Not a rumour, a fact. So wave 8 for everybody this month, probably a week or so sooner for those of you who are residents in the States. Energize tractor beams !!!

Pretty sure they said March 17th for the states like a week ago, but welcome to the party I guess.

I assumed 17 March was the date the distributors would start shipping, not the date the shops would start selling.

Which is a shame because I am probably going to a tournament on the 19th, and I think playing a JM5k would be hilarious to do in a tournament 2 days after release.

A JM5k? Why not four?

Soontir. A well flown Soontir is basically immune to 2-die attacks.

3, you have an argument on your hands.

But mostly money is the reason.

North America yes. It might easily take 10-14 days before they ship in Europe, possibly longer elsewhere.

I'm fairly sure they're warehoused in Europe at the moment given that they've been on the ground in Germany for nearly a month.

Also, I understand that the ships dock in Europe before they go to the US, and Asmodee is an EU-based company, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's an EU and US release date.

The German Distributor has not yet received any shipping information according to the german forums. I'm not saying youre wrong, i'm just saying even they have no information yet.

Fair enough. I have nothing other than supposition, rumour, and hope to go on here!

North America yes. It might easily take 10-14 days before they ship in Europe, possibly longer elsewhere.

If FFG would ship from China to the US, to unload and then ship a container back to Australia they'd be pretty wasteful with their money, same as shipping it from China to the West Coast, transferring it across the continent and then shipping it to Europe.

And aren't they going for worldwide simultaneous releases these days?

I really hope so; I can only assume some of the delays are because of the logistics of organising this.

I understand, though I don't have a solid source, that the distribution pipeline has gone from Factory > Ship > Customs > Distributors > Stores to Factory > Ship > Customs > Warehouses > Distributors > Stores, so that all the distributors get the stock at the same time and you don't end up with a piecemeal release, but a combination of snowpocalypse and dockers strikes in the US has delayed things.

Polish distributor's site suggests simultaneous worldwide release. I hope it's true, there is a SC two days later
