Small Men
wave two has been released in Europe, and "Minutemen" has been translated in Italian with "Piccoli Uomini" (Small Men).

I haven't get any of the packs yet (I already own complete wave 2 in English), so don't know if there are other translation issues, but this one is sufficient to upset me.

now, do you think that Hasbro could consider allowing me to do Italian translations for the next sets? how can I submit such proposal?

minute, pronounced Min-ut: a unit of time, 60 seconds, etc

minute, pronunced my-nute: small, tiny.

They translated the wrong pronunciation.

K/H_Addict costs too much!
they translated the wrong form of the word. The word they used means Small. The word that was used in th eenglish version is Minutemen, who are civil war soldiers who were ready for battle in minutes.

I don't see what you could lose in emailing Hasbro. I say go for it.

Sorry, K/H, the Minutemen were Revolutionary, not Civil War militia.

Resisting the urge to correct you and also belittle you in a friendly ribbing kind of way....

Good luck, hopefully they can get someone that understands the game and the languages to do it next time.
