Is there any truth that the SSU items will not be out till end of May?

I think they will be available very soon, since the rulebook and cards have already been posted. Wouldn't surprise me to see them for sale by the end of the week.

 They've already been confirmed as arriving at some east coast stores already

 I'm very disappointed if this is all that is initially being released though, Just 4 Units on top of the Hero and Walker that comes with Operation Zverograd.  Looks like I will be waiting when they release more units cause Axis and Allies have a huge advantage until they release some of the other Units like the Commissar squad and Heroes for the SSU.  Since all of the SSU units are armour 2 means they would get slaughtered against armour 3 units in Dust Tactics.   Lets hope more units are announced soon…..

The KV-47 boxes at least should be released in this first wave, that's the order in which they were announced.

 looks like there not going to be in the first wave. Maybe they had manufacturing issuses.

 My gut is telling me that these units are perfect for Dust Warfare and I'm guessing they are trying to promote that first with the SSU, cause right now they are worthless in Dust Tactics against the Allies and Axis 

Most likely the DustWarfare book gets released with these units, and Operational Zverograd will be released a week or two later with a few more units, If you have played Warfare you can get away with smaller armies because they have so many add on's in Warfare.

 I wouldn't say they're worthless. For somebody who has little more than the Revised Core Set, this is a pretty good equivalent force.

Well if you only had the Core set then yes it would match just fine for Axis, im not aware of many people who just have that and nothing else.  Even then Lara and the Heavy flak alone would wreck havoc against the SSU units and the helicopter. 

The allies would be worthless cause they have zero anti aircraft in the core set besides the one Victory MG that gets to roll 1 Dice, dont think thats going to get it done 

All well looks like its back to the waiting game for the other units to show up, just such a tease to see some of the SSU but not enough to matter…

The people at The Miniature Market told me the first release is not due till end of May and they could not tell me what it was yet. Im surprised to hear other sources are getting their items sooner but thats a good thing too.

Wow, yeah theyll be way behind.  I've already heard about stores in New Hampshire, Sacramento, and Portland that have them on shelves already.  We're up by Seattle and I think ours hit tomorrow

Well thats good your getting something soon. Thanks for the info.

 I don t understand. FFG indicates that items SSU are "on boat" and not "shipping now" or "in stores now".

I think Miniature market is right. we must wait.

On Ebay you can buy the SSU boxes - they are marked as ready to send :D

We are talking about the SSU units being in shops and at the same time here in Europe getting hold of the Warfare book is almost impossible.
Every retailer I have checked still has it on Advance order.
It would be nice if the release of FFG product could be organised better so that everybody gets the items roughly at the same time.
