Over in my little corner of California WAB is doing alright. For me, WAB 2.0 is a better set of rules and people around me have adopted them. There are a few odd things but we just make some house rules and everyone is happy. I guess I'm blessed with a good group of gamers that are open to modifications to rules and lists.

We don't have too many WAB converts since 2.0 came out down where I am but we have gotten a few. Mainly by getting them involved in our club. They see a few us playing on club night and want to start getting their own army. Nothing really has to do with GW support or lack of it with them. I guess Pat from SoCal Warhammer radio has been having some real good luck though up north with his recruiting though.

Although with Jeff J being local, the FotW update a French group putout a while back (which I love) and the custom lists the folks around here put together and share I have what I need for years of gaming. BTW I'm really interested in seeing how your Anglo-Norman force turns out Ilan.
