Anyone Heard from HOB Recently?

[Steven Linton]

I posted an order for The Long March back in early November 2010, but I've heard nothing since, despite emails et al to Steve.

Anyone heard from them recently?

 

[Arlecchino]

There's still someone that think they're alive?

Always order HOB product from a reseller like Noble Knight Games or The Gamers Armory. HOB makes products of exceptional quality & I am all for supporting small businesses but HOB has a track record for being poor at order fulfillment. Look through their thread over at Consim World and you'll see more posts like this one.

I thought HOB went defunct and what was left rolled into BFP, no?

No, BFP was doing development for HOB, but they parted ways and BFP is doing their own thing now. HOB still (ostensibly) exists. AFAIK, The Long March is the only thing they've put out since BFP split off.

Oh, I thought some of HOB left and went to BFP or somehting like that. HOB has been so quiet in the last 2 years or so. In contrast BFP has been prolific.

Hey Don,
BFP bought the rights to a bunch of HOB stuff (OtO, RBF4, HG, BtB, etc) we have started to improve and re-relesase those we've acquired. That's how we are releasing OtO in our East Front pack coming up as well as releasing the rare vehicle stuff from RBF4.

Rick,

Thanks I knew there was some type of reason. The rare vehicle stuff sounds interesting. I did not get any of the RBF, so that would be cool to have released.

Only RBF 4 has any counters.
It is still possible to get the 4 issues.

the ONLY thing I'm missing is HoW and RbF1

HoW was from the original incarnation of BFP (BFP issue 1). The current BFP's Operation Cobra was #2 and the scenarios continued the numbering sequence.
Evilbay would be the only place to find BFP 1 (HoW) and only if you are lucky.

About half of the HoW scenario use DLX map boards. ( It came with an unmounted DLX map
BF1 and Rubble overlays for DLX size hexes.) Most of the other scenaios were reprinted in the ASL Journals 2 and 3.

Should'a known THAT was coming

Chas has stated that the rights to HoW is owned by MMP. They have printed some of the scenario previously.

Thanks Paul.

What approx is 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 pounds in US currency?

A GBP is worth 1.6111 USD this morning.

Doesn't everybody have this bookmarked? Oh, that's an ex-pat thing?

Thanks Spencer. After the map pack, J9, AP7, SKE this may be a bit much for me now, perhaps when taxes are filed but thanks none-the-less.

No problem, Don.

Gamer's Armory still has 3&4... I know Alex had 2-4 fairly recently. 1 is the only one that's really a challenge. I can't quite justify SCG's price, either, though.
