From your recent press announcements it seems that you are concentrating a lot of effort into the handheld market away from the PC. In addition, the PC beta of GBofMA shows that the PC development seems to have taken second stage by the introduction of the simplistic square-based movment rather than the free-flowing format of LA/CoM.

You know your marketing world better than I but I believe you have missed a great opportunity by not further developing LA. I think that it could have been expanded in a similar way to the Field Of glory gaming system: a base product to allow wargames to create their own scenarios with a list of generic units plus software add-ons e.g. Legion Area Companion Storm of Arrows, which would have all the units, graphics, special rules etc to recreate battles for that specific era. From the amount of FoG forum traffic that has been generated there seems to be a large and active wargaming community that you have attracted: I am sure that the ability to recreate the same historic and fictitious battle on the PC and tabletop would be a seller.

Of course there is also another question - are there any plans to bring Field Of Glory to the PC? Along the lines of DBA Online (DBAOL.com) but with the added bonus of an AI opponent.

There will be a PC sku of every game we do as well as what's mentioned here, but the press are not interseted in PC so it doesn't get broadcast. We will be supporting PC gaming very strongly. We even have some PC only releases planned but these are not of interest to the press so are not listed on the Line up for 2009.

We dont have any plans to make a FoG game at the moment, but that's not to say we wont in the future.

Please remember the GBotMA beta cannot be discussed at all outside of the GBotMA beta forum.
