RE: This folder is dead because...
I noticed that 'Sword of Israel' was mentioned in the AP daily content yesterday but, because it was not, to my knowledge, made available to retailers and only available direct from AP how can it or 'Modern War' PG get much exposure? Okay, we have the Korean conflict slated next; possibly in three installments and hopefully available to retailers instead of direct only. Maybe I am old-fashioned but I like discovering new games or products by walk-ins to actual shops. I would of never have discovered PG back in 2003 if I hadn't of accidentally stumbled onto a copy of 'Battle of the Bulge' sitting on a shelf back then.
I would like to see a MW (or IA) site like PG HQ if someone had the time to invest in maintaining such a site but really, if only a select, elite few can actually get a hold of the game then how could it thrive or, even more important, can the game remain in print before it reaches AP's "Valhalla"? Hopefully the 'Pusan Perimeter' and the slated Korean conflict will generate more general interest in the series and not just to a select few who only order direct from AP. As an American living in Germany there is no way I am going to pay for the shipping or other costs just to get an exclusive product but I also understand that AP is an American company and will cater to local support and online ordering first. I am thankful that 'Liberation 44' has made it to the retailers here in Germany though so there's hope in getting 4th edition games here eventually as well.
