BFP 3: Blood and Jungle Reprint Interest

[Kijug]

Yes, to answer the original question (I'd purchase a Blood and Jungle reprint).

I won't (can't?) buy Poland in Flames because it requires too much of the previous BFP items and I only have a couple of them. I'd think Into the Rubble would be easy to reprint since it is just scenarios and boards; Blood and Jungle and Crucible of Steel also, but there are more components to those and would be more difficult to reprint.

While I can very, very well understand that and sympathise, I would advise that could be a bit short sighted. Sure you might have a problem playing PiF now, but if you wait for a reprint of B&J, CoS and ItR, PiF could well be out of stock. I assume that given that you are showing an interest in BFP items that you are quite serious about ASL. Think of buying an in print ASL item as like buying stock shares. You won't get much, if any of a return on your shares now, but later you will and most likely at a price less than what it will cost you later.

I have always advised that if one is serious about ASL items to buy when they are in print/stock. Prices will very rarely go down and if after a few years you decide that an item was a bad choice you can sell on evilbay and make a profit.

Dang! When you're right, you're right. I've bought all AH/MMP over the years, but only started into TPPs a few years ago...still trying to "get it all". Humph. Yea, you're probably right. Maybe I'll get PIF for "later". Hmmm... Thanks...I think! =)

The other good news about PiF is that only 10 of the 45 scenarios require a previous BFP module. I updated the PiF web page to show what is needed in more detail.

With 35 scenarios to play, you should be able to stay satisfied for a while.

I just came on here to ask if you ever planned a reprint, due to the guy selling his copy on eBay for $399.95 right now because he needs to "pay medical bills." So, yes, I'd be down for a copy of the reprint.

 

[vetsurg]

Sure, why not? I've been buying more than I will ever play anyway

Pay medical bills? Maybe because the price is mental?!

Yes

We almost pulled the trigger and added the CoS and B&J reprints to the ITR2 production runs to save us a little bit of money, but we were not quite finished with the review/update process to get that done.

We should get these available for order and in production in January.

Woo hoo! ITR2 was/is my first non-MMP purchase, and I feel confident in saying these will be my second and third

 

[james bird]

YES , I will be interested, it will be my second purchase as I'm going t order HG2 first.

 

[clubby]

I just received a shrink copy of B&J on Thursday. Found it for a reasonable price. Not quite as cheap as getting it directly from BFP, but just a few dollars more and not $399 either.

Medical expenses must have jumped up dramatically.

All his auctions are incredible. He's trying to sell still in stock products for triple what you could buy them for.

PiF was my first BFP purchase and I was totally satisfied. I was a little worried that lack of other BFP products would curtail my enjoyment, but not the case. And, to digress, Ceramic City has turned into one of my favorite scenarios.

Yeah, he's obviously targeting people who have more money then sense though, because anyone in the know will realize there is absolutely not enough value in those products to justify paying that much. Heck, there barely was the first time around...

 

[clubby]

Hey, I don't begrudge a guy from selling an OOP item for double what it sold for originally, but to list Operation Cobra or Beyond the Beachhead 2 for $199 seems incredibly dishonest. Is he hoping to trick somebody into thinking that those items are OOP or rare?

 

[FMFCB]

It sad to think a new person would fall for these prices or even that's it's the normal cost to get into this hobby.

Is there still any talk of a reprinting "Blood and Jungle?" I'm new to ASL and hate that I missed out on this.

I'll "+1" Dave's post. I am good for an order.

Still lots of talk, and also some traction on that front. I've just submitted all of the material for a reprint to Chas for a quality review with the group (shouldn't be too bad to do since not much has changed). No definite timeline yet, but I would expect that we would formally submit materials to our printers for a reprint of both Crucible of Steel and Blood & Jungle sometime in the next couple of months.

We won't be calling this a Version 2 since it is basically a straight reprint. I prefer the term Revised Edition. In both cases, the only changes between these Revised Editions and the originals is the inclusion of known errata fixes and some changes to counter mix. For example, we won't be including the B&J counter sheets with CoS. This little change also meant that we had to change up the counter mix on the counter sheets to make sure we had enough terrain counters to meet scenario needs. There will be no new maps or scenarios included.
