I think that is exactly what WILL happen. Lots of "EA Development" and "basic How to Play" type articles that have heralded the release of other games like BFG. I think that the lessons from lack of advertising and support from Epic 40k will really be learnt, and if GW does anything well its advertising.
Of course I may be looking through rose coloured glasses of hope...

Does this apply to every country or will it depend on whats going on in the relevant regions?

Darn good point Darkone- curse you! I hadnt though of that...
...which means that because GW Oz isnt supporting EA at all that means that any EA stuff will pobably be clipped from our edition of WD...
Guess I'll be getting some UK/US editions posted in with my Epic models which they refuse to stock here

Tas,
I learnt that not all regions follow through with releases, look at the Epic Exodites for example, the U.S. did release them but not the U.K., who scraped the idea or something. Sorry if this is a bit of repetition but what if GW Oz does not support E-A at all?
In general, I have been wondering, if the GW regions handle it themselves, how will they stagger the releases? How did BFG get re-released? I know that the "add-on Invasion" (was it called Invasion?) supplement wasn't available until later in the U.K. so I got it from the U.S.

In General I was wondering, if the GW regions handle it themselves, how there are going to stagger it? How did BFG get re-released? I know that that add-on invasion (was it called invasion?) supplement wasnt available til later in the U.K. so I got it from the U.S. |
Doug- Not exactly sure- I think GW US decided to re-release BFG because it wasn't selling well, and so a bit of a push would get it going again- this seems to have worked, so GW UK have copied them, and made a rather half-hearted attempt at it...  ?..dissapointing! 
-Are you sure BFG: Invasion is out in the UK though, I thought not? 
However, disregarding that, I would think that as Epic:A is a whole new game, it will be released in different areas at approximatly the same time- GW US might be a month behind for shipping, etc possibly..?
Poor old Tas in Australia will find things difficult- there were always complaints about GW Aus and BFG stuff on the Yahoo BFG list... and it seems this is/will be the case with all Specialist Games... very bad imo....
Just my thoughts... cheers,
