Hard to say. Heartbreaker has yet to make much impact yet; I think Chronopia isn't
going to be much of a success either. There was a month where Warzone outsold WH40K
in the US, but they put out a new rulebook and I think a lot of players threw up
their hands in disgust. We had a group of maybe six that played quite a bit, and I
know their was another group of abot ten at a store across town.

I would like to see Warzone come out with ONE rulebook, with a good, balanced army
list for each army. I think that this would encourage more people to try it; now you
spend ~ $60 just for rule books.
