Sad news

Dirty fuckers, leaving their staff with just basic redundancy payments and that from us taxpayers and then pocketing all money from customers and letting the credit card companies cover the cost, and we don't know how many suppliers or service companies they stiffed (a common problem in the UK). I bet none of the directors are too much out of pocket.

It's like... total waste. Grew too fast. Gets more expensive. Too much line. Ridiculously-priced 15mm line. A terrain line that doesn't fit even one of their many miniatures game. I've never seen a company with that much game and with that much faction.

Their model was to build a game, then retheme it TWICE, and then do a spinoff game, then do a board game with the latest theme. What they didn't do was support the existing games in meaningful ways

Looks like Wayland Games' Warcradle Studios has picked up the rights to Dystopian Wars, Firestorm Armada, and Uncharted Seas. They'll be doing plastic as well as resin models.
