JZavoda wrote:Hex & Counter certainly but other types as well. take a look at the current wargame publishers, GMT, Avalanche, Lock'n Load, they all have their P500 lists, pre-order 500 before they produce the game or have it reprinted.

There are two large game stores in my area, one specializing in the pop variety like collectible minis & Warhammer, the other devoted to serious napoleonics. Both seem to have devoted more shelf space in recent years to a profusion of slickly produced wargames. Someone out there has been buying these expensive toys.

Tend to be slightly older before they get married, decent job, very "middle class". Mostly male. New wargames are very expensive, but if they want it, they'll buy it.CCG players - young. Have money for the right cards, but will sleep in a gaming hall to save a bit. Mostly male.Roleplayers - the poorest of the bunch. Tend to do more arty type jobs, and have less money. More women in this group than the others.Cheers,malc
