This Week at ADB, Inc., 29 April - 5 May 2012
Steve Cole reports:
This was the week we finished and shipped Star Fleet Marines: Assault, Nova Starmada, T2012, and Romulans PD20M. As this was the first new product release of the year, the wholesalers all did restocks which meant huge shipments going out the door. The weather this week was quite warm, reach 90F most afternoons. The spam storm mostly remained at something over 200 per day. We are all looking forward to unveiling Secret Project T next week and to Jean's visit on 20 May. Jay W's attempt to find us a joint venture partner for his train game finally came to naught and we're going to put that on Kickstarter this fall. We received our new Kyocera 9540 printer (Ziva, which replaced Samantha).
New on e23 this week was Star Fleet Times #16-#20.
Steve Cole worked on the final parts of Marines, the Marines FLAP list, the Mongoose ACTASF errata (finally fixing the Klingon C8 phasers), finished Communique #77, reorganized the new ship requests for Federation Commander, some work on Secret Project T, and did a blog about Marines. Stephen and Leanna continued to celebrate the 35th anniversary of their whirlwind courtship including the first time she cooked dinner for him (pork chops, which she cooked again to celebrate). Stephen's injuries continue to heal. His ribs are only sore and while his left arm cannot carry or pull any weight it does function well enough to drive. A full recovery is expected. Stephen's weekly hour-long phone chat with Matthew covering errata, stock shipments, MegaKlingons (e.g., D17), and quality control.
Steven Petrick worked on Marines, the Victory article for Captain's Log #45 and the R2 update. Steven discussed with SVC a new on-line tournament for stock war cruisers and SVC discussed with him which ISC ship to use to fill the point gap in Federation Commander.
Leanna kept orders and accounting up to date and did all of the quarterly reports, despite handling the massive orders.
Mike kept orders going out, rebuilt the inventory, and managed customer service.
Joel did website updates, chased pirates, and helped Mike. Joel graduates next week and has taken some time to look for a real job but may have to settle for two or three part time jobs due to the bad economy.
Jean managed our page on Facebook (which is up to 1,182 friends), proofread Marines, geared up for Kickstarter, packed for her trip, and did some marketing.
