Answers.Text: @JoeWreschnig You should post that cache site as an answer.  You can still download all of the rules and starter sets.  It's a shame that the units catalog is broken though.

Answers.Text: I did notice that the "Print all" option for the Wild pods seems to replace the last two (Vampire Bat and Wasp) with the last page from the Robo pods - did you see that?

Answers.Text: Yes.  If you click the advanced rules tab, click on the Units Catalog tab, and then select the pod and click on one of the units of the pod, it will print correctly.

Answers.Text: @JoeWreschnig For me the last page was replaced by the Aero Pod's last page (which was the first unit I had clicked on).  I figured if I could reset the page somehow I could click on the unit I was trying to print and get it to work.
