Pat,
1. I just checked to be sure and fortunately we still live in the United States of America not Amerika.
2. For $60 at the right flea market table you can knock out the good portion of a 25mm army in Old Glory packs. Put in perspective, $60 is a fair amount of money for WAB 2.0 in it's current state.
3. If WAB 2.0 was complete and correct there would be far fewer questions about how to play and far more AARs and hints on how to
get the most out of your WAB gaming experience.

I would love to see an analysis without all the angst, hyperbole and agendas out of it, and see what actually did change - on the table.
