[Anima Tactics] News et Planning

We have run into some challenges for the French version of the book. We are working through these but they will likely have an impact on our delivery deadline. Translation is ongoing and we are finished with most of it. We are behind schedule but should have all files in a couple weeks. Our main problem however is we've lost distribution in France for our products.
Our French distributor has stopped importing all products, including ours, from the USA. The reason they have done this is that even conoslidating orders from many small US publishers into combined shipments, rising shipping costs has made it not finiancially viable for the distributor to import US products. Even though the games are doing relatively well in France we get caught in the cut. This is devestating to us as we have both Anima and Hell Dorado localized in French.
I spoke to them at GenCon and we are working on the problem and hope to have a solution soon. This obviously creates a huge problem for us on the production and financial end. With potentially just the French Kickstarter backers as customers we can't do a big print run of the French products as we hoped. We are looking into micro printing solutions to fulfill our obligations to our loyal French backers and are still hoping to re-establish distribution in France. Even with this disheartening development we are working hard on finishing the French version of the book and cards. I will keep everyone updated as things develop.
