Whispers from the East ?

I certainly like the mass of content in F14 and EP (especially F14) and I could see how F14 could be at least 2 games with plenty of content and EP 2 (Tannenburg and 1st Masurian for one and Lodz/2nd Masurian for the other). I think that as long as you put out a game that feels whole and has a mix of campaign scenarios and battle scenarios, we will be happy and buy them. For example a 1918 game could be for the German offensives or even split it into two, with the allied 100 Days Campaign another game or two. Similarly, a game of F14 that was from the Frontiers to the Marne would easily be a "whole" game with tons of content and the Race to the Sea to Ypres easily enough for another--Panzer Campaigns often offer less than that (offhand Smolensk, Kharkov 42, Ryzev, Moscow 41). I think we would rather spend our $50 once every 24 months and have new content than once every 48-60 months. It would be one thing if you chopped the opening months of the 1914 Austrian front into two or three games that might feel thin, but, if you follow your existing pattern, I would guess (and I have no information to base this on), that you would be tempted to put in every major campaign of 1914, when you could likely break it up into the opening months in one game and then the later Fall and winter campaigns and the Serbian campaigns as another.
