They seemed most reasonable, though I flinched at their hyperbole around 'a revolution in wargaming' as in their original post.Phyllionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451215894349113521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646063079410770256.post-86871696623855476902012-07-14T21:43:31.494+01:002012-07-14T21:43:31.494+01:00I'm saying nothing!

I'm trying to think my way through the various minis of yours I've seen. I'm guessing it will be Pulp or something thereabouts?Samulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583858443749562521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646063079410770256.post-64465442470712646772012-07-14T17:27:15.493+01:002012-07-14T17:27:15.493+01:00I have a FOW army in the building (the armour has ...I have a FOW army in the building (the armour has been languishing at the airbrush for months) and must say I'm not really bothered but this entirely because I have zero intention of ever playing in a tournament. However, I think Tamsin has it when she comments on the way they've handled it, which is extremely poorly. It smacks of 'I'm taking my ball in now'. If I was tournament player I'd be furious, as it is, I'm just a little bemused and have a lower opinion of the company. All too reminiscent of GW's strategies, if they start pricing according to 'gamepower' then they'll have completely lost their way.Samulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583858443749562521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646063079410770256.post-37103563361500950462012-07-14T15:45:12.017+01:002012-07-14T15:45:12.017+01:00Great post Phil - good to see other gamers' ta...Great post Phil - good to see other gamers' take on the two decisions. I can understand the logic of both, even if I do disagree with them.<br /><br />What is telling is the difference in how the companies reacted to the backlash. Slitherine responded in a mature, open and honest manner; Battlefront responded with a mixture of outright, hostility, childishness, bluster and even some outright lies. Guess which company is getting the most bad PR from it?TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646063079410770256.post-29591854603762036082012-07-14T14:39:45.498+01:002012-07-14T14:39:45.498+01:00Incredible feck up by both companies, Battlefront ...Incredible feck up by both companies, Battlefront can afford it but Slitherine can't!The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.com
