It\'s corporate GW and nothing else.They stopped being a hobby a long tome ago and that\'s obvious in both the degragation in customer service,inflated prices and treatment of their staff.They are a prime example of what not to become as a wargaming and hobby retailer.It\'s very sad,because Rob did a good job with minimal support from GW and managed to turn it into probably the most popular system for historical wargaming in 25/28mm.A real nice way to repay loyalty.All my best goes to Rob,a real nice guy and devoted manager.I hope he finds success in the future.
As far WAB going away,I doubt that.Although WAB was run and pushed by Rob,it is the baby of Mr. Priestly and he still has alot of influence.It\'s rumored Forgeworld will take it over,but the question is in what fashion.My guess would be more fat and less meat(ie.more pics and less narrative) and in a quicker rate,but less thought and play testing put into it.Therefore a more inferior product.As we know GW does care about the overall content quality,and it\'s only the sales that matter.I hope I\'m wrong and WAB is handled with care and production is to a high standard,but I have my doubts.We shall see.
