First to your comments about Gear Kreig: I didn't even know it was out!
None
of the stores that I frequent got it in. I was looking forward to this,
too.
The amount of WWII stuff out there is HUGE in 20mm scale, so their
decision to
go to 10mm (a scale that isn't terribly popular in North America) was
weird. I
suspect that, like you, it killed the game.

Basically, DP9 is one of those companies that created an interesting
game but
are genuinely clueless about marketing. 

I can't say much about RAFM. Every contact I've had with them has bee
great. I
love their Call of Cthulhu figures. I did have a big problem getting
Silent
Death miniatures from them because of a dispute between them and a local
distributor. But Dream Pod 9 is totally clueless. If they show up at
GenCon
this year (they were part of last year's boycott) I'll tell them what I
think
of their game scales...
