Losing the rules

[Ben Goudie]

Hello there. I bought this game ages back, when it was new, and have now neglected it for some years. I recently got the urge to dig it out again, and have picked up all the blast areas, figures etc. (whyever did I buy all the Doctors, not some more interesting fighty units?), I've entirely lost my copy of the rulebook, which I foolishly separated from the box, the few One Rings, the glossy brochure of pictures of models, etc.

Does anyone know where I could acquire the rules, by seeking, by emailing, by whatever means but repurchasing the game (which I suspect is now out of print), that I might learn them, and teach 'em to those against whom my Daleks and Ice Warriors are to do battle? If necessary, in proof that I'm not some non-game purchasing villain wishing to cop some free rules and circumvent law itself, I would be willing and able to provide photographs of myself with box, One Rings, figurines and the copy of to-day's Times as per espionage-thriller proof-of-actual-presence-of-claimed-item-on-day-in-question, but any aid in getting the big and complex set of rules back, so that I might let battle commence, would be very much appreciated indeed.

Both box set and separate rule book is still on sale on the Black Tree games sight. Box set was about 30% off (give or take) in the spring, but I see it is back up to regular price again. I have ordered from the black tree sight a good number of times in the past. Being over seas, orders do take a while to arrive.

Free post for orders over 50 pounds special is still on for the time being. I do not know for how much longer.

My first box set I ordered years ago had an errata slip in it, I am not sure if it is in the current sets.

In the end I ordered a new copy of the game from the site - it's only £15 at the moment, and, since it comes with 4 Daleks and 6 UNIT troops, was a very good deal - it would cost rather more than that to get 7 UNIT soldiers in a set, so there's a temptation to buy lots of copies of the game as a cheap way of bolstering my armies. The box was damaged by leakages, so they kindly sent me a spare rulebook, signed by Tom Baker, which was very good of 'em.

Incidentally, I'm assuming the Trooper (SMG) who (by way of misprint) has no point value is 1.5 points, since there's so little difference between him and the Sergeant. So far as I can work out, the set comes with slightly more Dalek points than UNIT ones, unless the SMG carrier has 2 points to balance out the 4 Daleks' 3.

I do have the rules, tho I lost track of the other things that came with the starter box, such as the blast templates and paper buildings exec. I didn't care much for the paper buildings as pre-fab RR or do it yourself kits work better. But where, other than buying another starter set can I get replacement blast templates?

I have two manuals with Errata slips in them. Unit SMG troops are 1 point.

Other Errata of note is Trooper (Grenades) should have the weapon stats:

Weapon.........D...EFF..PB...S.....M....L...E
Grenades X3...2....3.....-...3-6..4-6..-....-

Rest is text correction on the errata sheet.
