*yawn*
The good discussions always happen while I'm asleep... I think you guys are trying to avoid me!
This thread expanded rather naturally from one game's merits to that of the company. And that's because people have something to say on the topic. And
that's why we're here!
The anecdotes about game stores was telling. That's a part of the hobby I've never had a good grasp of. My hometown of Tampa, FL has two "games stores" and they both cater almost entirely to miniatures and table-top card games like Magic. During a quick stop back home in September the closest thing I found to a wargame in the first was Small World (laughs) and in the other Axis & Allies. Thanks but no thanks!
So I cannot appreciate the importance of retailers, having never lived near a real one! But I take your feedback at face value.
The laser cut printing seems like a bottleneck, but I'm still personally skeptical there are more than 500 ready purchasers of a boxed PG game anymore for all the reasons others have mentioned.
Why some of you dislike the Pacific Theater is a mystery to me!
But that only further reduces the pool of potential customers...
