It has been posted on the forums more than a few times in the past couple of years, and told to me personally, that many of our customers wished that BFP would release some smaller projects with a lower cost. In response, this is to let you know that you have been heard and that several of these have been in the works for some time and are at various stages of completion.
The purpose of this thread is to see what projects or types of projects would be of the most interest to the majority of players. I won't use a "Poll" so as to avoid any confusion with one of Honza's threads [sorry Jan, had to do it ].
All of these projects will contain 8 - 12 scenarios and 1 - 3 new boards, some with possible small HASL maps as well. Without being too detailed, here are some of the possible projects.
A specific unit history - follows a specific unit through most of their major actions throughout WWII. As an example, one that is ready for final PTing features the 12th SS Panzer Division. Other topics in early development cover the Big Red One US 1st Infantry Division, and the British 7th Armored Division. Other nationalities/units will be considered if this type of project proves popular.
Two PTO projects. One early war featuring the British using one new board, one late war featuring the US Marines using a mini-HASL map.
A late war project taking place in the Netherlands ( no, not another Market-Garden action ) with multiple nationalities involved. Will include three new boards including one featuring large marshes and one featuring a wide canal.
North Africa project, with new boards, and featuring US, British, and ANZAC forces vs Germans, Italians, and possibly a Vichy French scenario as well.. Actions taking place across the whole of North Africa.
A mini-HASL covering the actions in and around the large baseball stadium / Olympic sports complex located in the southern part of Manila. This one is about final BTW. Been in the works for twelve + years.
A selection of scenarios covering the Philippines campaigns of 1941/1942 and 1944/1945, with one or two new boards. This one is also near completion, and has been in development for 12 + years also.
I have no specific preference which gets done first. They will all be top notch and up to BFP's usual standards. These are what are on my "back burner" and before we get all "fired up" I wanted to see what most players wanted placed first in the queue. None of these will see the light of day until 2016 so there is plenty of time to gather a consensus of opinions.
Any specific ideas of smallish projects that you would like to see will be considered as well, so fire away.
