OSG Volunteers

In-Store Demos and Store List

by Kevin Zucker

Here is a way you can help OSG to keep the Campaigns of Napoleon series growing. Please take a look at the current list of stores that carry OSG games, on page 2 below, and see if there is a store near you.* We are looking for volunteers willing to spend two hours on a Saturday to do a demonstration of Sun of Austerlitz. If you know the store owner well enough you can contact him or her directly. This requires scheduling the event several weeks in advance, and insuring some publicity in the store and/or on the store's website.

All you have to do is to set-up the situation at the beginning of the campaign and then push the counters through their historical progress, stopping on the way to explain combat, movement, or attrition as these things come up.

This has always been the best way to learn a wargame; better than trying to absorb it all through reading!

Let us know if you would like to participate in this program. Send mail to: We will contact the store in your area.

*Note: You may do a demonstration at a game store not on the list on page 2 if the store owner is interested in handling the game.

Store and Distributor Policy

In order to keep our games before the public at a reasonable price we have ceased selling to discount mail order houses and to domestic distributors, including all the on-line stores that offer deep discounts. At the same time we have dropped about 60 traditional store-fronts from our active list of accounts. These are the stores that have placed no orders or only one in the last two years. We will be focusing on the remaining fifty accounts, and our overseas distributors.

We have taken these steps to make sure that our Pre-Publication (P-250) discount, at 30%, will be the best discount available on OSG products.

OSG OUTLETS, NORTH AMERICA

We have just reduced our active store accounts to stores that have ordered more than once in the last 2 years. This reduction leaves us with stores in 20 states.
