Agreed...not willing to spend that much for a PDF. Really frustrating that they couldn't get the first print run quantity right. Selling out in less than a month suggests a real bungle there.
I recall sending (Postal Order from school boy pocket money) an order for the new Ancient rules
by something called the Wargames Research Group. I got a very nice note back from Bob O'Brien
which explained that the entire run had sold out, & they were urgently getting the printers to do
a second edition. They had thought that if they ordered 500 copies they would each have loads
of copies in their garages for years to come.
It has been said that if you want to hear God laugh, just tell him YOUR plans for the future.
