Foreword

To improve is to change; to he perfect is to change often. — Winston Churchill

A person can learn a thing or two in four years. What is

the proper ratio of pizza to playtesters? How many cases

of books do you really need to haul to a convention? If

you're lucky, you might even learn how to do what you do

a little better, and if you're smart, you do it.

We were hiding a secret, though. WARMACHINE

wasn't a completed game. Just a few weeks after what was

otherwise a very successful convention for a tiny little

startup company, we were tearing down the rules and

building them up all over again. We knew the game could

be better, faster, and stronger. We abandoned action

points, stripped away rules, and refined language until what

finally emerged was the game that would be printed in the

six thousand original WARMACHINE: Prime rulebooks that

shipped in April of 2003.

Nearly four years ago, WARMACHINE released to an

anxiously awaiting group of cutting edge early adopters.

Since then WARMACHINE has garnered several awards,

earned the respect of our peers, and become the cornerstone

for a thriving game company populated by a crew of like-

minded individuals who believe the best way to appreciate

their loyal customers is to create quality products. What

those early adopters might remember—and I'm talking

about the people who found WARMACHINE that

summer of 2002 before Prime, before cards, before

we really had it all nailed down—was that the game of

WARMACHINE was different.

As those books arrived at the homes of our early

adopters, readers quickly saw a drastic difference in how

the game functioned. All of the attractive concepts that

drew them into the game were still present, but the engine

of the game had changed. It was better.

Prime Remix isn't as drastically different as

WARMACHINE: Prime was from the original rules we

distributed at Gen Con in 2002. The Remix is an attempt

to get one step closer to perfection. Our goal has always

been to make the absolute best tabletop miniatures game

possible. The Remix cleans up small rules issues, makes

minor adjustments to game balance, and most importantly,

it puts all of the players of WARMACHINE on the same

footing with a new volume that has been crafted with

the wisdom of four years of experience. In that time we

have had the opportunity to develop several expansions,

observe countless tournaments, and find what works and

what doesn't. This book is the culmination of our analysis

and is meant to improve the overall gaming experience

for WARMACHINE players. It boasts a few new tracks

and some funky new beats, yet it is a sound comfortably

familiar and excitingly fresh all at the same time.

At Gen Con 2002, Privateer Press had a small 10' x

20' booth situated in what one might politely refer to as

B.F.E. W i t h four small green felt demo stations, our tiny

crew demonstrated the hell out of a brand new unreleased

tabletop game about battle wizards and steam-powered

robots. We sold early release miniatures hand-packed

right there at the convention in brown craft paper boxes,

and we took down each customer's name and address so

that we could send them a free rulebook and stat cards

once they were printed six months later. In the meantime,

with each purchase we provided a plastic promotional

ruler printed with 'cheat sheet' information and a folded

photocopied flyer with the original quick start rules of

WARMACHINE.

The funny thing about those original rules and that

ruler is that they bear little resemblance to the game

you have come to know as a veteran player or the one

you are about to experience if you are new to the game.

The fundamental concepts were there—warcasters

commanded warjacks, pouring their focus into them to

make them fight more capably while casting spells and

mixing it up themselves—but the game system ran using

action points, and the language found in those early rules

was far from what we'd call 'bullet proof'. Nonetheless,

WARMACHINE sparked something in the people who

experienced it, and word of this new game spread quickly

through the gaming community at large.

This is not the last stop for WARMACHINE. We will

always continue to move in the direction of perfection,

learn from our experiences, and apply the lessons to the

game. Maybe someday we'll even produce that perfect,

final product, or at least figure out how much pizza you

need to feed a roomful of gamers.
