Dry-Humping the Cash Cow

Let's talk DVG. You know them. The ones of Field Commander Rommel, Field Commander Napoleon, Field Commander Alexander, Fleet Commander Nimitz. The ones of Hornet Leader, Corsair Leader, Phantom Leader, U-Boat Leader, Thunderbolt-Apache Leader, Tiger Leader, B-17 Flying Fortress Leader, Sherman Leader, Israeli Air Force Leader, Gato Leader. Them. They also have a card game called Warfighter.

Or rather, they have five.

  • Warfighter: Special Forces

  • Warfighter: WWII

  • Warfighter: WWII Pacific

  • Warfighter: Shadow War

  • Warfighter: Private Military Contractor

(with Fantasy and SF to come.)

And every single one has expansions. And it's getting out of hand.

2014: 3 expansions

2015: 5 expansions

2016: 13 expansions

2019: 55 expansions

Then the current Kickstarter campaign adds yet another 11 expansions.

They churn them out now like a family-sized clone of FFG.

And every single pack's expensive. I think we're at $1 discount through Kickstarter after shipping to Europe. If I'm lucky.

So why do I keep backing? When will it end?

It's not DVG, it's me.
