No love for ToI

Published on 12 November 2009 - 10:13:42

 I am seeing a ton of support of other titles and recent launches.  Certainly I can not be the only one eagerly awaiting the next installment for ToI.  Frankly, I am not sure I really care which way they go first...Pacific or Eastern Front.  Either way, would be nice to see some news on an expansion, or better yet the expansion itself.

Totally agree, come on FFG let us have some info.

Apart from trying to sell us revamped copies of maps we already own, FFG have done nothing to support this game all year.

It's a great shame really as the underlying game system is pretty sound (I enjoy it almost as much as Combat Commander) - a friend and I had a game on Saturday which went down to the last roll of the dice!

FFG's lack of support may be due to economic hard times and because of demographics. So we have to convince them that it is economically worth their while to invest the resources into TOI.

Indeed, I would buy any expansion as well.

This prolonged silence can't mean any good, I'm afraid. I hope I'm wrong.

The least we might expect is an official scenario every now and then.

Look at Days of Wonder ... they always have a christmas scenario for Memoir 44 .

And yes, I would still buy any expansion to this great game system so don't worry, FFG.

It's just way to quiet around our beloved Tide and I couldn't care less about all this RPG stuff...

I'm seriously considering this game, and am a bit confused regarding this thread. The website shows several expansions, yet this thread seems to indicate otherwise. Or are you all talking further expansions, over and above what's available.

 

Thanks.

The basic game has two expansions, namely The Desert Fox and The Normandy Campaign, alonside this they have produced a new map board set and a scenario guide, these can hardly be called expansions in the true sense of the word, more like additions.

 

FFG have been suspiciously quiet over a possible third expansion, neither saying if one was in the making, or if in fact they plan to do another one.

 

As far as I can see the Pacific arena and the Eastern front should be covered, but I expect it is down to economics and if not enough of the two existing expansions were sold????????????

I allways had the feeling that the easter front was in the making, but it has been quit lately...

 

When that is said, this game has a lot of potential, specialy if more good fun balanced scenarios was made. For example, in the normandy expansion an demolision experts was added, but none of the scenarios realy captured the fun of that specialication.  That was a realy nice and fun addition, but in my mind none of the scenarios realy gave this specialication real value? Why cannot demolision experts blow up bridges? If the scenario was specificly design with that in mind, it could be balanced.  So, in my mind the game has a lot of potential and I realy hope that work will continue on this game.

Ok, time to throw my wallet in to let FFG know I will buy any and all expansions for the game.   So fish on the line FFG give me some good news.

I'd be happy if they just gave us a decent senario editor and some new maps from time to time. I don't really want to go thru the hassle of scanning all the boards and overlays so I can make scenarios. But I would buy anything they put out for TOI.

 I like the Tide of Iron system from FFG and was not intending it to sound like they are not supporting the system.  Just that they have a lot of new products expanding other lines and that we have not heard or seen anything on the TOI side of the house.  The game and its two boxed expansions themselves are good.  Additional maps and the scenario guide add to the system as well.  

It should be reasonably safe to say that we are all happy with what we have now, just that we like it so much we want more.  Clearly the sci-fi/fantasy genres are hot items right now and it makes good economic sense for the company to pursue those titles.  However, this is a good expandable title to support as well.  My hope is that the last new release to be announced (same box size as the last two expansions) is in fact the long awaited expansion bringing in the Eastern Front or the Pacific.  We shall see, surely I am not the only one that checks the site frequently to see when they will unveil what it is?

I did not bother with the Normandy Expansion, but, I am waiting anxiously for an Eastern Front Expansion.

I hope they come out with more for this system,as they said they probably would in the base game rules intro.

Disappointment looms, I believe, however.

 I am a noob to this game. Just ordered it and "Days of the Fox" and "Normandy ex's all together. Hope i didn't piss away 130.00 clams. I have a good feeling about this game, just from what i've researched and talked to other people, so i'm optomistic.

  However, hearing everyones disgruntled growls about FFG and the lack of support is something i'm used to. I've been gung-ho into A&A mini's for the past year or so and WOTC have almost dropped that line in support of their more popular games, ie, Magic, D&D and that other crap. But they keep coming out with new sets and i know the big dogs are aware there is still a strong interest in it, so i believe they will keep it going,... for awhile anyway.

  Point is, what little i know about this and FFG, although i've been into WOW for some time, I think they will step up with an Eastern Front EXP, and hopefully some more beyond that. They've got to....I'm just getting my feet wet.

 START THE PURPLE!
