Yeah. Rumor has is that, as a consequence, you're feelin' lucky and have started crossing the (ASL-) streets in a saunter.

This is what started it...

"other games"?? I don't understand the question.

I miss the "Shoot Vinnie" option. (yes, I'm an olde farte)

Happy Thanksgiving! Any idea when this new stuff will hit your website? I've checked several times over the last few weeks, but nothing so far...

Production gridlock, unfortunately.

I can come up with ideas faster than they can get produced.

In addition to countersheet development, I'm awaiting playtesting of the final 4 (of 12) scenarios (multiple designers) for a pack featuring a new board (my design), have two more packs (one designer) waiting for playtesting to start, and I'm gathering info for two more packs of esoteric infantry-intensive scenarios.

Sounds very cool. Looking forward to all of it. Any hints as to what area, time of war, etc?

The first one spans 30 years, one covers a single late-war operation, and the other three fall in the "inter-war" period.

Back from the printer, viewing latest test sheets. Re-stocking won't be happening til the new year.

Meanwhile, I'm keeping myself busy...



Questions or comments welcome.

In an attempt to make the graphics as large as possible, it seems the "border" is rather large. Can you increase by 5% (maybe 8%?) or so and decrease the size of the border?

I doubt it is worth it. When you see the actual counters, the borders do not look nearly as large as they do in the images. I would be surprised if you could increase image size and reliably print and cut with no danger to the information.

Wow, Soapbox Derby cars with guns. COOL! Need an * on the MP. *Only when going downhill. Must be pushed by crew after a coast of 12 MP on flat roads. Crews may TI to push one hex uphill per turn.

The busy-ness continues...

 

[Brad M-V]

Very nice looking counters!

 

[olli]

Nice counters as always Alan, and some of us always want more

Updated, with tentative values...

I was the forumite that started that comment many years ago.

Vinnie is a GREAT Forum member and enjoyed the comments....

Will there ever be a possibility of just having three or four AFV types on one countersheet?

Like I saw on the Prokhorovka preorder thread or Advancing Fire's HASL.

I believe some might like to purchase a bunch of AFVs to replicate the Russian Horde coming across the steppes in August 1943.

If I ever manage to get fully stocked again, I might run a poll to see what kind of interest there would be for a "Hordes-R-Us" series.
