Has there been an update to the Players Guide since the Jan. 31st version?
Also does this website ever plan to link to the most recent version of the PG, as is accessible from the Units/Documentation section. That would be very helpful.
I've been away from the site for a while and forgot which posting on the Wizkids site linked to the most recent PG, so I had to click on each posting by Norm until I found it. That is a really inefficient way to locate the updated official rules of the game.
I really wish the WK or HCRealms website admins would make the effort to remedy this. It's been long time and these issues have been complained about before. I guess if you ignore a problem long enough, it will go away...

No. No new sets have been released and very, very few things have come up since the last. Expect a new one once BatB hits.

You'd have to talk to the mods about that... we have no control over that aspect. It's been brought up before and honestly I am not sure what is going on with it. For what it is worth, Norm has a link to the latest one in his signature.

I posted about this in the Units section feedback thread a little while ago (and I guess others did too), but I haven't seen a post from andrewtarius for quite some time, he must be busy.

I don't blame HCR much, 'cause it's not the official site (though I agree it'd be really nice to have the most recent PGs available in the Units section).
However, I too am disappointed with the new WizKids site regarding rules documents. They should be easily accessible.
(I should probably send them an e-mail about it, but I'm a lazy Realmser)

In short, the admins are busy doing other stuff...

Apparently... But come on, how hard can it be to update the link to the new version of the PG? The PG is not some insignificant factor involving Heroclix. It is the complete and updated resource for all Heroclix rules and the best reference for rule inquiries. I know everyone is busy, but if you don't have time to update the site, than don't take on the duty of website administrator.
The same goes for the Wizkids website. I'm not asking for anything elaborate or complex. Just a simple link button on the main page that says " Heroclix Players Guide" or Heroclix rules reference". The same link that Norm attached to his post which contains the Jan. 31st PG update. How is it so easy to add the link to a post but completely impossible to add a link to the main page? It has been several months, so it's not like I am making an unreasonable request, that couldn't possibly be granted in such a short amount of time. It's kind of hard to play a game without the rules, and this is a game with extensive and complex rules that have the habit of changing every couple of months or so. I know that other people have asked this same question on this site, so it's not like I am asking for a personal favor.
