Thanks for the stats, Lady J! I didn't know that the figures accounted in
that fashion, but that is very interesting.

Seems like Miniatures are the way to go for FASA. But on the bright side,
as long as they are profitable in those areas, then they will still have
money to make Shadowrun, albeit on a slower scale than we'd prefer.

Thanks again, Lady J.

Cheers,
Jon
