Available separately ???
>print new First Fire counters for optional use that indicate which specific weapon(s) have fired, e.g., First Fire-Inherent, First Fire-MG, First Fire-MA, etc. We hope players will find these useful.

In the meantime, if you lack Italians or you've worn them out there's always a nationality set from the other guys until Hollow Legions is reissued. Italian equipment was poor, but their soldiers proved again and again to be top notch.
IMHO, it is in very poor taste to use a publisher's sub-forum to post a plug for competitor's product.

Italian equipment and leadership was poor. As individual soldiers, sure the Italians were fine, if generally not as well trained as most of their opponents. They didn't appear on the field as individual soldiers, though, they appeared in formations, and as fighting formations they were (usually) outclassed -- and 90% of that was because of execrable training and incompetent leadership. That's what led to mass surrenders in North Africa and the like.

The poor taste is in recommending a Critical Hit product for any purpose. Aside from that, these are ASL forums, and most ASL players consider all ASL products, from any publisher, as a combined whole ... for good or ill. The post you were responding to is hardly worthy of comment in that regard.

It will be some time before it is released - a lot of the different pieces - countersheets, scenarios, etc. - have to be laid out, proofed, etc. again.

Its a trap!

Seriously, on ebay, there seems to be a bit more AoO's going up for auction, basically I think the speculators that have multiple copies are and will be dumping their extra copies on ebay during the rest of the year. Smart move on MMP's part to get put AoO up for pre order and then watch as people with extra copies scramble to start selling them on ebay.

Oh, I thought the way they had been talking it was going to be soon, like late Winter early Spring as it was basically just a reprint.

It is more than just a "reprint" - it will have slightly different counters in it, and more scenarios - the ones from Partisan e.g., those all have to be "created" from scratch, have the various texts, etc. updated to current "standard".

Also, all of the counter sheets have to be re-laid out, since MMP uses a different printer now. All in all, there is quite a bit of work that needs to be done before this is ready to go to the printer. That is my guess anyway.

Any idea what the dependencies are on this, now that the extra scenarios from Partisan etc are included? Or can someone point me to a place where I can look this up myself?

That oddly only says that I need BV. In checking some included scenarios, I also at least need overlays from DB and CdG.
