Advances Firm's Expansion Plans One-Year Ahead of Schedule
NEW YORK, NY., Jan. 25 /Critical Hit/ -- Critical Hit, Inc., ("CH") http://www.CriticalHit.com, New York historical simulation game company, today announced that it completed the purchase of Hattingen, Germany-based Moments in History on Friday, January 15, 1999. Critical Hit is a leading publisher of historical simulations and expansion sets for existing wargame systems.
Raymond J. Tapio, President of CH, commented, "This acquisition advances our growth strategy by one year and expands our line into all forms of historical simulations and periods. Our product line now includes award-winning games covering all periods and the inventory of yet to be published games at Moments in History assures a continued flow of new games from the finest designers in the industry. We are also reviewing a large number of new submissions for publication at this time."
"With the completion of this acquisition, Moments in History looks forward to expanding its plans for rolling out many new and exciting products to our world-wide customers within the classic hobby store distribution channel," said Ulrich Blennemann, former President of Moments in History.
Critical Hit, Inc. announced plans to keep Moments in History in the marketplace as a division of CH. Moments in History, founded in 1993, is a two-time Charles S. Roberts Award (CSR) winner, with games "All Quiet On the Western Front" and "Fields of Glory" winning "Best Of" honors in their categories in 1997 and 1998. Other Moments in History games have received nominations and runners up honors. "Ulrich Blennemann is the best game developer in the industry and his involvement in the line makes sense based on our firm's goals to add top talent to our staff," said CH President, Raymond J. Tapio. "Continuing the line as a division of CH dovetails with our plan to support, not absorb, this award-winning game firm with our capital and distribution capabilities, " said Tapio.
"Moments in History makes the best boxed wargames on the market today," said the head buyer for one of the largest distributors of historical simulations during a recent phone interview.
