Hi Joh, I won't disagree in the slightest, it's just I strongly suspect that the pool of potential DTO designers will be as sparse as the DTO itself, if the number of both scenarios and AAR's are any guide. If there are few players, then designers will be even rarer still. While BFP & MMP would most likely enthusiastically encourage and support any reasonably thought out DTO design, if none turn up, then they have to ponder whether it's worth their time and effort to initiate such themselves, given the ASL world's apparent lack of enthusiasm for DTO.
You are likely right about CH's DTO stuff. I bought their original, ATO derived, DTO series and quite liked their simplified map approach. Both the original AH/MMP and the later CH approach have their pluses and minuses. CH definitely, in its own ... ahem ... idiosyncratic way, scratched some DTO itches.
In the end it comes down to numbers. Whoever publishes must think of those, not only from a financial point of view but also in terms of playings. Even if every copy sold but was rarely played then that would be a bad hit, simply because they are fans of ASL and want to contribute.
For my own part while I would readily snap up a BFP/MMP/LFT/LCP DTO module, I would prefer more F'40 (which could include Belgian and Dutch), Axis Minor, Italian or Finnish stuff.
