I know one other guy who had the same situation. He emailed BF about it and he got a new one delivered to his house.My mini-rulebook started falling to pieces the day I got it.
Anyway, if it is a matter of getting hold of the rules, BF offers dossiers and references for free online. There is no need to buy additional rulebooks to reference rules, etc. Also each book doesn't offer any penultimate list. List offered via pdfs are often very competitive. Actually some of the most competitive lists are available online for free (Soviet Foward Detachment, 11th Armored lists, 2nd infantry division, etc.). Moreover, the books are not particularly high priced. I think the GW books are over $30 and the rulebooks are between $50 and $100.
