"Games Workshop's new Terms and Conditions Firstly, Games Workshop's new Terms and Conditions, which come into force on the 31st of May 2011.
These, among other things, restrict the sale of language products - i.e., rulebooks and codices that are not in English - and, most crucially of all, restrict the sale of all of their products to the European Union, although there are a couple of countries (such as Norway and Switzerland) that are geographically within Europe but not in the EU that we can still sell to.
The full list of countries that we can sell GW products to is as follows:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom
Obviously this means that all of our faithful Games Workshop customers from the Anglosphere - Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States - as well as those from Brazil, Chile, Peru, Russia, Japan and South Korea (apologies for those countries I have missed out) will now miss out on our superb service and cheap prices, but I'm afraid the terms and conditions of our contract with Games Workshop mean that we have to say goodbye."

This is from Maelstrom Games right? I believe Maelstrom Games has been a long time online source for higher than normal percentage off rates, along with free shipping which made them the one go to place in the UK for gaming needs. The new policy seems to be one that is trying to regulate the discount these online vendors are giving to the end customer. It's amazing to me that GW has such a grip on the TTG industry that they can enforce policy with vendors and cause such an stir. Glad I'm switching to Privateer Press. Go USA!
