Also I'm sad to say my prediction from May 10th seems very correct now http://miah000.blogspot.com/2012/05/in-limbo.html

A sad day for the Uchronic Universe.

 Indeed… sad news 

This is very bad, indeed. But one could see it coming. It never sold well, right?

I just SCORED about 13 unit expansions the  other week for under $60 total. I knew then the end was near. 

Ruined my day, that's for sure.

It's really sad, what else could you say. But at least we are getting another two characters to add to our collection. And you have to give FFG a plus because they informed us way ahead instead of just remaining silent or vaguely hinting at new product to come. Still, it's very sad.

Well, sonuvacrap.  Here's hoping that I can get my hands on the two figure expansions I'm missing so far and the two new upcoming ones before this goes out of print. 

If FFG keeps the license I'd still love to see them produce an RPG in the Tannhauser universe. 

I'll take an RPG or a LCG, but I think the TH universe is the problem here, it's pretty obscure and doen't have a personality like Paolo Purente behind it.

But that said as much as I like the TH universe, what I think we all like is the gameplay, the Pathfinding system, and all the customizable character abilities.

So, I think I'd like to see a game set in the Dust Universe using the same game play mechanics as TH, maybe FFG could even make a game that uses all the currently available Dust Tactics figures. Of course the Path circles would need to be bigger as the DT bases are 30mm not 25mm, and they fully obscure the circles on the current maps.

But this all pretty much a mute point as Paolo has full control of Dust, FFG mearly distributes it, the don't have too much control over it, but they could still perhaps license the art ect.

I'd be all over a Dust-based game using the Pathfinder rules.  I'd actually like to see FFG apply the Pathfinder rule set to a lot of their licenses.  I'd love to see them do something with the Star Wars license using the Pathfinder rules even though it would be finacially stupid with the glut of SW minis out there, the Dust universe using Pathfinder would be fun, A Song of Ice and Fire would be a hoot as well and with the different houses it's seemingly tailor made for the Tannhauser rule set, something in the Twilight Imperium universe would also be fun.

It is sad news indeed…I've been playing the game since the wonky first edition.  But thankfully, there's been a host of material, I'm still exploring all the possible combinations with all of the expansions!  I hope the community sticks around, I remember some great conversions and custom units…and I can't see why we wouldn't be able to keep it going with our own material.  Here's to hoping that Tannhauser under FFG is just down, and not out for the count…. 

Maybe its we the fans should ban togather make new material  play test it then turn to the developers and go here now make a Tannhauser Kick starter so yeah it goes down this year but maybe next year we can bring it back to life.  Also kick starter would shine light on to the game. We just need to find out how much money it we would need to make FFG breath new life

So many more map ideas and places Factions like Europe and China what are they doing  so I dont think its an end if  us the fans dont want it to end,.

 I would enthusiastically back a Tannhauser Kickstarter. Boyfriend and I are huge fans; he owns every single expansion and built a custom box to house all of them with the main game. We're waiting for one of our distributors to get us a demo copy so we can start doing regular Tannhauser nights at our store.

wouldnt get anywhere with kickstart, i dont think enough people would back it plus it takes ages to release anything now, we would be waiting years for a minture!…love the game and all but it dont surprise me its gettting stopped.

If FFG has the Tannhauser mechanics, a Dust-version could be done…

There's now 8 axis heroes and 8 allies heroes released… could make a good starter set.

FFG already licensed Dust to do Dust Warfare, they could do it again for Dusthauser.

Few weeks ago Paolo Parente stated on the Dust Tactics Officials Fans Facebook group that there`s no way Dust Studio would pick up TH franchise, as one of the authors of the game back in the days just stole the idea of alternate WWII timeline from Paolo when they were working together for Rackham. It is a personal grudge.
