BOARD 42 OFFICIAL POSITION

Mistakes happen, especially on a complicated print jobs like a board wargame. The wall "shift" on board 42 is a mistake, unfortunately one we have not quite identified how it happened, but a mistake none the less.

So we will not be rushing out a solution, we want to make sure the whole board is correct before reprinting it.

Our intention is this:

a) we will put a downloadable "overlay" up on our website for people who have to deal with the situation immediately. Should be up by/during the weekend;

b) we'll have some printed out overlays on nice paper at WBC if you wish to pick one up. It will not be "sticky paper", so it'll be more like a regular overlay.;

c) we will be reprinting board 42, with the corrected art, during the print run for the map board set. On our end the costs will be significantly reduced by the sheer volume of the print run. The issue becomes distribution...so once that's done

d) we'll be putting board 42 in the next (few?) ASL products to get it out that way. You can turn in your "bad" 42 and get a new one at a convention we're attending (within reason, we're not lugging 42's to Origins 2020).

When mistakes happen we want them fixed. We want happy customers. Within reason, of course.

正式決定はしていないですが、何がしかの方法での対策が講じられるということですね。オーバーレイのダウンロードが手っ取り早いような。すでに自作のオーバーレイが GamerSquadから手に入れられるようですが。これね。でもオーバレイの心配をしないでゲームが出来るように、後日、ジャーナルなり Out of Attic #2なりに、訂正版 Board 42をつけるというのもナイスなアイデアですね。ということは、オプション aと dの併用ということか。

ASL Semi-State Of The Union

Work on VotG continues, counter proofing / fixing nearly done. Scenario layout nearly done. Gotta give the map another look before sending it off for proofing.

We have Derek working on the layouts for The Last Hurrah, so we're moving forward on the DB reprint. Derek is quite motivated, I would think this should happen fairly soon.

We are at the bottom of the barrel for Hollow Legions, finally. That will be put up on P# with the next batch (incl. a lot of IGS, ASL J2 reprint, Kingdom of Heaven at least) and WILL INCLUDE the North Africa materials. Any favorite OOP Annual/Journal Italian scenarios you'd like to see? Let us know...

Work on The BRT Gamers Guide (Keith Dalton's doing the layout) is progressing nicely. Keith hopes to have something to give to proofers in approx 2 weeks if I understood his phone conversation properly.

After Derek is done laying out TLH we'd like to sic him on Out of the Attic #2. So look for a fall P# appearance for that one.

Doomed Battalionsの再販が思ったよりも早くできそうだそうです。まあ、過度の期待をかけずに気長に待つのが吉でしょう。DBがなくても出来ることは山ほどある。VASLなら問題ないし、FtFなら対戦相手が持っているでしょう、きっと。Hollow Legionの新版には砂漠ルールの Chapter Fが付くようです。


追記
"Walking Wall"なる新たなルールが提唱されていました。ここね。
