Madaxeman takes the Han Chinese to Limerick (ADLG reports)

Certainly did on the comp scene, although there's still some die hards playing DBSomething they do seem to be fading away over time!

[Leman]

Still don't appeal with that dreaded word 'competition' attached to them.

I'm infused about competition play, but they're s very enjoyable game with very few awkward bits!

Erm... one of your two favourite rulesets (Tts) has a "World Championships" competition each year organised by the author himself ... 

[Leman]

Maybe, but you won't see me there. To misquote James Tiberius Kirk - Competitions, where's the fun in that!

I am only guessing, but when something like Hail Caesar / BP is produced, for scale of economies, I would have thought that a print run of say 20,000 with sales spread over 5 years would not be beyond reasonable limits. Hail Caesar was included in their basic Roman / Celt starter package for a few years, which must have helped volume sales.

Though what is actually bought the msot and what is actually played the most may of course be two separate things.

[toxicpixie]

Very true Norm, I have a loft full of exciting shiny rules 99% don't see table!

[Leman]

Own and still not played Hail Caesar and Pike and Shotte, although Black Powder has seen a number of outings, most notably 28mm Carlist Wars, AWI and Crimea and 15mm ACW. I actually quite like the Glory Hallelujah supplement for use with smallish regimental level scenarios as it is considerably less faffy  than RF&F.
