Re: [DS] "Army" packs?

Actually, Games Workshop has been doing boxed sets of minis for years. 
And it's a good idea. The number one concern of a store stocking a 
miniatures line is "can people walk in, give us money and start playing 
?" Number one, besides normal business considerations of course.But if a

customer walks in wanting to start playing a particular game and she 
can't walk out with enough lead to start playing with - then you lose 
one sale now and more down the line. I used to reorder miniatures twice 
a week at Games of Berkeley just so that situation wouldn't happen.

Boxed sets would be a great way to get GZG back on store shelves in the 
States, and the Commonwealth crowd might go for them too.

hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of
our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are
willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we
intend to win, and the others, too.
