If I may respectively offer a few observations, I just don't believe the marketing strategy of BHAH has done the product justice. I'm not a marketing expert, but stay pretty close to the computer gaming community, and note some of the following. 1) I agree with a prior poster that the price point is too high. Even the new $39.99 price is excessive for many gamers, particularly in this economy for an admitted "total conversion" project. Add the fact that many will also have to purchase CFS3 and you are looking at a price more than many full-priced games from huge development houses. We all know this is a niche product and the price point, IMHO, is counter-productive. I'd drop it in half. 2) I don't believe the product has been well publicized in the gaming community. Major web-based computer gaming magazines have no sign of BHAH, even military / simulation-oriented magazines only offering a smattering of OFF reviews. There is not enough print out there on BHAH and there needs to be! 3) It appears certain potential relationships are not being fostered. You have a periodic poster on here, MadMatt, who works for the extremely well thought of Battlefront organization (maker of CMBB, CMBO, CMAK, CMSF, etc.). They also publicize and sell other third party developers' software through digital download (www.battlefront.com). I don't see BHAH on Matrix Games and a prior poster wanted to place BHAH on www.Gogamer.com . That must have fallen through. Some of these should be pursued for possible fruition. Yes, you'll pay a distribution fee, maybe a hefty one, but make the cash killing on a later product and get your outstanding BHAH "out" for the world to see. 4) At this point in time, I'd much rather see sales #'s piling up as opposed to cash $$$ coming in. I did a free major scenario for Neverwinter Nights a handful of years ago (The Graveron Seduction) and didn't get a dime-- but I did see over 30K people download the scenario with the vast majority indicating enjoyment of the product. Even if the "art" you have provided in BHAH doesn't fetch a Van Gogh price, at least obtain the pleasure of seeing your work of art widely circulated. Best regards, LeBlaque

It's as if we all took off from one field... ... and just sorta, kinda landed at another! Nice to see a new home after that last "crash and burn" mess. Regards, LeBlaque
