I do wish there was a more professional outlet, like Beasts of War, that was able to focus on the historical side of the hobby.

There are thousands of historical gamers but no one online portal to attract them like here with scifi and fantasy genres.

Osprey rule release approach seems to be to throw as much at the wall as quick as possible and hope some stick… I’ve bought a few, but only managed to get to play one, the cycle of them is so fast… even the newly set up Facebook groups for the rules seem to die as fast as some of the games.

It’s a tricky route to tread and it’s hard work. Just maintaining a community group takes resources and effort so I can see why some companys cant manage it. I think the work done by BoW helps fill that gap left by companies that cant devote time to community building, though I think these days that is the most important aspect to be developed and cultivated.
