Flames of War and Non-Battlefront Minis

[Piers]

I can personally confirm that KGN works very well in 15mm. We use the same ground scale and I would argue that it fits even better to 15mm than 20mm. So since BGK is closely related I can see it being a massive competitor to FoW, especially with the PSC tie-in.

Join the heresy!!

BGK will work fine with 15mm, and I think for those that like the look of a 'realistic' ground scale, 15mm use may give them that. Though I dont do realism... Im just in it for the toys!

KGN players will feel very at home with BGK... Though it has its differences and we spent alot of time getting things working how we wanted them to. Starting on Battlegroup Normandy at the moment...

So BGK are new rules, but perhaps best described as 'Son of KGN'.

I wonder who BF see as their main competitors ?

Next time you see Will, ask him about the email he got...

[Parus Ater]

Having seen the Maelstromgate emails I could guess the tone.

[Colonel White]

I take it FOW don't like competition then

Well thats life becasue I think its going to get more severe

Its upto them to improve their stuff .

That's interesting. I wonder what they could do about someone who produces models of non IP , historical equipment.
Oh, yes, I forgot....They make a living from it don't they? That gives them the right to do whatever they want and object to others doing something similar

Who's Will? Maelstromgate was entertaining, and another disaster for BF from a PR point of view.

[Colonel White]

Will is a guy who Piers and myself occasionally have a chat with about things in the hobby .

He owns Plastic Soldier Company and Chiltern Miniatures . He is very proactive and listens to what people want hence the success PSC have been so far .

Ah! Well be sure to tell him that his 15mm Germans were exquisite. I couldn't believe how nicely they fit together.
I'm sure I ordered from Chilter at some point too.

[Piers]

Yes, Will runs PSC... We are doing the shows together - Warwick, Will and me... We are like the Three Stooges.

That should be fun!

Slightly at a tangent but still on topic .

I wonder who BF see as their main competitors ? Is it PSC or is it FIB ? Forged in Battle have a bigger range but according to my local store it is the PSC stuff thats flying off the walls. PSC I think are my local stores best sellers in historicals followed by the Warlord Romans . However I can hardly claim that my local store is representative of the countries buying habits when it comes to wargaming

The "browbeating" (and the term shouldn't be taken entirely seriously, although I do think some of the people involved are a bit heavy handed) that I typically see on the Dakka forums whenever someone shows interest in FoW typically involves pushing them toward PSC. I used to see some Peter Pig, but even that's fallen by the wayside. Other manufacturers never get mentioned at all.
