But that is half of my point; Bolognesus has some some sort of bitterness about the fact that Anvil Industries are doing Regiments as well as Afterlife, and more than once has made posts suggesting that Afterlife is the tabletop equivalent of abandonware, which it isn't. Afterlife IS supported. I know this, because I am peripherally involved, and see the handwritten updates that Joel is writing in his master copy of the rules during further playtesting. I've also playtested the vehicle rules with him, and he has told me about future plans. Instead of suggesting that Afterlife is not supported, and damaging its prospects, I'd like to see Bolognesus take a more positive approach and encourage Joel to focus even more on Afterlife. Simple fact is though, that Regiments makes more money for Anvil in the short-term, and whilst Afterlife is the long-term objective, it can only happen if the company is profitable enough to continue and even expand.
