What is something that is out of print right now that you want to see back in print?

Let's skip over things languishing on GMT's p500 program that are going to get reprinted and just waiting to go to the press.

Think about some of the great old games that need to get reprinted for a newer generation.

Ambush!

Yep, wholeheartedly +1 this one.

I'd also add:

- Luftwaffe
- Richthofen's War
- Air Assault On Crete

I get the nostalgia for it all, but I'm just not sure this game holds up over the long haul, especially not with LBW's newer games like the Wing Leader series, or Nightfighter.

True. I speak mainly from nostalgia, as it was my first ever wargame purchase.

True but none of those are strategic level bombing campaign board games.

But also, didn't L2 do a remake of Lutfwaffe ....

Edit*** Nope it was Decision Games in 2007.... with square counters....  :P

Add to that Codeword: Cromwell for the same reason.

Oh and AH's Victory in the Pacific.

I don't know about those Discord guys...they said they were sending me a review copy, then it never showed, and I had followed up a few times inquiring as I was truly concerned something got lost en route, but was met with silence in response. Very weird.

I wouldn't mind seeing an updated version of Mosby's Raiders, Carrier, Tokyo Express, and maybe Eastern Front Solitaire, too.
