I think lack of a US distributor is hurting. It is hard to get new
players when the rule books are not easy to obtain. I have run a couple
of FT demos at my local hobby store and had great fun and a great
turnout. But when I told the intrested players the only way they could
get the rulebooks was to order them from England the next question was
could I make a copy of my rules. Yes ordering from England is fairly
quick and not that expensive but the "Me" and "Now" generation do not
want to wait so they will go on to other games where the rule can be
picked up at a local store.

Huh? Where are you shipping to? It was always cheaper for me to buy 
straight from GZG than from a US distributor. Not to mention the fact 
that I'd get it quickly and I'd have access to the newly designed
figures.
