Production Outlook Update and Changes
We’ve had a few production issues that have pushed several of the games back by a month or so. Additionally, Halls of Monetuma is being rescheduled for January ’09. Sorry for these delays, guys, but hopefully you’ll still have several really fun games to play before the Holidays. Here’s the latest revised production schedule for now through January.

Price and Component Change on C & C Ancients Expansion #5
We’ve listened to many of you telling us you don’t want to have to pay for mounted boards in C&C Expansion #5: Epic Ancients. So, as of today, we have deleted the two mounted boards from the expansion and reduced the price to $35 Retail /$24 P500.
If you already have an order in place for this product, you don’t need to cancel and re-order. We will be going into the database tonight and updating all existing orders with the new lower price.
If any of you DO want new mounted boards, we will be making those available separately. We have a very small stash of them in the warehouse now and will sell those while they last for $20 (contact the office ladies for availability on these, please). We’ll also be adding the boards P500 item (see below) over the next few days at $20 retail and $14 P500 per board if you want to pre-order additional mounted boards separately.
We hope that this response to your feedback will benefit everyone with lower pricing while leaving you guys the flexibility to buy (or not) only as many mounted boards as you want.
Washington’s War, Nothing Gained But Glory, and Several Reprints Added to the P500 List

Mounted Maps
Based on positive feedback to our mounted mapboard in Successors and recent customer poll responses, we are offering mounted maps for both Here I Stand and Paths of Glory as P500 test items. We are also making mounted maps available separately via P500 for Commands & Colors Ancients. These are regular 22 x 34 inch game maps, but mounted – same quality as Successors. Order totals need to be the same as for a boxed game – when we get in the 750 order range, we will print them.
Mounted Maps For Commands & Colors: Ancients
Please note that as we are adding the new games, we are also telling our system to create auto-orders and send order notification e-mails for all who have one of the new items listed on their Auto Order (by series) forms. If you have any doubts as to whether your order was added automatically to our system (remember, these are simply order additions, not charges), just check your online account (upper right of any website page).
As always, if you change your mind and decide you don’t want an order that is on your online account, you can cancel it easily from within your account. Just go to the bottom of your account page where it lists all your outstanding orders and click “Delete from Order” in the grey “P500 Info” section. You can change desired order quantity in this section as well. If you have any doubts or concerns about anything on your list, feel free to contact the office ladies at the Online Chat button on the top right of any page.
We hope you find something you like in these new P500 additions.
