@ Apoc: Points taken. Thanks for your input.
Out of curiosity, to anyone who may know, has anyone contacted FFG personally to bring any errors in any products you've purchased from them to their attention? If so, what kind of response did you get?
Hopefully the good folks over at FFG will keep trying to get it right in the future.
@Sausageman and Apocryphal Lore:
Thanks for your explanations.
I wouldn't care about a replacement for the two or three misprinted cards in OoW though. But I would really like to see replacements for the alltogether broken cards in the guides/vaults and I demand that FFG rounds the creature guide up by offering a pdf download with a list of suggested and/or default monster actions (as somebody in this forum already did). It seems they already noticed the lapse, because in Liber Carnagia they added "Suggested Actions" to the fluff of the Khorne beasts.
But that's just how I feel about it.

I have - the response was something akin to 'we have no plans to replace these components at this time, though we do offer high quality PDFs that you can print out'.
I wasn't especially happy or satisfied with this answer...

Even Mansions of Madness, which is relatively new came with some replacement cards right out of the core box when we bought it a couple of weeks ago. Why is this so hard to do for WFRP? FFG should at least acknowledge the issue, adress it and explain to us fans if they are going to solve it and how.
This is the crux of the matter for me. If they never provided replacement cards, we wouldn't have a 6 page thread on the subject right now. The problem is, they have set a precedence for their board games, and they are ignoring that for this game - and I really struggle to see why....
So finally OoW arrived. And despite the couple of errors in it, it's a great AddOn. I'm looking forward for the next combat...
I have to make a few houserule criticals and then expand my storage system for all those cards.

It may simply be a matter of cost. Different games, different costs. Printing up replacement cards can actually be much more expensive than you'd think. Because you are getting reprints of only a handful of cards instead of whole sets the cost-per-card can be much higher. There's also the question of demand. It may be that not enough people are asking for the replacements. This would be because of different customer culture/approach to gaming between boardgamers and RPGers. A misprinted card can be a lot more problematic in a boardgame than in an RPG, so if a boardgame has a bad card almost every customer will demand a reprint, while RPGers are willing to just put up with it.

I believe that the cost-per-card problem could easily be solved by printing them at the same time as an expansion in my oppinion, and including it in that expansion box, that way they would print whole sets and not only a handful of cards. If they had started doing this from the beginning and it would only be one or two cards that were reprinted for every expansion, that can't be super expensive and everyone would be happy (also we'd have to get all the expansions to get all the errata cards, and that would make sense from a selling perspective).

[cut]. FFG did not and will do no such thing!
heh
sad, but true right?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to take it out on you, but I'm sick of people telling other people what they are allowed to be upset about... and I don't think anyone is demanding FFG do anything - everyone is playing the game and having fun - they are just voicing their disappointment and desires
100% true

If this is the reason, which it probably is, I sincerely hope their Print on Demand capacity they recently announced will change their policy.

It might, but I'm not sure how it would help.
I see this being something they will fix with the print on demand feature as that develops further. I'm not overly concerned about the cosmetic errors, I'm sharp enough to know what is meant when an "e" is missed at the end of a "the" and so on. Although I do feel that its in FFG's best interest to provide those who are incensed with these errors with replacement pieces.
I personally thought Omens of War was an overall strong product.
