H&S News Update: 3-23-15:
The future of Platoon Leader-
We have good news and bad news. First, the bad. Platoon Leader will be going out of print, at least in its current form. There are five copies each remaining of the base game and both expansions. After those are sold, there will be no more. Our personal goal of reaching triple digits in units sold will be realized with a dozen more sales. This decision has been arrived at primarily do to printing costs. In an effort to keep these things affordable, we have refused to arbitrarily jack the prices up and as a result, have broken even which is good, but not good enough to continue indefinitely in this manner.

Now the good news, Platoon Leader isn't going anywhere. Our intention is to make this game system available via pdf format. What this does is eliminate printing costs, ensures continued availability, and will also guarantee even lower prices. Our dedication and support when it comes to this game system will not decline.
Now then, what's going on at H&S GAMES development wise? Well we have a number of designs on the drawing board. The Vietnam expansion is still intended but it is the D-Day expansion that is a bit more further along. This will also be the first product to debut as a pre-order. Ideas of a Che Guevera driven scenario pack have also been kicked around. This would include among other things the famous battle of Santa Clara in which an armored train was taken out and being outnumbered 10 to 1, column 18 emerged triumphant.
For now, you can still find Platoon Leader products on EBAY, but these will terminate on Tuesday, March 31 or sooner, pending selling out beforehand.
So there is your long winded update and to all you Platoon Leader's out there, keep gaming!
