actually jhary, its in the venues hands not the envoys. It was intended to boost sales however...

Hm then i hope that new stuff is coming. This cards lok cool but not cool enoutgh that i buy all double.

I agree wholeheartedly! the marketing is a bit wonky... thats not to say that you couldnt work something out with your shopowner, maybe give u card packs for other purchases sine you already have all the CS stuff?

Ok i have a unfail able weapon. A friend of mine shoud sit on him until he give the cards out. My friend weight so 150 to 200 kilogramms by 2 meter size

That is indeed something that suprised me, I heard absolutely nothing about these cards on the official way [venue, envoy, website team]. I wonder if Wk will make an annoucement once they are more readily available, like they did with the Duels cards.

LOL Com_Raven didn´t you knew that even partners of Wk need no information. WK is no company its an Secret Agency.
Bad joke i knew but some feel like this.

Oh well, once Christmas is over, i'll try to get some infos. That is if I am not too busy with Counterassault ;)

Could it be possible that WizKids isn't really behind the card release? I haven't seen any of the cards' packaging, but microsoft does hold some of the licensing...could they have done something because of the X-box game in order to get more interest for WizKids' game??
I know it's probably unlikely...I'm not trying to get a "conspiracy theory" goin'...but it would explain why WK hasn't said anything about the cards. Why would they if they didn't make them?
Just a thought.

No Dax i know MS to long true my work. they woud buy Wk for the releas of CS-game before they start to produce some thing self for advertising. So the cards must be from WK. And the almost no informations about them fit perfekt to the style Wk works. Then WK is more interested in the USmarket then in the World market. So its not uncommen if you life not in a game hot spot that you have to pray for every thing.

The cards are from WK. They sent the envoys a notification of the release prior to distributing them to the venues.

I would expect they will post something on the main website after the holidays.

Well, they didn't inform european envoys or venues so far, which I take as a bad omen for me personally. Maybe I can acquire a set on Ebay.

And Dax, if you are interested about the MS/ WK relation, read my posts in the rumour mill.

The cards are definitely from WizKids, as they are arriving to most venues with prize support packages. Many are surprised, though - during my Christmas travels I checked with game stores in no less than three other cities, and none of them knew anything about the cards.

Now, to minor responses before we hopefully move on: I had hoped Ape would leap to my defense when someone actually did tell me to shut up, alas, not to be.

Rapier, while I understand your frustration with repetition, the alternative would seem to be silence; with a stagnant game, that is often the only result when a game goes stagnant. I know we'd all like to think we can change the world and save the game with positive input, but if WK decides to kill it, CS will vanish just as thoroughly as FASA's version did.

Finally, while it may be annoying to some, complaining can indeed change things. MWDA is currently undergoing a serious makeover, from rules to release schedules. There has been a great deal of complaint about each of those features. If I had to pick those complaints or the "I love this game but I want to see the Smoke Jaguars!" comments as the cause of that, I'll go with the complaints.

It was just a thought...to be honest, but not intending to be rude, I don't really care about corporate relations...I just knew CS is a shared franchise.

Buhalin sorry to correct you but the old FASA CS isn´t Vanished. The strange thing is that more people search for old FASA Game stuff then they did before Wk came up with it. Next thing is that some players try Wk games and go then to the "Oldtimers" like Btech and CS from FASA. Ever seen the face of some MW Players when some one open there old cases with there armys inside? Or there Look when an aircombat start with so 12 planes per side?

I guess it's a matter of location then, jhary - it's dead and buried from the 3-4 cities I've been in recently.
