Revision, re-package, reissue

[Matt W]

I have spent a good deal of time playing original and "improved" scenarios (not always in that order) and can provide some (e.g. Lions/AF/AFD, Tank Battles/Heroes/Red Warriors, PG/EFD, and, of course, Airborne). For reissues I can say without reservation, that the newer products represent substantial improvements over the original scenarios in most cases. There are some reasons to think that something like EFDx will be provided at less thean a full profit margin as an entry point to the system. Kind of a "gateway drug".

With Elsenborn Ridge taking over the role of the Intro game I expect its price will be moderated for quite some time.

As to repackaging to recover price points this certainly could be done but it will drastically effect the "playability" of the scenarios. I don't expect to see anything resembling EFDx in the future and would expect a price increase at some point. The current product releases are all in the 40-50 scenario range for boxed games with 4-8 maps. I expect these will be cornerstone games. Development off of these will probably be along the lines of the expected island war packs building off of Saipan. I also expect we will start seeing those next year as Avalanche will need to pay some attention to its naval series.
