Regarding the Warhammer & Marauder, you can find topics discussing the lawsuit and theories about its impact. No reason to go over that again in yet another thread.
I know they are reprinting some rulebooks but since I do not follow Alpha Strike ask in that forum for perhaps better answers. We have gotten and had another announced, books that will move the universe's story forward. I find that more than acceptable than yet another book recovering material already given- for the CMs, set at the beginning of the Invasion era that will be the 3rd time its been covered. I say this as someone who bought CM Mercs.
