Finn Project

[Chas]

There are 13-15 scenarios in various states of testing. In total, these are probably around 70% complete.
Also making a little progress on every other aspect on a daily basis.

What does this mean? I am extremely confident of a 2023 release unless something crazy happens.

Chas, the Last Scenario Bender. Or are you really 10 feet tall and blue-skinned?

Made almost all scenario cuts, decisions, etc.

33 Final/Near Final
9 Testing
1 TBD

 

[Chas]

Typed this and realized there is an action I think that I have to include. Finns attacking to take some positions on an island with planes dogfighting overhead. Russian planes initially were strafing attackers then Finn FB came in. So lets go with a round number of 40...maybe

This became one of the scenarios that I cut. Interesting action for sure. Couldn't get as satisfied with it as much as some other actions. But like someone had asked, will look to publish it in the future at some point.

Any Finn DASL scenarios in this pack Chad or do I have to wait for a Recon by Fire to get that Finn DASL fix?

 

[Chas]

No DASL.

 

[Chas]

And yes, the 47* ART is used in some scenarios.

Two more scenarios went Final this week!!!!

 

[Chas]

Specifics
Final: 29
Near Final: 4
Testing: 9
To Be Determined: 1

The 9 are all well along. 3 of them are larger scenarios, but they are in the ballpark and games are ongoing.
The 4 will go Final with 1 or 2 more validating results.
The 1 is a draft concept that would use a new rare Finn counter.

Hm, what might that be. A mono-ski perchance?

It should be the badly needed Aerosan Passenger counter. I'm hoping the Finns have Aerosans in the new module

I'd be interested to see if there really is an action featuring Finnish Aerosans.

We did not find any reason to include one in Hakkaa Päälle! - but then we did not get it all right otherwise either.

I am very much looking forward seeing what Bounding Fire came up - and playing it!

 

[Chas]

Sorry if this disappoints, but no Finnish Aerosans.

Something else of noted interest.
Of the 6 "board equivalents" 2 have zero buildings, 1 has one building.

Clearly you're not working your map elves hard enough. Buildings were always the most tedious to draw when I was doing maps.

 

[Chas]

Well, there are the other three

The disappointment tastes like bile in the back of my throat. I suppose this means no Aerosan passenger counters either. The wait continues.....

 

[JR Brackin]

Never fear - Chas still has some treats for you

 

[Gunner Scott]

Well, I am looking forward to this but hopefully he tones down the multitude of SW's in this module. Boy it is a pain looking for SW's in PiF and B&J.
