The first European Winter Campaign event takes place in Weißenburg, Germany (near Nuremberg) March 2nd to 4th, 2012.
The schedule:

• Friday, March 2nd: Ancients Singles
• Saturday, March 3rd: 4E Singles
• Sunday, March 4th: 4E Doubles

All current Overlords, Dragonlords and Daemonlords are available for challenge.

If you’d like to attend or have any further questions, please contact Mario Strebakowski.

Then the troubles start, links and paths don’t work, or a software won’t even operate at all (so far that happened only with the forum, that’s up for heart transplant next ;-)). Then you decide, “while I am at it, I could transfer the old misnomed “warcraft-shop.de” into the much newer shop software I have been using for the US Shop. Suddenly the “few days” allocated for the entire move have turned into a “few weeks”.

Now, though, a new milestone is reached: The new Warlord Online Store for Europe and the World (that’s basically everywhere except North America, which is covered by the old store) is ready!

http://eushop.warlordccg.de

To celebrate this I have pledged out 20€  gift certificates for the first 20 orders of 40€ or higher and till end of March every order will receive a copy of Phoenix Rising, too.

So - I dare you to use the new store. If you still find anything hinky about it, please let me know.

Thanks to Don for alerting me to that (Don, I really appreciate you going through all that trouble!).

It’s fixed now (for the US-Shop at least).  The EU-Shop basically works - but right now buying in there would have everybody pay in USD instead of Euros (Euros are shown in the shop, but it’s not the currency that is used for the link to PayPal etc.).

Also on the way is a new restock to Don, but it’s going to take a few days to arrive.

One of those has been e-mail connection (the mail server changed to). AFAICS no mails were lost, but currently I am getting all e-mails filtered in triplicate (is there a word like “multiplicate”). Makes it very hard to sift through all messages in a timely fashion - and coordinating with Don and Rich on the upcoming Campaign events.

I hope to get that done asap to let you know more about dates and locations.

Currently I am working on getting the EU Shop integrated into the same system as the US Shop and getting the Forum up again.

After getting some of the graphics links corrected here (they were hard-coded in the database) I got the US-Shop up. The new short link is www.warlordccg.de/wld/us-shop - I haven’t gotten around to superimposing pretty links yet.

There are two new products up, as well.

First of all is the Phoenix Feather. It can be used in place of a Limited Wish in any deck and works the same way. Yes, you can combine it with Limited Wish, but the sum of both cards can only ever be three.

Another new - or rather enhanced - product is the Warlord Gift Certificate. You buy a $50 gift certificate in the shop - which you can use for any product including the Phoenix Feathers above - and you get the four retooled Warlords Kestrel the Deceiver, Rabinus the Elder, The Bloody Countess, and Warmaster Sceth as a bonus.

Now I am off to get the forum back online.

Next up is the US-Shop, then the forum and finally the EU-Shop.

I’ll keep you posted.

Therefore both Rabinus the Elder and Warmaster Sceth receive immediate errata:

Rabinus the Elder should say: “React: Once per turn, before target character you control…” and

Warmaster Sceth should say: “Order: Once per turn, ready target non-stunned Siege.”

Both these Warlords are not legal in official tournaments at this point, therefore the errata effectively only apply to challenges for now.

This is now reflected in the latest update in the official promo card list with ca. 15 new entries.

Some last minute cancellations could have dampened spirits, but in the end everything went okay - the location turned out to be ideal for our purpose.

Special kudos go out to Oliver Maschmeier - he is the only person to attend all 10 KoHITs as a player (Manolis is the other person to have been at every single one of them).

For results, please continue (more…)
