Not yet. It is due in late March. We usually list books coming into the shoppe a week or two out, sometimes a little earlier, but mostly a couple of weeks. Note that publishers sometimes postpone releases and shipping to us gets delayed for a variety of reasons, from weather to customs. When a book gets here, we usually ship it out to customers the next day.

OMM headed out to Cold Wars the day before the snow storm, and so missed the treacherous weather – and gave us an extra day of gaming. Per usual, we had a wonderful time at the show, did a little gaming, and enjoyed seeing our fellow friends and wargamers.
