It appears those playing it are enjoying it but like you I worry that each year will see a net drop in players. <br /><br />I am enjoying KoW - but have fond memories of 8th . Part of the attraction is the newness and the 20+ armies I can investigate. In that respect I think it is a safer path to travel where you have commercial support. <br /><br />One thing I know, I'm unlikely to invest new time and dollars in GW game systems given what happened to 8th. Yes they look at their bottom line but then so do I in terms of time and emotional resourcePete Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352990006052067650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-69718066233385764002015-12-17T18:43:34.505+13:002015-12-17T18:43:34.505+13:00I admire their dedication and work, but I still re...I admire their dedication and work, but I still refuse to believe it has any long term future. It has no gaming company/miniature company support, so as the old Warhammer figures become obsolete and unattainable it will be down to fully proxied armies with all the issues that will create, and more importantly no new recruitment. 9th Age is Garagehammer for the old guard, period.<br />For me because I'm rebasing for KoW my days of even games of 8th are pretty much over which lessens the attraction to dip a toe into 9th Age, plus their abandonment of just 'fixing' 8th and instead completely rewriting the game and every army book means having to literally learn the game anew. No thanks.Essexkiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714951508534861556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-36638198207536978882015-12-07T14:26:50.189+13:002015-12-07T14:26:50.189+13:00I salute their hard work and huge amount of effort...I salute their hard work and huge amount of effort, but like you, I want to focus on one game at a time. 9th Age might be a possibility in the future, but KoW is the game for now.Tanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111345902716591780noreply@blogger.com
