Spring Is Here???

Well, it's supposed to be spring -- the calendar says it is, but the snow on the ground tells me otherwise. This is Neal's Sweetie again. I like to keep you guys updated on what's happening at The WarStore.

I am sorting through a HUGE stack of paper from the GW Quartermasters. SIGH!!! Just when I get a handle on things, something else rears it's ugly head -- kind of like those rat swarms that never go away. So we can continue to keep those of you in GW land very happy, we are taking a hard look at our supply sources. After a long hard process, we have come to the sad realization that it will be best for our loving, loyal customers to acquire our GW stock from sources other than GW directly. Please be assured that this decision will NOT affect the price you pay now. What it will allow us to do is to fill your order on a more timely basis, so you can start kicking your opponent off the table with that great looking army that you have been toiling over.

For our WarMachine fans, we are gearing up for the release of Hordes!!!! The March releases are on their way and will be out on the street date. Then we are on to the much anticpated release of Hordes. There has been a lot of interest in this "Feral Twin to WarMachine", so I would encourage you to get your pre-orders in right away. That way we know that you will have what you want when it releases. If you want to start playing now, you can download the PDF Quick Start rules from The WarStore web site. Remember, Neal is inserting a $50 gift certificate to The War Store randomly into one soft cover rule book and one hard cover rule book. That means more stuff to play with.

For our Reaper fans, we are constantly evaluating our stock and lines. If you want to see us add a line, just drop Neal a note. We will do the best we can.

We are looking into expanding into some other areas -- more board games, different lines and some other great surprises. I am even looking into the possibility of having painted miniatures available for those of you that just don't have the time or inclincation to create your own army. Keep those suggestions coming. We take them very seriously and give each one thorough consideration.

The on-line campaign will begin later this summer and Neal tells me the first game will be Flames of War. Dust off the rule books and get ready. We will have more details available as they become firmed up.

One thing that I am working on is an e-mail newsletter for our customers. It will be a way to give you "secret" coupons and deals, keep you up on the latest news at The WarStore, tell you when you might be able to see Neal at the conventions and all kinds of interesting tidbits. If you want to be included, please make sure that we have your current e-mail address. I plan to start doing this after the wedding.

Finally, Neal's and my wedding is June 10. We will then take a vacation to an exotic beach somewhere. Don't worry, Michelle, Don and the rest of the crew will be here to handle your orders just like always. We will be sharing this grand event with our customers -- just watch the blog and the board for further details. Since the wedding is so close, these will be out very very soon.

Happy Gaming!!!
