Simple D&D minis question

[kengar]

Am I correct that the only way to get the rules for the minis game is to buy the hardcover?? I did a quick search of WOTC's site, but didn't see a file for the rules (the connection was wonky though).

If so, that seems pretty cheesy. After all, folks are shelling out for the "collectible" minis. I understand if someone wants to pay for the convienence of the hardbound book, but the rules ought to be available for free as a download, IMO.

THe current rules are in the Starter Pack which has an Aberrations cover (green dragon and frenzied berzerker). Released Oct. 04.

The Miniature Handbook does not contain the most current rules.

That's the rulebook as it's in the aberrations starter sets

The Miniatures Handbook is not the rulebook. It expands the rules (with new scenarios, rules for a campaign), introduces Mass Combat Rules, and has D&D RPG material as well.
