Cautiously optimistic they will make a good stab at improving the K47 offering, wierd world war games always seem to struggle so I think a good refresh of the rules to bring them more inline with the latest BA and a healthy pipeline of miniatures might start getting people interested again.

That being said as mentioned above warlords recent quality and pricing is cause for concern for me, increased costs understood but their pricing is becoming G’Wulla levels of expensive, especially given the quality of some of their kits. Theres been some great new plastics, espcially for bolt action over the last few years and the epic line is fantastic and i think the best sculpted miniatures at that scale but other stuff is just way off, like those new Chinese Korean war minis.

Paying more for good minis im fire with, but a lot of their range is getting old and dated, and their pricing of warlord resin i find unjustified, your better spending the same money and getting high quality well sculped metal minis from somebody else and often for less.

That being said, I hope the game has a long future, its a fun quirky take on WWII wargaming that deserves a place in peoples collection just for bring that bit of whackyness. I might be a bit much to hope for but IF they brought out some plastics, or some well-designed upgrade sprues for their existing range I think there would be a big surge in popularity.
