what we don't have from our future us, and use it now.

Yes indeed. In particular to Newcastle!

(I guess you better send some to the regions as well).

In all seriousness, If they ran massing at sullust here in Oz it could be bigger than Nationals.

Oh, what the hell, give the boys across the pond a fighting chance with ships of the line! History has shown that they cant stand against American Frigates!

"Following their earlier losses, the British Admiralty instituted a new policy that the three American heavy frigates should not be engaged except by a ship of the line or smaller vessels in squadron strength." The War of 1812.

Of course, woe be to the French and Spanish Armada players when they get them!

FFG likely can do no such thing as they have distribution agreements with various companies in various countries.

But in the American tradition of Americans, we take what we don't have from our future us, and use it now.

True story! I hate future me that guys a jerk! I take his money and make him do things on my to-do list.

From my understanding of the rumours on reddit, the freight comes from China to us by ship then air transported to the rest of the world because that's cheaper somehow. Wouldn't be so bad to have a few kits drop off the charter before flying off to the rest of the world right? !

I suspect that somewhere there are 'well supplied' Chinese Armada players just sneering at the rest of us and wondering when wave 3 will, '...fall of the back of the plane...'

J--

... From what FFG said to us, they were being Air-Freighted to non-american distributors.

There's only one distributor for the Kit in Canada, for example (Lion Rampart?) - they have the FFG Exclusive - so our FLGS had to contact them, and not Fantasy Flight, for the Sullust Kit (and paid the Dosh for it)....

we should totally do an 1812 themed campaign or something
