Apathy of the New Releases (Apr '18)

My selfish rants can end!  It appears whoever was on vacation at Alliance Games Distributors came back and finally updated the website with proper links to the pdf version of the Game Trade Magazines and all the monthly solicitations contained there within.

One minor discovery/disappointment:  The pdf downloads have been moved from gametrademagazine.com to alliance-games.com, hence why I couldn't find them.  The minor inconvenience for me is that alliance-games is blocked by the filter at work, so I can't easily access them during my lunch hour.  Ah, c'est la vie. There are ways around that don't alert me to the IT authorities.  Here's hoping they still upload future pdfs early on this new arrangement, so the May '18 and future solicitations can be posted on the 26th of each month.

Here's all the cool stuff, according to ViscountEric in GTM #218.

Flat Minis sell to a select group of wargamers.  The affordability and quantity could convert some RPGers.  With a proper selection, and constant inventory, I think the imaginary store could benefit from this, or at least do better than break even.
