First, off, let me thank you for the resounding success of my first year in publishing. Montcalm & Wolfe has exceeded all my estimates as far as numbers sold (heading over the 400 mark as we speak) while Race for Space is nearing the 200 mark with Game Auction close behind. I hope that this trend will hold for the future. Basically, as a playtester of one of my games pointed out this is a vanity press job since there is absolutely no money in producing wargames. While there is enough to cover my costs and a little more, if I took into count time spent, it would come out to pennies a day. Not the stuff of which financial empires were made. But it does allow me the opportunity to go my own way, and produce games that come Out as close to the way I want them as I can possibly get them. Certainly, a lot closer than I have had in my work for some of the game companies. It also allows me to pursue games on topics that I want to see out there, not on what someone terms salable. Having heard me rant for a little there, let me move on to what is coming next. More Updates
