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!

Ambush!
Yep, wholeheartedly +1 this one.
I'd also add:
- Luftwaffe
- Richthofen's War
- Air Assault On Crete

- Luftwaffe
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
Where there is Discord so I don't have to pony up £200 for a copy!

Thirded!
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'd love to see AH's Flat Top.
There are a ton of these....but not to get greedy... a few immediately off the top of my head.
The Art of Siege: SPI
On to Richmond!: AH - I assume an MMP reprint sometime in the next decade..:(
La Grande Guerre: Azure Wish
I wouldn't mind seeing an updated version of Mosby's Raiders, Carrier, Tokyo Express, and maybe Eastern Front Solitaire, too.

it's
not the one that a lot of people sunk hundreds of dollars into on Kickstarter thinking it was finally getting a re-release

The Wizard's of the Coast / Wargamer version is fine I guess if you are OK with buying the pieces in a bundle and putting them in a baggie for $60. As for me, I would love to see a true, in a box, version of the game...that's all.
...and I'd like to see 1979 Erin Gray in a tight blue spandex suit right here in person, but that's not going to happen either. :)

Don't be so negative! The Japanese are developing robots, there's cloning going on, VR is getting better...
Hmm...fair point! :D

Heh heh..I have copies of all four of these!
Trivia time...Mosby's Raiders, when the heat gets too hot, you are allowed to disband, and fade into the countryside. The term the game uses is "skedaddle."
Skedaddle, the definition? "to flee in a panic." I got quite a laugh when I read this.
Games too many to mention. Source of the Nile would be fun. I have considered developing my own version/variant, using random maps. Wouldn't be difficult to do. Just assign a drm-affected chance for terrain, then roll for actions in the new hex. Can get as elaborate as you want.

Me as well. I was looking at just part of the shelf above my computer...but I have way, way too many piles of them throughout this room.
