便利なスレッド
Honcho Chas Argentが GamerSquadのフォーラムにとても有益なスレッドを立ててくれました。"MMP Updates"というスレッド。MMP関係者が ASL関連の進行中プロジェクトの進行状況を報告するためのスレッドとして立てたようです。これが頻繁にアップデートされるようだとすばらしい。立てた本人によるアップデートは盛りだくさん。今日はこれでおなかいっぱい。
Valor of the Guards
Brian Youse is laying out the box and maps. The counters are done and waiting to be gang-printed with another run. He expects the box to be done any second so it can be proofed and then go to press.Derek Spurlock is laying out the rules and cleaning them up.
Charlie Kibler has the scenarios laid out and is working on the photos. After that they will go to the proofers.
Blood Reef Tarawa Gamers Guide
Keith will be adding the map art as well as one final article into the guide, which is the last step in layout for him. After that it will go to proofers.
Journal 8
There are two scenarios left to finish. Brian needs to layout out the articles.Expect Journal 8 to go up for preorder soon.
Doomed Battalions Reprint
DB is waiting on the full map sheet run to be completed. Also, the new counter sheet and scenario layouts from The Last Hurrah and the previous Doomed Battalions need to be proofed, especially because we know there were errors in the last batch of DB counters.
Code of Bushido/Gung Ho! Reprint
As of last week, there were only 7 cases (i.e., 42 copies) of Gung Ho! left. Keith is working on laying out the combined reprint and has made good progress on the counter sheets. It will go up for pre-order once the layout has reached an advanced state, most likely some time this fall. Currently the assumption is that the combined pack will also include some out-of-print PTO scenarios, much like the Beyond Valor 3rd Edition did.
Please see the thread I started yesterday on that topic should you have suggestions.
For King and Country Reprint
FKaC is waiting for other projects with counter sheets which need to be run. One problem with the ASL print runs is that the counters use a different stock that most other games so ganging counter sheet print runs together is not as easy. It will go up for preorder when ready but will not have a # it needs to hit to be produced (but those who preorder will still get a 25% price break, obviously)
Out of the Attic #2
Layout of this will begin soon for issue #2.
Action Packs 4 & 5
Play testing continues on the scenarios for both of these products and is progressing quite well. I am about to send a number of the scenarios out to proof readers. The production map art will not be started until the full map sheet set artwork has been proofed, corrected and completed.
Meanwhile, preliminary map design has begun for future AP projects and I have started to look at both the Rare Vehicles project (which would obviously include counters) and a possible Deluxe Action Pack which would include all the original boards (a-h, re-done in the SK-style) as well as some new ones.
