PG product glut

[Hugmenot]

From my perspective, I now have mixed emotions about having purchased Sword of Israel and I have not even received a shipping notice yet. Maybe I should have saved that money for another PG product (I will definitely get Kursk: Burning Tigers and Conquest of Ethiopia) but I will think long and hard before I decide whether to shell out for the other 2 products. There is always the possibility that 2 new IA games will be printed soon after and if it was not for Matt and PG-HQ, that might have been my main series.

I do agree with you in part Shad; the products will not be well marketed and will compete against each other for consumer dollars. But it is a print on demand model so that should work out for AVP, as long as they do not maintain that pace. I suspect even the most ardent collector will have trouble to purchase everything f there is a new game published every two months.

There may be a strategy behind all these new box games in a short time, I suspect Mike will want to generate interest and build a marketing around the series, not individual games. Having 5 or 6 games covering several theaters and periods will help because the ad campaign is more likely to be relevant to a larger audience.

All speculations on my part, all before coffee.
