Doomed Battalions (4th Ed) Preorder from MMP

[VonHutier]

Finally, the one I have waited for a long time. Got all the reprints to replace my original AH sets. This would be the last core module I haven't replaced, yet.

Would they still print Doomed Battalion Rev 4 even if it falls short of the pre-sale number?

 

[fenyan]

Seeing how it's it's currently at 71% of preorders, and a core module, I'd say yes. In any case it looks like it will make the preorder number.

Yes, they’ve said before core modules eventually get printed regardless of pre-order number. They’ve also said pre-order number can effect the order in which things get printed.

So at this point AoO and DB should both get printed regardless of their preorders. DB is showing a lot more preorders so it may get printed first. On the other hand, AoA is a straight reprint with no artwork or proof reading needed, so perhaps it may still get printed before DB.

Depends - some times files need to be updated to a newer version....and there might be errata to incorportate....so there might be some need for proofing, etc.

Getting there:

AoO: 288/700
DB4: 606/850
AP#19: 574/800

then Pete teased us with this...

 

[David Reinking]

I believe Brian Y mentioned that countersheets for DB4 and AoO will likely be printed at the same time.

 

[kynken]

Thanks, guys. It is the last core module that I haven't updated. My copy is defiantly seen better days.

 

[kynken]

It'll get reprinted only it will take a lot longer. MMP will print parts when they can group it with other projects. Like Armies of Oblivion still sitting on Pre order.

Thank you, FMFCB.

 

[Hutch]

We knew it was inevitable and would be printed regardless, but Doomed Battalions 4 has hit it's preorder of 850.

 

[Old Noob]

Now to wait for word that shipping to pre-orders has begun.

 

[ScottRomanowski]

Did I see someone comment that with DB v4, MMP would also reprint AoO even though that hadn't hit it's P#?

 

[Hutch]

There was a comment above that Brian may have stated (hearsay) that the countersheets for AoO would be printed with the ones for DB4.

 

[DVexile]

Quite sometime ago MMP had said that all module reprints would occur without needing to hit their P#. More recently it was mentioned that while that is still true, that the printing/shipping order of reprints might still be influenced by the number of pre-orders (i.e. modules might reprint not necessarily in the order they are put up for pre-order, but rather by which have seen the most pre-orders).

And as Hutch mentions it sounds like they might naturally make some optimizations in combining printing components for more than one module to save on costs.

Would also like to see some of the out of stock map boards thrown in the mix...

 

[FMFCB]

Would anyone know what the scenario update/changes are for DB 4th ed.?
Thanks

I am compiling the updates to be added the MMP PDF file later. When that will be added I don't know. Probably some time after it is published.

 

[FMFCB]

Thanks again for doing this Klas.

Now that Thunder on the Mississippi is shipping to preorders, is it a safe assumption that DB4 will be next?

Inshallah.
