Liumas Mon, 24 Mar 2008 01:58:55 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=199#josc1734 ok I am closing this and sending them along... look for answers soon. -M Malloc Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:53:26 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=199#josc1718 Does Valley Games have email software that allows you to send out a mass email to all purchasers of a game? On February 13th, you wrote on BGG: "I don't yet have a date for delivery of the generals, although I can tell you that they are done, packaged, and going to be coming to a front porch near you very soon." Do you just need to buy the stamps? Thanks for your time. skrebs Wed, 19 Mar 2008 10:05:29 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=199#josc1716 I was one of the people who received but was not charged for Container (also received Mordred at the same time) I have remitted since I was notified of the issue :) What happened there? I had pre-ordered several games but this shook my faith a bit. In addition to that I have never received the pre-order bonus containers - which is not a huge deal but just shows a pattern of issues. I have now canceled my pre-orders. I definitely would like to purchase several games (Titan, Big City, Liberte, Extrablatt- probably really being hopeful on this one -) when/if they become available and would really like to support Valley Games. I need to see some forward momentum before I would spend extra and purchase directly from you. Additionally, I have to admit [puts on bullet proof vest] I was one of the folks who snagged Hannibal through Tanga - so paying full price on a game directly through you just does not make sense for me, when I really have to be careful about how much money I am spending on my hobby. By no means do I mean this to be negative, I am simply sharing my experience with Valley Games FWIW. To reiterate, I LOVE your games - I have championed Die Macher on this very site and I want you guys to do to well, I really do, but I simply can not afford to buy directly through you when I see no benefit and have personally had some odd issues come up. So, this is a long way of asking, what can you do to convince someone like me that you guys are back on track? Many thanks for being willing to tackle these issues and I sincerely wish Valley Games the best. vandemonium Tue, 18 Mar 2008 08:27:53 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=199#josc1715 Is there a date for the web store front to be back? C&C:A dice still available? Thanks for bringing these games back from the grave. ironcates Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:45:30 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=199#josc1714 A shelfish question. Will there be an on-line store or something up before Republic of Rome charges pre-orders? My billing information has changed and there seems to be no way (currently) to update it. I'd just like to add my thanks that RoR will be back in print. I've been waiting a lot longer for the reprint of Barbarian, Kingdom, Empire. So no worries :) Walterman Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:11:37 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=199#josc1713 Questions to satisfy my curiosity as much as anything else: 1) Hannibal, Die Macher - and from the initial reports Titan - have had no actual rules changes although the rules have been rewritten. Did you actually ever consider making material changes to the rules of these games? If not, why not? Might you make substantial changes to the rules of future re-release titles that you publish? 2) Given the fairly large number of very good games which are worth of a reprint, how do you go about selecting the ones you're going to try and acquire the rights for? Do you plan on being exclusively a company which re-releases classic titles or are you going to try and pick up some bespoke designs? 3) Is it true you have your games printed in Germany? If so, why can't I get orders direct from there and save me on the exorbitant shipping costs I'd have to pay from the states? I'd pre-order Titan and RoR in a shot if I thought the P&P was from elsewhere in Europe! Thanks for making the effort to try and get these great games back for a new generation of gamers to enjoy!

Juniper Tue, 18 Mar 2008 03:24:42 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=199#josc1710 What is your single biggest success and single biggest regret of the last 15 months? Jur Tue, 18 Mar 2008 02:54:51 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=199#josc1708 OK, I'll take a stab...knowing that some of these questions may very well be confidential and I completely respect Kevin and Valley Games' privacy 1) How many copies of HANNIBAL were preordered, how many were shipped, and how many copies have been sold to distribution? How do these numbers compare to Valley Games' projections? 2) Has the preorder system proven itself through HANNIBAL and other Valley Games titles to be a viable business model for niche reprints? In particular, I'm interested in hearing how essentially getting "early adopters" to provide production capital has panned out. 3) How much is actually in writing in terms of the titles that Valley Games has announced? Are licensing agreements and publication rights secured or are things up in the air or unsubstantiated on anything that is currently available for preorder? 4) Moving forward, has Valley Games taken any steps to redress the widely reported communications difficulties, delays, and failures that many have experienced? Will any such steps be in place before the next Valley Games title is released to the public? 5) Is there a firm release date for TITAN?

Is everything okay at Valley Games? Then the redouble of questions that have been bouncing around the various forums: 2. How is Titan coming along? 3. Republic of Rome? 4. Generals? 5. Who is Kevin's favorite Spice Girl? Ken B.
