<t>The first printing of C&C is "outdated" simply because the 2nd printing is is the more viable form of the game IMO. I agree .pdfs generally stink, but there is a large portion of the gamer audience that likes them, and you don't want them buying a .pdf that is not your best effort (sorry Trol...

<t>It's strange (IMO) as to why TLG has not done this yet? Not that I'm interested in a .pdf version of the rules, but it seems to me that TLG would want their flagship version of their most popular game in the forefront of .pdf RPG dealers. Why have "outdated" material up there?<br/> <br/> ...........
