I think that FFG can do a "Print on Demand" of all missing cards in Core and 1st Cycle, for me the best solution. What do you think?

Guys, I don't want to burst your bubble, but this is never going to happen. EVER. The game has rather poor balance even among core set decks. Printing 3x everything core set would kill that game for casual play. And why would FFG print missing cards from core set and corruption cycle if there are still people buying those x3? Just be happy that now we have 3 copies of every card in battlepacks and expansions. I didn't want to sound like an asshole, especially when traffic on this forums is so low, but that's just truth :P

The core set should be redesigned, in that INSTEAD OF the limited-in-usefulness draft cards, place the missing 2nd and 3rd copies of the shorted cards in the set. Additionally, get rid of the worse-than-useless flimsy insert in the box to cut costs/materials, and reduce the box size to the dimensions of the rules booklet plus what ever depth is necessary for actual came contents. With card sleeves of all sizes these days, the capitals do not need to be boards; they can be cards themselves. I actually like this idea better because the capitals can be sleeved, more easily replaced if it comes to that, don't warp to the point that they spin every time you exhale/move your arm over them, don't chafe the ink off each other when in the box or slid past one another, and take up less space. They could even be dual-sided to make for less material and/or support alternate capital benefits or sub-race non-loyalty capitals.

For whatever reason, FFG decided to do up LCGs with board game packaging, with lots of empty space in the box. If the rule book was redesigned (and hopefully updated), with the boxed expansion size in mind, but without the useless inserts, the core set could be packaged with 3x all game cards it already contains in the same box dimensions as the subsequent boxed sets. As for Ulthuan, step one would be to drop the repeat Innovation cards.

As an owner of everything WH:I, including 3x core, Ulthuan, and all of Corruption, I would buy the 3x versions of all those right away, for the space it would save, and the reduction of time wasted finding cards I need in all those different yet repetitive boxes.

So legend cards can cover them completely

I'm speechless. You're probably one of the FFG best customers. Maybe if you buy everything one more time (including 3x Enemy Cycle, Morrslieb Cycle, Capital Cycle , March of the Damned and Legends like that Wytefang dude) FFG will consider your request and remove those awful Innovations from Assault on Ulthuan

This is probably because the game is meant to appeal to people that don't play CCGs. "Hey look, there is no randomness in the packs so you don't have to spend a ton of cash to get some cards." I guess those are board-game people? They're being tricked into buying a card game because it comes in a board game box, mwa ha ha.

The Complement Set would probably be the best possible way to do this, for three reasons:

1. FFG would indicate that they do not want to give competitive players a bad deal. Thus, they would gain in reputation.

2. New players to casual W:I could still buy the Core Set relatively cheap and thus be easily introduced to W:I.

3. It would be easier to get players to play non-casual W:I.

Concerning the third point, I recently introduced a friend to W:I who already had the Core Set but never played a game. After a couple of matches, he decided that it would be worth buying some stuff. Although he would have had the money to easily buy everything, he cautiously asked whether he should buy an additional core set or the first expansion or some battle packs. Without going into more detail, it basically came down to having to explain how W:I is published and which expansions/battle packs have all the necessary cards and which do not. With a Complement Set, I could have simply said, buy the Complement Set and then whatever you want.
