Have You Seen This Wargame?

OK PSC, Where is Battlegroup?

Or, “Have you seen this wargame?”

Despite the title, this is not meant as an attack on PSC, more of a plaintive “Can we get more for the game system we love?” Almost all the books for the game are out of print, and for a system as both lovingly supported by its rabid fans (of which I am one), and it’s many fine reviews, there is no reason for this game to be allowed to die.

Now comes news that BG will not be at Salute in any form. Now, I’m a Yank, so I have never attended Salute. Guess what, even this guy knows not being at Salute is a BIG deal for a major rules set, especially with the recent release of Spring Awakening.

Now, I am not saying “Let’s march on PSC with pitchforks and torches.” We don’t know the sales numbers, we don’t know a lot of the “inside baseball” (or Cricket for you antipodes) that goes into the decision to continue to support a game, or pull the plug.

I do know this, as a person who was a big fan, and eventually ran the newsletter for the game, I for one would like to see the game back in a big way. I want to see NORTHAG released, we fans have been clamoring for it for a long while, and Warwick and Piers have put from the looks of what we saw in the playtests, a lot of work into the final product.

But it all rests with PSC.

So, humble readers, I am going to circulate this post far and wide. Here’s what we need to do. A simple letter writing campaign. We’re going to be polite. We’re going to be nice. But we’re going to be firm.

First open your email browser, and address an email to the following email address:

info@theplasticsoldiercompany.co.uk

Subject Line: Have you seen this wargame?

Then take a picture of your BG Book Collection and attach it into the email.

Then hit send.

I trust they’ll get the message after a while. And perhaps, we’ll get an explanation. Really, it’s all the fans want. And after the support we’ve given the game, it’s what we deserve. The truth.
