Games Workshop cancels all Invasions and store trips to Warhammer World - manrogue - 19-12-2013 Just spotted this and thought was worth sharing- Quote: Games Workshop cancels all Invasions and store trips to Warhammer World Quote:http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=&categoryId=3500001§ion=community&pIndex=0&aId=22200015a&start=1&multiPageMode=true As far as i am aware, no one at the club frequents a GW, so no short term effect. Curious what people think the long term effect could be? Reduced revenue at Warhammer world would be the obvious one. RE: Games Workshop cancels all Invasions and store trips to Warhammer World - Simian - 19-12-2013 what utter nonsense, i always thought they were a good idea. WHW is a proper mecca for geekdom and the trips were a great way to keep younger people interested in the hobby. seems an odd one to get rid of. RE: Games Workshop cancels all Invasions and store trips to Warhammer World - Gareth - 19-12-2013 This Vince is a time I can see any possible explanation for GW making this decision. RE: Games Workshop cancels all Invasions and store trips to Warhammer World - Etched Oracle - 20-12-2013 This is GW tightening their belt. Announcing it so close to Christmas I'm guessing they hope the news will be 'snowed under', pardon the pun. RE: Games Workshop cancels all Invasions and store trips to Warhammer World - Gareth - 20-12-2013 Doesn't cost them anything. Invasions were coach trips, paid for by the attendees.WHW is hardly full most days during the week, and anyway they can draw people into their main store and Bugmans, means that those places can offset overheads that are all ready exist, with purchases. WHW event staff are only going to be paid to do less work, which increases their effective expenditure.
