> Dear Jon Tuffley, Avalon > Hill (Panzerblitz, Squad Leader, THE Avalon Hill!) folds, and goes to Well, Noah (and everyone else on the list), I think we're doing OK. We've just signed a five year lease on our new premises, so I hope it'll continue! Don't forget that most of our core market here in the UK is direct sales (mailorder and shows) to a hardcore of serious SF gamers, and provided we can continue to give these people what they want we should be OK. Business has boomed this year, necessitating a move to a MUCH larger workshop (about 4 times the size, actually!) - BTW, the new phone number is 01449 722322, but the mailing address (the PO box) has not changed - but remember that we are still a VERY small business, on a par with many of the UK companies on the wargaming side rather than the big RPG boys. KR at GeoHex will have to be the one to comment on the state of the US market, which is entirely separate, but over here I sincerely hope we're around for a good while yet.... (well, unless WoTC offer me half a million quid of course... GRIN) Apologies to anyone if this is a bit out of date, but I've just got back from UK GenCon (brief report will follow soon) and have just downloaded about 220 list emails from last Wednesday onwards....
