And to those who say nobody will be canned, well, you folks know the industry better than I do. Of course, if I were a CFO of a distribution company who witnessed a competitor swoop in and take a slice of my distribution of a hot new product, there would be an internal investigation to make the Salem Witch Trials and the Spanish Inquisition look tame. :wink:

I don't know that I know all that much about the industry. I'm just an interested onlooker, but even never having worked in a game store I've had to deal with trying to get special orders through. And I get to listen to game store gossip...

But I think the real secret is this: if you were the CFO of a gaming distribution company, you'd take one look at the financials and put your own resume on Monster.com :). Half the problem the gaming industry has is too many people who are gamers first, and businessmen second. Of course, that's also half the fun of the industry, so what ya gonna do?
 
Luckily the distributor in Australia saw potential in the game and stocked up. Tin Soldier Sydney is ticking over and being restocked no problems. I just bought another two Challengers for my tank platoon.

aye they even gave the battle store a good lot of stock :D aleast 2 boxes of each infantry and a tank for each faction (barring MEA which had 4 boxes of infantry :D )
 
Newcastle FP and Traveling Man both some of each unit currently available on display (and possibly more in stock).
 
That's it! I'm moving "Down Undah" mates! I'm sick of the cold here anyway! (Grew up in Hawaii). It does seem from the boards here and EvoCommand there is a good Aussie following for this game. This is fantastic! Nice to know there are some folks left in the world with forsight who are willing to take risks!

Now, how can we get a sponsored tourney where all registered site members are flown to Australia for 2 weeks to play? :lol:

PS - Can one of you please go surfing for me? I haven't seen a good wave since 1993!!!
 
im moving to ozz in a few years, oncle i got myself a degree, and look forward to good weather and games.

and with bf-evo being plastic and prepaint i can either sell it and rebuy when i get their, or just stick it in me lugage

IIRC, Bristol Trav MAn sent some of their AT-43 stuff up to Newcastle and got some BF:Evo in return, the lines are selling differently in the different stores.

I bet we have a few queens in Sydney named Larry. Hang on, I just thought of something England can be proud of...they have tournaments at Mongoose! I know I'm jealous of that.

I live in Sydney so most of the beaches are rooted around me. I generally travel up to Chiwie land or down the south coast, but I'm into fishing not surfing. IMO the best beaches in Oz are in Queensland.

i got surfed out for this summer in WA (western aus) 2 whole weeks of running around on the beach or in the bush\desert (yeah... tempeate rainforest then walk only 2km and find yourself stuck in massive sand dunes :shock: )..... :D

yeah agreed that Queensland have the best beaches, where i live is ok (Northern Central Coast and Newcastle on Tuesdays), but WA.... its awful... so many stingers.... gives you motivation to stay on a pontoon while your mates are trying to throw you off :shock: and the amount of stingrays over there is insane, freaked me out that my mate saw one while diving for stuff and then about 20 of the group stepped another it while running along beach...... lucky it was dead... unlucky it stunk.
 
I think you'll find that a lot of places in Aus don't actually have acess to BFEvo unless you're in the major 5 cities (for some weird reason the Australian capital doesn't count as a major city).... As for me, I've been getting my minis on EBay rather than here in Aus quicker delivery and almost guaranteed stock (they're also pretty cheap). It seems that I could have pratially caused the miniature shortage in the US :oops: Sorry guys.
 
Hell, I didn't know you could even access ebay in Canberra. I thought there was one computer down there and everyone took turns. :wink:
