I've been wanting to try this game ever since someone (Barnes?) first mentioned it on the F: AT blog many moons ago. Glad to hear it got picked up for an english release, and I hope Z-Man can get it out in a timely manner.
First, Z-Man Games will release the second edition of Neuroshima Hex! (the one that Portal Publishing sold at Spiel 07) in English in Summer 2008. The retail price will be $50, and Zev Shlasinger is doing his own printing so the game shouldn’t have the miscut tiles that appeared in some copies sold at Spiel. The Doomsday Machine army given out as a preorder bonus at Spiel will not be included in the game as the designer feels that army has balance issues, but the Z-Man edition will include some kind of new material. If you have suggestions, Zev wants to hear them. (Note that he already nixed my proposal of real working lasers.)
