Hatten In Flames available for pre-order

[Brad M-V]

Wouldn't it be nice if MMP put 800 chits in a bucket and picked a few when the pre-order number was reached, then gave those away for free? ;-)

 

[boylermaker]

Well, they give a 25% discount, so that's kinda the same as giving every fourth person a free one . . . if you don't think about it too hard.

 

[Brad M-V]

How about a 20% discount with 40 free giveaways?

Supplemental Map Pack

You are probably right.

Posted before morning coffee....

I think Red October is lagging because everyone's going for the Red Factories combo pack. It's at 1763 orders, and 900 needed. The map pack is not doing so well.

Hatten has hit 488 orders already today!

Supplemental Map Pack

I talked Brian into putting the Supplemental Map Pack up on preorder—the only ASL product not to hit its P#.

If it were close, we could ram it through.

If it were in hailing distance, we could try to spruce it up somehow.

But it’s barely within 200.

Red October doesn’t really have a P#.

 

[hongkongwargamer]

To tell you the truth I didn't read the description nor was I aware of which battle it covers until someone asked whether this is part of NordWind.

Perry Sez : pre-order .. so I ordered.

That's it.

So what's on the two countersheets? Any new goodies?

So what's on the two countersheets? Any new goodies?

Good question. I assume additional squads and tanks to be able to play the CG, but nothing new.

 

[Alan Hume]

very good question, I'd love to know whats coming up on the countersheets

Red October?

Red October doesn't need to hit a preorder number in order to be printed (Red Factories needed to hit its number, and then October gets run, no matter what its number is); i.e., the preorder number for October on the MMP website is purely informational.

Great news for ASL fans. The lastest historical ASL module, Hatten In Flames, has just been made available for pre-order on the Multi-Man Publishing website. You can pre-order here: http://www.multimanpublishing.com/tabid/59/ProductID/359/Default.aspx

Hope BV is back in print by then as it's required, Better get your Yanks now too!

There have been a couple of queries with regards to the historical backdrop to Hatten. Initially, I would direct individuals to the official US military history covering the engagement and the broader Nordwind campaign: “Riviera to the Rhine” - Jeffrey J. Clarke and Robert Ross Smith.

It is a free (20mb) PDF download at:
https://history.army.mil/html/books/007/7-10-1/CMH_Pub_7-10-1.pdf

This history covers General Jacob L. Devers’ United States 6th Army Group landing in August 1944 in Marseilles through to their drive to the Rhine River.

Operation Nordwind, the German counter-offensive in the French province of Alsace, is covered in the following pages: pp492-532. The portion of the battle for the villages of Hatten and Rittershoffen is covered in pp518-520.

A slightly altered version of the Nordwind map from the official history is attached.

It should be, as the counters are at the die-cutter at the moment...

I am about 97 ..

Wow, the average age of an ASLer keeps going up and up ! And here I thought we were the same age. God bless you, old man!

 

[Perry]

So what's on the two countersheets? Any new goodies?

The usual stuff.

American infantry and Shermans.

German infantry and StuGs and HT.

Control markers and foxholes.

Nothing new.

My Uncle was on the defending team, so I'm thrilled to pre-order!
