Post by Larac »

It seems everyone does East Front, Bulge, and others. but many Conflicts are left out.

Would like to see more Pacific, Winter War (Finns vs USSR), maybe even jump out of WWII, and do French Indian, or Western.

The game seems able to support a lot from Vikings to Space Monsters, but it would be nice to see other things than the standard fare.

I know the Standard seems to be all that sells, so maybe a 250 or 500 List, where a Conflict is put up for pre order, and when enough folks "Buy" it,
it then becomes a project.

Just looking for a way that we the players can get different stuff and the company can still make enough profit to keep making things.

Its a nice idea but we need to sell a lot more than 250 units to make a game worth while. We need to sell thousands or we lose money and we'd almost certainly never get that many pre-orders. We also have no system to support that at the moment.

We have to be very careful about what periods we cover because we have to sell so many games to break even, that it makes the obscure settings a tough choice as there are not enough people interested in those periods.

That is what I was afraid of, but i find it odd that the Bulge and other areas are not sold out, I know what you say is true just hard to understand.

Well I do not know if you could get the pre-orders or not, for an expansion for BFA it seems would be lees than a whole new game.

But I also know if you do not make money you can not keep making games.

Thanks for the reply, I agree not sure you would get 1000 pre orders, but it still might be worth looking at, down the road for a small x-pac.

If not a full set of campaigns, maybe a small amount of models, and terrain for a mini campaign where others could push out more.

Just thinking in txt really, it is a good game, and a Great Engine.

Thanks for the great game and platform, hope to see some extra models creep in that will help make other times more doable.
