The supplement does not include the new rules and thus is not affected by these issues.

Gotta love sub-contracting. Thanks Hugs.

Sub-contracting issues can become Total War. Or maybe not if you paid in advance.

Keep the deposits to a minimum, that keeps them engaged. Monitor their progress so issues don't get out of hand.
From what you wrote this sounds like a quality issue that is going to force a reprint. Hopefully, the printer is on the hook for this.

You would think getting ink onto paper wouldn't be an issue for a printer.

For Peat's sake Alan, have you never heard of the Europa Series?

To be re-released imminently !
RE: Marianas 44 - vince hughes - 04-17-2014
Bad shame I can't get this supplement without stumping up $28 postage !
It'll have to wait until either
a) There are more books available to order in one go.
b) A UK retailer amazingly gets hold of some
c) Some passing touring Yank in London walks past me holding a copy and I cosh him, grab it and make off (whilst innocently whistling a jaunty tune)

You may want to read the Total War = Total Wait thread on BGG or the HMS/GRD Games game company/memory lane folder on Consimworld to understand my trolling here.
