HOB BtB and other things

[Stevedeth]

Fellow gamers,

BtBs major components are at the printer! Yeah!

Before it is here however, I have a week of travel and will be back on the 17th of Feb.

We are shooting for the last week of February to get this in your hand. I will update you when I return.

BtB Ordering

We are very close to getting BtB out the door. The pre-order period officially ends just before midnight on Thursday, 26 Feb. All preorders must be received by this time. Thanks to all for the overwhelming support of this project. We will keep everyone advised of the printing/shipping status.

Thank you,
Chas Smith

Guys,

I wanted to give you an update on the status of BtB. As you know we strive to get product out the door on time. BtB maps and scenarios are at the printer. The printer had a glitch with the maps that I am trying to resolve now. The next issue is that I have a significant amount of business travel coming up the first and second week of March. I will not be able to and ship until the week of the fifteenth. Note that this is a highly unusual circumstance. I have not had any business travel in over 5 months now two week long trips back to back.

We know you will love the stuff and I will strive to get this to our pre-orders as soon as possible.

Thanks and if you have any questions you can reach me here, on the hob website, direct and we have a customer support folder on consimworld.

Thanks
Steve

Guys

It has been my intention to ship orders that included BtB with BtB. The reason is how we do our shipping. If we split the order then it costs us more. Now I will never let that get in the way of getting you stuff so let me know direct if you were expecting something and did not want to wait for BtB.

Glitches

Steve,
Don't worry about the shipping. Once you get the product, then you get it out the door....

But, you got to send me a BoSox cap signed by Curt from your "Business Trip" (to Florida) I presume.... 'cuz its to early for "Spring Break"....

I hate it when middle aged men try to chase "College Hotties"

Pre-Order time is over!

Just a short update:
The Pre-Order time for BtB is over.
All material is at the printers, first proofs are in, and production is going full steam ahead.
BTW, how do you like the BtB cover? :roll:
Ciao

The only problem with the cover is that it is strangely generic--no numbers, insignias, identifiers, etc.

 

[Gunner Scott]

anime?

Hi-

The cover looks great, very anime like in appearance.

[Klaus Fischer]

Aren't the unit patches on the left-hand side on US uniforms?????

 

[Gunner Scott]

Yup, combat patch's(I have three of them) go on the right.

[Chas Argent]

Looks good, Klaus.

I think the "Battle Pack for Tactical Systems" is kinda weird; can you not legally say "ASL-compatible" or something similar on the cover instead? I'm sure lawyers get involved here somewhere...

Wanted to comment that the new website layout is great! Looking forward to bTb and more from HOB.
