I was wondering if anyone else had issues with the cover peeling away from the pages. If so, I am curious how people went about fixing it.

No issues here, but there are a few complaints about the pages falling from the binding.

1 solution I have seen was to take it to staples (or any office store) and get it spiral bounded. I think the member said it cost around 5 bucks or so.

Eh, its a nice thought, but I never really liked spiral bound books because the pages ripped out too easily and the spirals themselves get all funky and bent and such after a while.

Fortunately I tried the next best thing, I read a post that stated with glue bound books like this, one could cover them with a thin cloth and iron the binding at a low temperature to remelt the glue. It seems to have worked, at least as a temporary solution. But then again, I've always had problems with books bound like this. Open them up and the first five or six pages are already peeled from the binding. One would think publishers would have found a better way of doing it by now. But I digress.

I don't think anyone would deny that this binding issue is most certainly a factory defect. If you contact FFG's customer support I'm sure they would provide you with a replacement. The spiral binding idea is really just a good way to avoid needing to wait on a replacement in the mail. I'm sure there are other binding options if you don't like spiral, too.

It's nice that FFG would send replacements. But this will tap into $$$, probably not good for tannhauser both for the fans and the company.

I thank FFG for breathing life into this game rather than leaving it to die. But it will do just that if they don't get on the ball. It took about 8 or so months to release the new rules, something I understand. Have to create new rules around existing components,, play test for a long period of time, edit, make changes, play test some more.

Now it's time to get the ball rolling. The troop pack is to be released this month. Nothing really special. This game needs new maps, new weapons, new troops, new characters. ASAP

FFG has to make it know to many that tannhauser is under a new company with new easier more streamlined rules. Something a few I have noticed did not know over at BGG.

Many thought the game needed to be re-written. I don't think the new rules are better game play, just easier for people to get into. Official printed game cards I believe can do wonders for the game.

Back when the REvised Rulebook was released FFG was telling us that the FAQ & errata was 'in the works'. Now many months late we are still waiting for it and still have no news from the summer release' nor from the Daedalus release.

Worse we have now another product set in a similar unchronical universe taking all the spotlight, Dust Tactics. I reckon that by its release it will benefit from much more support than Tannhäuser will have. But this is not a single issue problem, as all fan of Classic Battlelore certainly know.

Too right Plagueman... too right.

Just wanted to let everyone know, my rulebook was doing the same thing where the cover was coming loose of the pages. I did the iron trick (ironing the spine with a thin cloth over it to remelt the glue) and it was successful. So for now, I recommend trying the ironing trick first to see if it helps keep the binding together. I am hoping this is more than a temporary solution.

Mine rulebook did the same thing though the .pdf version is holding up just fine so far.
