I have not seen a release from them in a while , that's not what bothers me...What bothers me is their lack of focus. I mean they made Germans for 15mm but nothing else, It is a tease...They could be making so much money if they kept expanding that line seeing how their prices are actually reasonable compared to the competition and even quality too. I also wish they'd bring back the liberty league thing that was sweet. Maybe they just got swamped. I don't know I just wish they would start making stuff and focus on a range for a while...your thoughts?

Maybe consider the time and financial investment it takes to make a plastic sprue reality...

Its not cheap.

true... but that's where revenue through focus comes into play...If they keep bouncing around it's gonna be rough

Wargames Facotry is very busy at them moment. They are releasing 5 plastic sets for a new conflict and they are making plastic kits for Dreamforge Games and Wyrd Games.

Most people I know who were interested in the WF Germans wound up going with PSC instead owing to the poor content choices of the WF box. If that's a general trend then it might not have been profitable enough to merit a further box.

I love their cannon box sets, I used them to make all my fantasy cannon. Their british guys I used as conscripts and so forth. I really like that site but each ection has like2-3 boxes to choose from (except ww2). So im hoping to see more too.

Its likley that the Germans box was a way to dip their toe in the 15mm WW2 flames of war market. If from what I have generally heard on the forums is true then germans are one of if not the most popular FOW armies.

Chances are if it didn't sell well they have no intention of commiting funds to more 15mm ww2.

I'd say they're quite busy handling Dreamforge, Wyrd, Kingdom Death, and who knows what else! Expanding a range always depends on how the kits in that range perform - for instance each WSS release was a year apart as they had to justify the capital to make a new kit based on the previous kit's sales. (and actually I believe they also make high grade medical plastics as well as plastics for several other industries, and Wargames Factory is just the toy soldier arm of a much larger company)

I heard good things of the german 15mms a lot of special weapons and what not ...that is what I like about their kits .I bought 28mm soviets a while ago and I thought they were great.

It has plenty of 'specials' which are good, but its desperately lacking in machineguns which were 1-2 per German squad. You only get 2 in the entire 'company' box.

Chances are the 15mm Germans where a test to see how they could do in the 15mm Market. However PSC and Battlefront are simply doing plastics better and WF have probably rather sensibly concluded they couldn’t compete against them.

True, certainly in late war a company boxed set should contain at least 8-10 MG42's. I think the PSC set contains 15. Also the wargames facotry contained a ludicrious amount of snipers, something like 6 per sprue?
