That is just speculation on my part though, but basing that on: "hey there is a problem, so here is the download fix for the printed card you have."<br /><br />I think Mark Latham did a great job making the rules readable, but there are definite gaps there still, which I put down to how the game has been defined rather than how the translation was cleaned up; and for me those issues get compounded by the fact that some 20% of the cards seem to have errata requirements, even ignoring the early ones shifting from Hates Batman to Hates Batman/Law/Green Arrow.<br /><br />TLDR: I think they can do better. Whether KM agree that they need to is another matter....pulpcitizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827978428130531133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341589131708835949.post-80924776236445408442015-04-12T02:19:32.997-07:002015-04-12T02:19:32.997-07:00It does appear to be a higher rate of QC than othe...It does appear to be a higher rate of QC than other manufacturers. I've had MDF kits from Sarissa, Warbases and a really detailed piece from Fenris without the slightest issue.

I pr...Nice work, on both the prisoners and the van.<br />I probably would have launched the model through the room :).<br />I also wished my pile of miniatures would disappear as fast.<br />I've had some issues with the cards (some were cut with part of the text missing). But as I still have to start on my miniatures and have none of their MDF so far I can only hope it stops there. <br />The cutting of the MDF being not deep enough is something I had trouble with on kits of other manufacturers too though. In particular with the Wolsung terrain from Micro-art.Wouterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271989973988511989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341589131708835949.post-79750983209163648632015-04-11T11:11:24.847-07:002015-04-11T11:11:24.847-07:00To be fair, I've hardly been affected, but the...To be fair, I've hardly been affected, but there's no way this should have been sent out and it's not an isolated incident with the MDF.
