Amsoft 3.5" and 5.25"??

So I was browsing through an old Greek Amstrad mag and I saw this ad:

Were there really such disks marketed by Amsoft? I certainly haven't seen any!

CF is for Compact Floppy Disc (3" only). It looks to be a try to see if people was interested for products not existing.

First time I hear about it!
Maybe they were rebranded OEM disks. They used to sell Micropolis disks and even had similar advertisments, before but also after they became AMSTRAD Hellas.
I grew up in Volos and the local Micropolis store was the place I bought my ZX Spectrum and my 6128 and I'd even bought a few of the Micropolis branded 3" disks, but I don't remember ever seeing  3.5" or 5.25" Amsoft floppies there.

Well yes, this ad also appears in the same issue, actually! But even if rebranded it couldn't be they would've marketed them without amstrad's approval. 

So... Maybe vaporware.

They got Sugar's approval to become AMSTRAD Hellas, exclusive representatives of AMSTRAD in Greece so you never know.
But as I said, never heard or seen Amsoft 3.5 or 5.25 floppies so I think you would probably go for Amsoft and end up with Micropolis.

Did Amsoft produce software only for CPC and PCW, or also for Amstrad PCs?

Or some poor guy/girl without any idea what a 3" disk is was being told "just take this picture and make the same ad, but with the new Amsoft logo"

I think it's just sloppy copywriting a la 80s, nothing else..
