Just an update, I had sent an email to FFG pointing them towards this thread just asking a few general questions about their opinion on the state of Skirmish and the buy in costs. I didn't expect to get a detailed response, nor am I disappointed, FFG isn't one to tip their hands. I more just wanted to make sure this thread was circulating their office or at least got the attention of one purpose. This was the official response.
