It's a pity. I have the HG maps (2 sets) but would buy them in ASLSK style if they came out again. The idea (2 map terrain feature) is good. HG and OtO made HoB the best of TPP ASL at that time, at least in my opinion.
Maybe a larger more cluttered (woods, brush and buildings) pair of half hill maps that mate with the original pair or a saddle back hill (with road running over or cut into the saddle) or really high peak (mountain) that can be placed between the original 2. Just some ideas.
I can understand the reluctance to just simply reissue the same 2 boards, but with the SK style maps being cheaper to do, then a set of 4 to 6 might be a greater incentive for buyers. When HOB III and IV (BtBH 2) was reissued by BFP as BFP C and D they added 2 new boards to the mix.
In the end it comes down to economics, time and designers/developers preferences. I have no idea as to whether the original HG covered their costs (I suspect it did as they produced BtBH (1)). They might prefer to concentrate their efforts on HASL and the like.
Any news or intentions as to the next SF packs as I enjoyed the SF1?
