I receive many letters that begin, "Dear Mr. Zucker, I own all the games you've ever designed..." Honestly, these games are one of the best kept secrets in plain sight. A select few get it. You are already a part of a world of serious contemplation where, through the study of history, we bring actuality to the past. Many thanks for your support and encouragement through the years. The Pre-Advanced game prototypes are now completed through the preliminary design stage. The decision on whether these games will be published is up to you. Orders continue to trickle in but now is the time to focus on getting some of these on the schedule. Give me your order, please, for any of these titles you want to see in print. By becoming an OSG Sponsor (ordering 10 copies of Bonaparte in Italy) or an OSG Underwriter (20 copies) you will support the publication of the next game in the Campaigns of Napoleon series. Your generosity will be acknowledged in the game rules folder. If you are interested in helping us insure the continuity of the series, please go to Three Ways to Order! 1. by mail to PO Box 50207, Baltimore, MD 21216 2. by fax or phone to 1(610) 935-7622 3. by secured web transaction to Pay by credit card: we will not debit your card until the game you ordered is 30-days from shipping. Pay by check: we will not hold checks, but will deposit them immediately upon receipt. Timing: It has taken some months to accumulate the level of orders we have. None of these games is on our production schedule yet. The pre-advanced offers on each title are still available at 25%-off; as the number of orders for any title approaches 250 we will put the game on our schedule, and the pre-advanced price will expire. Only 250 copies of each title will be sold at this price. The game will go to the printer when the number of orders reaches 250. The special discount prices on pre-pubs will expire on 1 July 99. Titles that don't reach 200 pre-orders by that date will *definitely* be cancelled and we will return check funds received. For those that reach 200, but fewer than 250, the discount will be reduced to 20%. NOW IS THE TIME for you to order Bonaparte in Italy - the title with the most pre-orders so far - or any of the other pre-advanced games. Take action now ...
