Historical Hell on Wheels question

[Bruce Earls]

Other than the DASL board and scenarios, and assuming I have all the MMP products, what scenarios am I missing if I don't have Hell on Wheels? Also, what scenarios from that product are found in a Heat of Battle product (and especially which ones were updated in one of those)?

Also, has anyone seen a Hell on Wheels for sale lately? I've been watching eBay for several months since I got back into the hobby, and don't recall seeing one lately.

Hell on Wheels is BFP-1 and has scenarios HOW 1-13

HOW 05_ The Narrow Point was reprinted in RbF #4 as RbF48
HOW 06_ From Bad to Wurselen was reprinted in RbF #4 as RbF49
HOW 09_ A Perfect Match was reprinted in RBf #4 as RBF50

Six others were reprinted in Journals 2 & 3. I am unsure if there were changes made to those scenarios in RbF. At first glance the Journal scenarios seem to have some wording clarifications in the Special Rules but the OOB seem to be the same.

I really want to full the hole of that BFP1-13 scenarios in my BFP collection.... there's not a possibility to made scenario with that numeration? (Like hell on wheels 2edition with different 13 scenarios?)

HOW1-13 is the correct, first set of scenarios from Bounding Fire Productions.

Given the fact that the printing rights to some of the scenarios have long belonged to others, a reprint of HoW is not going to happen.

Scenarios NOT reprinted by MMP of HoB;

HOW3 Redlegs as Infantry

HOW4 Inch by Inch

HOW7 Trench Warfare- Played it last fall- good stuff.

I have not seen a HoW in sale for some time...

I got lucky and found a copy, but it didn't have the DASL rubble overlays. Reading the scenarios, it appears that I can just use rubble counters. Is that correct?

 

[Paul M. Weir]

The overlays were effectively just eye candy. Printed, overlay or counter rubble are all the same as far as the rules are concerned. The thing is that with delux hexes a rubble counter seems lost, so overlays are visually more appropriate. Debris overlays (in ItR) are a different matter as there are no debris counters.

I think the deluxe overlays were reprinted in one of the RbF's. I have them and don't have HoW.

Debris overlays (in ItR) are a different matter as there are no debris counters.

KGS has some. And I imagine we'll see more. Too obvious a need.
