Thanks for the answers folk and saddly I'm nowhere near USA or UK - I'm living in Finland Can someone counter-argue some of the things in this review: http://handcannononline.com/blog/2011/10/25/puppet-wars-a-review/ I was scared off by these points: ''Also, even though the packs are not randomized there is still an element of collectibility in this game. There is a chase Teddie pawn that can be found once in every 10 booster packs. There are 5 different versions of this character too.'' Oh my, this sounds pretty... horrid... ''One thing that I find tragic about this game is that it really requires each individual to have their own collection of miniatures. It is difficult for two people to open the box and simply start playing since there is only a certain amount miniatures available between the two of them.'' This put suspicions on the basic boardgame box, will it truly be enough then? ''There are also a few figures that seem to be slightly off-balance. Some are very powerful and some very week. Normally you could just say hey that’s how things go, but the differences are notable and sometimes they apply to the master puppets themselves. This causes for unfortunate disparities between the suits/factions.'' I know that all miniature games have inbalances but how bad this actually is, or is the writer here mistaken? By the way, I'm very familiar with gaming overall, you could probably call me gaming addict I need my fresh ammount of new games here and there (that's why I'm exploring now puppet wars and malifaux).

Hello fellow gamers I happened to stumble today upon the puppet wars and saw that the box game was released (last year already... missed that completely) and I'm now really hyped up. The problem is that I enjoy very much optimizing my army lists etc. so how well can I start up with just the basic boardgame box? I wouldn't prefer buying pawn boxes 'cause that would probably bit too much in one go... I also noticed some posts which say that you would want many of the same pawn box, does this cause much more costs or are there many places to get minis which you want? I will probably also need to pay for the puppets of my GF so does that double the pawn boxes I need? Sell this game to me // review links etc. are also nice, I already watched how to play videos posted on here
