We're still finding 95% or so of all games requested. We do know that Up Front (& expansion) are out of print for good. Last Hurrah, Circus Maximus, the ASL annuals, Code of Bushido, and Longest Day are all temporarily out of stock everywhere. These will be available again in 1-2 weeks. The scale of demand here is truly incredible. I've had my best month ever in the last 5 *days*, and this month to date I'm at 250% of a really really "good" month. I've received more games in the last week than in the last 3 months, maybe 4, combined. There really is not long term shortage aside from Up Front. New Releases . I've learned that Avalanche's Great War at Sea Volume 2: Northern Waters, which has not been released as yet, will finally ship in about 2 weeks. Copies sold at Origins & thereafter had preliminary rules, so it is just now coming off the presses. Avalanche's other new game, War Plan Orange, will likely be reprinted and available here in 2-4 weeks. Their original print run of 500 was direct sales only, and has sold out. I expect to have Heat of Battle's newest, Fortress Cassino, in 2-3 weeks, too. They elected to sell direct only until they'd recovered their costs, then to open it up.
