Website Update We are hoping to make major improvements on the website soon. In the meantime we will take a small step: each day one email of interest will be selected and placed in the position formerly occupied by the "Habit of Victory" daily installment, on the main page at http://www.NapoleonGames.com OSG Status We are still on a "shakedown cruise" following the move of our entire inventory from Pennsylvania to Maryland. During this period we have incurred some extraordinary costs, while at the same time our cash flow has been interrupted. We are looking toward releasing OSG games back into distribution, and this will be great once those distributor orders are paid. But the current quarter is going to be a little difficult. A Request If there are some OSG games that you have been thinking of ordering, now would be a *really* good time to get up and do it. You can order securely at our website using Visa or Mastercard, or you can send a check in the mail (see page 5). Free Shipping on Overseas Orders As a part of The Gamers Consortium, OSG games are available through The Gamers Consortium overseas distribution centers. However, we have never publicized this fact. Now, with the change-over to Multi-Man as our warehouse agent (and their higher shipping charges), you can save on shipping by ordering through these centers to purchase your OSG games in the future. SPECIAL OFFER ON OVERSEAS ORDERS For all our overseas customers we are making the following offer: On all orders received by November 29th, 2000 sent to Udo Grebe or Masahiro Yamazaki, OSG WILL PAY FULL SHIPPING ON YOUR ORDER. (See addresses below.) Take advantage of this limited-time offer to fill-out your OSG collection! We received the following communication from Udo Grebe. Udo says OSG games do not sell very well. Let's prove him wrong! From: UGGAMEDSGN@aol.com Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2000 16:33:48 EDT Sorry that the sales were not as good as expected, but I believe that your games do not sell very well. We have Napoleonic customers; for example we sold 100 ++ Aspern-Essling. Your games have been in our usual advertising channel (webpage, newsletters, pricelists, trade shows). In 14 days is the Essen trade show, possibly we can do some sales for you there. We on purpose did not include the latest $ price explosion in your games, though we increased the Gamers prices by 10%.
