| Yeah, I noticed that too. I wasn't too pleased, but perhaps in the future, they'll be on there (once 4E is a released)
I figure the cards were made 6+ months ago, and the stats may have shifted since then.

| | I think the "advice" printed on the backs of the cards will be helpful for new players to better understand the mechanics. | |

| Maybe they didn't want to give away too much this early?
No idea really. Just a guess. | |

Also a good possibility. I figured it might be a good chance to publicize, but then they would probably have to do it in DuD as well, and that would be just about enough info to figure out the whole game once you have 60+ creature stats.

| why would they publish DoD with stats yet leave the stats off the starter set minis?? Is there something special about them? Hmmm Hmmm...

| | I don't have the link in front of me but one of the WotC guys replied on the gleemax boards. They stated that on the old starter sets, folks were attempting to use the RPG sides of the stat cards to play skirmish with and they want to avoid that confusion with DDM2.0. So, the only stats that they gave were the skirmish ones. | | | |

| The "How to play this Mini" is far more important than rpg stats.
For new players (read kids) who have no idea how to play, rpg is confusing and unnecessary.
These are starter minis, for the skirmish game, nothing else.
If you are missing the RPG stats, go to the WoTC site. You can download them from the same menu as the Desert of Desolation updated skirmish cards.
I'd put the link in but am browsing on a phone.
Last summers Game day mini had 4.0 rpg stats, so I highly doubt there is any hinckey secrecy going on. | |
