[ASLML] AOO Status

[swfancher at mindspring.com]

Gee Tate, if you can't think outside the box, why on earth should MMP?

Since you obviously missed it, I was not disagreeing with you.  The only thing I said was that what I thought was the biggest obstacle was getting the scenario distributed.  No where did I say it was insurmountable, and in fact
I even suggested a way that they could do it relatively easily.


But, I have to ask (tongue and cheek)...you said:

"BTW, if a guy buys the OWT HASL why should he have to get the Russians (i.e., buy BV) in order to play the Germans vs Brits."

If he's playing OWT with Germans and Brits then I am pretty sure he is going to have a problem.  That is 
"Operation Watchtower" right?  That USMC vs HASL modiule?  Or were you intending to 
suggest that you could play OWT using German and Brit counters if you didn't happen to have the actual 
nationalities?

Really...let me ask you, how have the majority of scenarios been distributed over the last 5 years? Here is one clue...not in modules.

I would suggest distribution via Journals, AP, Scenario Packs, OoTA's, and HASL...oh wait, that is how we do it now?! 

BTW, if a guy buys the OWT HASL why should he have to get the Russians (i.e., buy BV) in order to play the Germans vs Brits.

Uhm, how are they organized now? 

Anyway, the original scenarios from BV, Yanks, etc. could be packaged separately and sold as The BV Scenario Pack...Yanks Scenario Pack...Croix de Guerra(sp?) Scenario Pack...etc.

Or, better yet, these old warhorses could be put up for download just like SoF/HrH scenarios. Most players have these scenarios and enough copies are floating around that it wouldn't be hard for a newbie to get copies without buying a pack. So there wouldn't be a lot of money in them anyway...so do the download thing. Or maybe MMP can sale the downloads by subscription...who knows...

...there are probably a thousand ways to skin this cat...all I am saying is that MMP needs to think outside the box...literally!
