RE: Are we excited?
I submit that is worth making a distinction between the game system itself and APL.
My enthusiasm for the game system as such remains high and I shall continue to enjoy the games I have.
On the other hand, in my opinion, APL as a company delivering a quality product & service has failed. After asking for my Kursk:South Flank order (originally placed in Nov 2010 and not delivered by mid-June 2012 after six weeks of "now shipping") to be cancelled and refunded on 22 June; trying to call APL Customer Service on the 9th of July (only to get a "memory full" reply); writing several more emails having to threaten Action against APL; finally today my refund arrives. Quality control of PG as documented here and elsewhere is not to good standard (off-center counters in PL for example). The list could go on.
So I'll continue to enjoy the game both solo and with my stepson and, hopefully, participate here at PG-HQ, but I can no longer patronize APL. There comes a time when one must vote with one's pocketbook and apply the old Star Trek adage: "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
PS/edit I should have noted that I do not by the above comments intend to denigrate the scenario development efforts, especially of Mike Perryman.
