According to Meeplemart:"They must hold the inventory until the official release date. Which, to my knowledge FFG has not set yet. Honestly though, these things can change hourly... this is why we try to avoid giving firm release dates for anything. It is just WAAAAAAYYYYYY to unpredictable. "This may be why FFG is showing the game as still "On the Boat". They may be dealing with other issues (like the legal issues some others have mentioned) making it take more time to get the game off to all the required distributors, and that's why they haven't updated it to "Shipping Now" and why most retailers are still in the dark as to when they will have it.

My store (Meeplemart) has now confirmed that the boxes have been at the distributor there since at least Friday last week.

My wife and I are looking at the picture trying to guess which one of those boxes has our copy of the game. :-)

The first transport is away!
Glad to see that the distributor to my own local store has it now!feeplegmail.com and Omegaclone reacted to this -
Time is limited, but I hope to paint my minis. It's something I enjoy doing, although prepainted would be nice as well.

Can you spend your surge focus on the same attack?
No, you have to wait until the next attack.
-
CSI has it out of stock now. Just FYI on that.
They still show as "Pre-Order" to me.

EDIT: Never mind. Shows as Pre-Order but does not allow you to order it with an "Email me when back in stock"
I guess they don't feel they can get any more than what's already been pre-ordered.

My store (Meeplemart in Canada) has just told me the games should arrive at the store next week.
El_Tonio and dogwithabone reacted to this -
Agreed. They used to have a bit of a customer service issue, but they've hired a couple new people over the last year or so and now between service, prices, and selection, they are about the best store for miniatures and board/card games in the country.
-
What is Meeplemart? Is that Miniature Market?
More like the Canadian equivalent to Miniature Market. Sells just about all the same stuff, and is often about the cheapest place to get it in the country.

Expansions status has now changed, and they are now "At the Printers". Scheduled release still Q1 2015. Good to see some movement there.

I also pre-ordered all the expansions from Meeplemart as well; I jumped on it because their Black Friday prices were so good (paid less than $9 CAD for General Weiss/AT-ST), and now I'm worried I'll see those prices jump as well.
-
I've seen a couple people mention that they've seen prices go up for this game, and today I saw this message from the store I have it pre-ordered from, Meeplemart:
-----------Fantasy Flight Games has announced a price increase of Star Wars: Imperial Assault. We have not received our final price yet, (especially with the Canadian dollar looking worse everyday)...Meeplemart price should now be around $84.95 but we will not know for sure until it arrives.As per our Pre-Order policy; final price is subject to change, so those of you who have pre-ordered a copy now have the option of cancelling your pre-order or paying the difference when it arrives. Those of you who Pre-Ordered it on Black Friday will have the option of paying the difference of $84.95 - 12% or cancelling your Pre-Order.------------- -
I saw today that "Battlelore: Command" updated to "in store" this morning, even though it went live 9 days ago - I'm thinking the "Upcoming" page may be out of date.
-
Can units be double stunned?, doubled bled?
No.
From "Conditions" in the Rules Reference:
A figure cannot be affected by multiple instances of the samecondition. For example, if a figure that is already Stunnedwould become Stunned again for any reason, nothing happens.Armandhammer reacted to this -
Well that's good to hear. Of course, there's a week after Christmas that's part of Q4 as well...

Here they are compared to Star Wars Miniatures and are almost the exact same size:

Wikipedia says Star Wars Miniatures are 34mmSecretFire81 reacted to this -
I have finished to read rules, my impressions are that in this game in campaign mode imperials are a sort of sparring partner and will never defeat rebel heroes. they have so many hit points that really doubt imperial player can win a match and then with new abilities and equipments to unlock they become more powerful.
About casual gamers from what I read probably will be more fun a skirmish mode, but I don't know.
In the campaign missions, the Imperials do not have to completely destroy all the Rebels to win the match. They can just wound each one, and/or there are other objectives for the Imperials. If you look around for battle reports from those who already have the game, it sounds like the Imperials have no problem winning half the games in the Campaign.
-
An AT-AT where top lifts off to reveal tiles that the miniatures can move around in and interact with, would be awesome.
-
Am I missing something? I'm looking at the "Upcoming" page and it still shows as "On the boat".
-
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can choose to do it whenever you want in the sequence. I don't see anything that says otherwise.
-
Yeah, a great job there. That pic sold me on painting my Imperial Assault minis.
-
You can choose to activate your ally whenver you want (when it's the Rebel players' turn to activate). You don't do it at the same time as a hero.
From the "Rebel Allies" section of the Rules Reference:
"When it is their opportunity to resolve an activation, Rebel players can choose to activate an ally, collectively controlling it. After activating an ally, exhaust its Deployment card, and then the Imperial player performs an activation."
I do believe the rules are a bit confusing, as "their" in the above paragraph looks like it could refer to a specific hero, which would mean they activate alongside a hero, but I believe it refers to "Rebel players" as a group, as that's in the same sentence, which would mean they get their own activation. -
Jonny - full rules of the game are available here:

Imperial Assault is at my local distributor

I have read / heard that FFG is for some reason not allowed to distribut the game themselves, which they do for certain stores. Not sure if this is true or not. Marximus's idea of simultaneous Europe / U.S. release is just as likely, but apparently there are European distributors who also have the game in stock already, so this even this may not delay the release too much.
