        Amen, brother, to both your last line of post and your tag line...

        Sometimes I think GW is trying to price itself out of the market. They
may dominate the market in Europe (or so I've heard), but there are a lot
of up-and-coming companies on this side of the drink. Usually a large
company tries to price lower than smaller companies, taking a loss in the
short term, to cause the smaller competitors to fold. I guess they haven't
heard of this strategy.

        Personaly, I feel that GW could make up in volume what they lost in
per-unit if they would lower their prices...

        After all, we still play even considering how buggy and inconsistent most
of their systems are. (Ever tried to read one of their WH:FRPG maps? ALWAYS
at least one error)
