How does the rulebook in the Flames of War Introductory Box differ from the 'real' rulebook? I know its supposed to be set up for those who've never played FOW, but what rules are left out? Will I need to buy the other rulebook?

Is this the one with the tanks? They sell five tanks and a rule book? Can my boy, 8 with some gaming experience learn these?

I don't know about the Shermans, but the StuGs are very frustrating. The schurzen are cast in one piece on the AFV in a very thin resin.
They were given to me to paint already shattered, and not even Gorilla Glue superglue will hold them.
Of course, they also broke in such a way that I didn't have enough pieces left to "repair" them whole.

The StuGs in the set BF sent me gratis (for a foul-up with parts replacements, so I can't complain too much) arrived the same way. So, I gathered, did many others'.

When I get around to it, I'm just going to remove as much as I can of the schurzen and lay ones cut from flexible, forgiving plasticard over them. They're not a priority.
