[spelk]

Hopefully this will be good news, more wargame developers, with lots of good background and commissioned artworks at their disposal!

Wow. That is huge!

[Martok]

^  Indeed!  There is potentially much awesome-ness in this announcement... 

[SgtRock]

Some one finally figured out that Wargamers buy books about history and war to go along with their war & history based games! ;D

[Gusington]

IMHO they will put together an ancients game first.

I don't see anything in the announcement indicating that this will include pc or electronic games. Seems to only state that they will be publishing miniature, board and card games. Am I missing something? If not, meh.

Interesting. I wonder if they'll go the Command, World at War, etc. magazine route and publish books with games in them.

[Gusington]

Will be interesting to see what exactly they do. Also good to see a new games operation starting instead of an old one folding.

Then they collaborate with Slitherine like in Field of Glory.

moving to board wargaming area, since the announcement info is all about tabletop wargaming :)

Ah yeah, my mistake there, I wrongly assumed they meant a computer wargames division - but sadly it only looks like analogue wargames - which is a shame. I think I was dazzled by the thought of Osprey's digital assets making it into computer based wargames!

Apologies for sticking it in Computer Wargaming section. Thanks to Brant for moving it to its rightful place.

no prob - we can fix it :)
