Neal is SWAMPED

This is Neal's Sweetie. He has been so busy with a number of things, so I thought I would write to all of you and let you know what has been happening.

First, I have been keeping him distracted with wedding details. At least that will end June 10, when we get married in Louisville, KY. Don't worry -- The War Store is staying right where it is. You may just get me on the phone when you call, instead of Neal or Michelle. Please be gentle with me -- I'm still learning the gaming world, so I may ask lots of silly questions, so I can give you the right answer.

We have been working like crazy to get a handle on Games Workshop. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, GW used to have Neal on different terms. THEN -- the GW land morphed into the GW monster and all things GW changed. As a result, some invoices got all messed up, which has messed up our shipments from GW. I am now wading through a huge stack of invoices supplied by the quartermasters at GW so I can go through them and try to figure out what is happening in the deep black hole of GW land. The reason that I am doing this is because Neal was ready to close The War Store and go be a beach bum on some island with lots of beautiful ladies. Neal told me that I would get no where with the GW Quartermasters, but the grace of the gaming gods smiled upon me and The War Store and I now have all of the invoices to wade through and make the GW Quartermasters all happy again. It will cost some dough I am sure. However, Neal is all happy again and thinking about expanding.

I have noticed that our paints are running low. I paint Neal's stuff for him. I am currently working on a 1500 point FOW US Army for him. We are getting ready to place a HUGE Vallejo order, so if you need it, let us know as soon as possible.

After the wedding, we are looking at making some changes to The War Store. I think that you will like them. We are talking about adding some gaming nites here at the store. We will have booths at several cons -- Historicon and Fall-In. We are also looking at attending GenCon. The cons will be a new adventure for me. We are also looking at offering some painted figures. I am looking at different services and options to see what is available and will give our customers the best service for the money. We shall see what happens.

And the best for last -- we are going to be doing an online campaign!!!! and Neal says that I will be the general in charge. Is that scarey or what? Seriously, we are looking at doing this in the fall, so get your armies ready and bone up on the rules.

Neal will be back in the saddle soon. Keep letting us know how we can serve you better and what you would like to see.
