Doomed Battalions (4th Ed) Preorder from MMP

[FMFCB]

Inshallah.

What does this mean?

 

[Zakopious]

What does this mean?

if Allah wills : God willing

 

[Jeffrey D Myers]

if Allah wills : God willing

In Spanish, it is ojala', which now means "hopefully".

 

[ScottRomanowski]

One friend once jokingly told me

"inshallah" is like "mañana" but without the urgency.

 

[DVexile]

What does this mean?

Culturally in some contexts it can be a polite way to avoid saying “no”. This came up a lot in Iraq in interactions with western forces:

Will you be at our meeting tomorrow?

Inshallah.

Person does not appear and later gives an excuse for something apparently out of their control - God did not will it.

Like many phrases in various languages and cultures it can be interpreted multiple ways and has in some ways evolved to the point of being turned on its head.

A decent summary:

ASAP.

Quite often it was "after tomorrow, insh'Allah..." ;-)

 

[Old Noob]

Manana, senor.

My Doomed Battalions order is now processing! Order #41! An early Christmas gift!

 

[Old Noob]

Thanks for the update. Now I have something to look forward to doing this fall.

 

[clubby]

Paid and processing

I remember back in 1998 when Avalon Hill was closing its doors and Doomed Battalions was barely making it way from the printers onto game store shelves. Holding its thin but heavy shrinkwrapped box in my hands, I wondered about the future of ASL, as I had collected some modules with the plan of playing it someday. It would be seven years later before I would play my first game of ASL. Now can play the game somewhat decently and we're looking forward to a nice 4th Edition!

After this, AoO, is the last Core I need to update to the larger font counters.

Doomed Battalions IS my final upgrade for the new counters. Really looking forward to receiving it.

Me too...

I need the box. I snagged a ziplock version during a MMP flash sale in '19.

Some people don't want the box. Maybe you can ask around here if they can give it to you.

Someone gave me an AH box. I want a nice shiny MMP one. I'm also building a second set too. I'm skipping the Fins and Italians for that. On the fence about the Japanese.
