I just don’t think there’s the demand for a historical site these days, just looking at my local shows the only stuff available that’s historical is Bolt Action and other Warlord games. 15mm and 20mm is a no show and the only traders you see that “doggedly” keep gameing going in other scales is Baccus (6mm) and Pendraken (10mm). Going to my local stores its all fantasy and sci-fi (although it’s always been impossible to stock a local shop with historicals as there’s just too many periods and too many scales). I think the problem is that many of the historical companies are one or two person companies and just don’t have the time (or experience) in how to market their stuff online these days or even how to get the word out there. I’d love to see BoW review some of Pete’s (Baccus) rules and do a lets play, perhaps an unboxing of their starter sets and even a guide by John on how to paint 6mm figs (it’s totally different from doing 28mm figures). But has Pete even reached out to BoW for coverage?
