Hi Rob,
This is really exciting news! I only hope you follow through on some of the
excellent ideas you mention. Projekt X is one of the best ranges in any period
and for years (!) I've hoped it would continue expanding in figures, background
and rules. The figures are better than any of the ranges that have followed it,
whether they be Monolith's Gotterdammerung, Westwind's Secrets or Darkson's
AE-WWII, which is not to say these other ranges are bad by any means, they just
haven't been as good. :)
I realise you have your own ideas where the range might go (I love the Japanese
idea!), but I personally would like to see some more heroic allied types: Blue
Force characters and maybe even, dare I say it, an Indiana Jones type; for the
bad fellas some more X Soldats would be fun-I love the character of the 10 or 11
we have so far-and a gestapo character. This scale screams for a good gestapo
agent, hopefully in the expected trench coat and glasses...
There is probably nothing more annoying than hearing about every random guy's
ideas for your new range, I just couldn't help myself. Congratulations on your
taking the helm, and please keep us posted! I will definetly be supporting you!
Best wishes,
Daryl
PS I hope you will continue to distribute the line through Brigade Games for us
Yanks. He is one of the best companies on this side of the Atlantic!
