[ASLML] AOO Status

[al cann]

Just a question -- and this is not intended as a criticism.

Tate and now Keith seem to think that there are players out there that are
interested solely in playing certain theatres and nationalities.

Granted, I am not that experienced, but I haven't met anyone who fits this
description.

Are there enough a la carte players out there to make this scheme more
profitable to MMP than reprinting BV ... or Paratrooper, Yanks etc. should
they go OoP?
