Perry said on Consimworld today, regarding the reprint of BV:
And has anyone here on Warefare HQ had any experience with using boards like this? How have you found them? Is this a viable solution for ASL to move ahead?
But then Brian went on to raise the possibility of reprinting modules with the new "Columbia style" mapboards which are going to be included in the ASL Starter kit which comes out next month:We can’t afford to re-print Beyond Valor right now. With the cost of mounted mapboards being so high, we are not sure how many people would even be interested in BV at a price which would not lose us money on the transaction.
We continue to explore other avenues for getting the Beyond Valor counters, maps, and scenarios into your hands, either separately or in some combination. However, it may turn out that we just need to save our pennies till we can afford to re-print BV.
We are eager to sell as much ASL to as many people as we can, and we are frustrated by our inability to accommodate you in that regard.
We realize that many players are even more frustrated about this than we are. We apologize for not being able to accommodate you. We hope before too to be able to sell you all the ASL you want. I just don’t know when that will be.
So what do you think? Is this a winner? Considering the new price for mounted mapboards at $12 a board, and the $$ this adds to the cost of modules for attracting new players to our hobby, is this the answer? If Brian can print 8 for the cost of 1, that would bring the price down to around $1.50 a board... or in other terms... $6 for the BV maps, rather than $48, which should make BV quite affordable for the ASL beginner.Why? I can do 8 "columbia style" ASL maps for the cost of 1 mounted mapboard. And they'd probably weigh less too. Many of our reprint issues go away if those maps work, and we decide to use them.
