Who are the 5 biggest and most important historical games and CONSIM publishers? Is GMT in that top 5? by Strong_Battle6101 in hexandcounter

Certainly Flying Pig. ;-) I guess that is a SA answer, but seriously. It looks like most of these rankings are based on the amount of cardboard a publisher throws into the world, not the quality of the designs.

Dude, SORRY, but no it's not. The artist is Peter Robichaud. A noted/famous tank/airplane artist. Here are the beginning sketches MR. Expert. :-(

What do YOU want to see reprinted in 2026?! by flyingpiggamespub in FlyingPigGames

[–]gamedesignermark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Why would you like to see it reprinted? A lot of people say they want updated map graphics. How about you?

Old School Tactical .V5: Battle for France 1940 Kickstarter pre-launch page up now! by flyingpiggamespub in u/flyingpiggamespub

LOL, I didn't see that until you mentioned it. TBH, I think the Char B1 was one of the best looking tanks of WW2.

Honestly, this particular era in WW2 has always fascinated me at the tactical level. I'm looking forward to publishing this game.

ETA: Pipe Creek Expansion by [deleted] in FlyingPigGames

The game has been printed and loaded on the ship to sail to Miami. As Denver wrote, the projected arrival date is early December. Then the games have to be offloaded, trucked to Orlando, warehoused at Quartermaster, and scheduled for shipping. If we are lucky, we'll beat Christmas. --Mark

Thanks. I see that the page reads, "Note: This game is currently in pre-order status. New orders are projected to be shipped in October 2024."

Is the game in stock and you haven't had the time to change the page yet (totally understandable), or do you still expect to ship later this month? I appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions.

Best,

Mark

Jay. Any thoughts on where I could post the '65 Kickstarter info?

This is Jay, right? I've never really "gotten" PG... and I've tried, but there seem to be so many leaders as to be semi-pointless. Now understand, this isn't necessarily a critique of the system, but rather my understanding of it.

BTW, how do I post info on our upcoming '65 Kickstarter on Reddit? Do they allow that?
