	Future of Avalon Hill
		I feared we had seen the end of Avalon Hill and the wonderful games I so enjoyed would be lost to the gaming world forever.
		Then came the news that Hasbro would be re-releasing two Avalon Hill titles under the new Hasbro AH label.

	The Greying of an Avalon Hill Gamer
		On the wargame end, GMT publishes more games in a year than Avalon Hill ever did, and games like Paths of Glory and Europe Engulfed are enjoying surprising success and longevity for their complexity, with Paths of Glory just being reprinted for the third time (let's remember, classic Avalon Hill games were rarely very complicated).
		While the individual US print run numbers don't compare with the glory days of Avalon Hill, remember that AH had a no serious competition in the "games for hobbyists" segment of the market, foreign or domestic, for several decades.
		Settlers of Catan, a ten-year-old game, is still a top-seller (having outsold by several factors any game Avalon Hill ever made) and still enjoys wide critical and popular acclaim.
