PG product glut

Alan, I agree. Quality will be the killer. I have experienced long pre-order lag times from other publishers as well (GMT, MMP, LnL Games), so I do not hold that as a uniquely APL issue.
Luckily for me, I have had excellent dealings with APL customer service. But from reading this thread, I must be the outlier. For the most part, I rarely if ever, pre-ordered. The exceptions have been Saipan and Sword of Israel. Saipan was on the mark. I don't mind being patient on an order when I am getting constant feedback from Mike on the issues. God knows I have still to play all my other scenarios in the mean time! Sword of Israel has got me waiting more than I would like. I bit the bullet on Saipan, Liberation, and Sword of Israel on pre-order. And maybe But my experience with pre-order with Sword of Israel, as well as how long I have waited from other publishers has me wary of pre-ordering now. I am more willing to pay more money later than front the money, even at 30% off - if it means I am waiting more than 6 months on a game. Having money in my pocket now starts the look better.... buyers remorse sets in the more the $ is tied up in waiting.
