Warriors of Japan -- WifWendell's Push
My guess is that they have pretty different preferences, and that would make it very tricky to make accurate predictions about game sales. They might be missing good sales by not producing games that are attractive to Europe or Asia saleswise, for example.

That is, 500 American pre-sales should indicate 600 pre-sales worth of interest worldwide. So in theory the need to offer P500 overseas isn't as important as it appears. I don't know if publishers think this way, but they certainly could.
S.
It may gauge demand, but it does not remove the issue of not getting the cash up front from the overseas market. So they've either got to set the unit goal high enough to take that into account or fine tune the prepub price.
As far as overseas buyers having different buying preferences than the US, maybe...but between the relatively low % of total sales it represents and some demand being stifled by import duties/VAT, etc its probably hard to draw a concrete conclusion.

Warriors of Japan will be shipping shortly. None of the others have hit their preorder number, although Last Blitzkrieg is close numbers wise, testing is more or less done, and graphics are done as well. That's probably the next one to get printed I'd guess.
They do have other stuff in the pipeline, namely some ASL stuff, such as reprints of core product and the Korean module is rumored to be going up soon.
The Devil's Cauldron reprint is kind of stalled - I have a feeling they put that one up to appease those that kept clamoring for a reprint to show them , " yeah OK, put your money where your mouth is ". Predictably there aren't enough willing to do that.

"For sure, Jeffrey...but you'll feel right at home on the rest. It is a bit more thoughtful and strategy focused instead of chaos and narrative...it is simpler for sure in mechanics but perhaps more complex in how to play it well.
But the engine is very similar."
Jeffrey mentioned that the names will be harder to pronounce.
