Don't feel bad, I got literally almost every single rule wrong the first couple times I played. In fact I was so annoyed at the whole situation, that's why I sold off my first set to a guy in the game group. Then Aeryk had to bring it over recently...
Anything specifically giving you trouble?
Any of you who regularly goes to game stores online or offline (which I think it probably just Elzar, maybe Pumpkin?) -- keep an eye out for the Redhorn Gate pack for me. It's the only one I'm having trouble finding -- seems to be out of stock everywhere.
