Annoying Publishing Habits

[DanVerssen]

Great points about how publishers can make their series products more friendly to players. Thank you!

2 of the 6 scenarios are not playable with the map boards that come with the game.  It's the 8th or 9th in the series, but you need the maps from the 2nd game in the series to play the scenarios.  Again.  WTF?  Worse it's not listed at MMP as out of stock or out of print in fact its not listed at all.  It was in the fine print of the NWS site thankfully.  I'd have been pissed if I ordered the game only to find out 1/3 of the scenarios are not playable.  Seriously this is poor marketing.

It's not limited to MMP.  I've noticed it at other sites too.  Why would they market this way?  Its really a turn off. 

This is something that LNLP has made it a point to change with their relaunch of LNL-Tactical.  All the games are now complete in the box, with no dependencies.
