HOB BtB and other things

[SamB]

Steve,

No problem - and no need to rush on my account. I'll be playing ASL all weekend. I had just lost track of the status.

Thanks
Sam

I just wanted you to play BtB!

Steve

Noticed I got demoted from 8-1 to 8-0

 

[Chas Argent]

Don't feel bad, I used to be a 9-2.

And I'm STILL whining about it, apparently :wink:

 

[pryoung]

Yep, those rank rollbacks are tough all around. Nobody salutes anymore anyway.

Keep up the good work Steve, we all still love ya.

At least the cardboard grunts don't try to frag us in light of the demotion!

 

[samtyson]

I'm still trying to make 7-0, usually with high quality posts like this one.

:lol:

 

[Pitman]

Apparently they were brevet ranks.

I do not want to here any complaints due to someone not rallying due to all the demotions!

June 3: 1500 CST

Fellow ASLers,

If the next two hours go well then this will be the LAST BtB update. The boards are to be at my printers house at 1700 today. My sons have a baseball game until 1900. The plan is that my printer guy will drop the boards off at my house. We will then pack and ship.

That means that a majority of orders would be in the mail on Friday. I would assume a 3-5 day transit time to US locations.

Thank you for your understanding and look in the package for our special deal to make up for all of these delays.

Sgt. Steve
Out!

BtB is out the door!

OK guys the wait is over!--well my wait, yours may be that much more difficult...

I dropped of a huge amount of BtBs to the post office. A second group is on its way now. I anticipate that all orders should be filled no later than Monday of next week. I have some business travel to Washington DC from the 8th to the 11th so If you do not get your order by the 11th let me know on my home email.

Thanks for your patients and look for the special offer in your pack.

Whew!

Steve

Steve,
Thanks for not only getting those orders out to the anxious masses,but also I really appreciate your honesty about letting us all know what the delay was;no excuses and no run-around,just plain truth what the holdup is--glad to see HoB is continuing to maintain the high level of customer service that I have enjoyed since the beginning.

Thanks,

MD

Yes, thank you for doing your best !
And I will not look in my letterbox on Monday, as I live in (beautiful but far away) Switzerland!
I nevertheless find amusing BtB will arrive on the 7th of june, as it covers the fights beyond Omaha Beach... 60 years exactly after the events!
Who cannot see the hand of God in this "coincidence" - I am joking, even though I am a believer... :wink: ?

Hi-

Well, on the way out the door to the gym, there it was, packet and all. I'm very impressed by the boards, very nice job.
As for the scenarios, well, will just have to give them a try one day. And I'm sure it will measure up to Critical Hits classic All American series.

Guys,

Great to hear that some of you are receiving this today. It seems that Murphy has removed his fist from our 4th point of contact!

Any detailed analysis of the product, comments, suggestions for the future, etc, etc are very welcome so that we can always improve in order to provide you with the best product and services possible.

I want to extent a big thanks for all the support with this project, and your patience with all production problems we ran into.
Hope to see some scenario AARs soon too

Thanks much,
Chas

It Has Arrived!

Chas,
Just wanted to let you know the long awaited package containing BtB arrived today ! It looks great. I suspect scenario play will start next week in CRAGS, the Charlottesville Region ASL Gamers Society. Thanks for keeping us posted here on the forum as it was a relief to not have to bug you with emails.

 

[Chas Argent]

BtB arrived in Medford, OR today. Overall a very nice-looking product and I am excited to give the scenarios a try. The lamination on the overlays and unmounted maps is very nice, and the mounted boards are very high quality.

My only caveat to this is that the flimsy manilla envelope it was shipped in led to the unmounted maps and the game folder getting the crap beat out of them in the mail. Any kind of cardboard stiffener or even a small box would have prevented this. Hopefully I will be able to flatten out the maps enough to be playable.

Hi-

Chas A. your not the only one, My btb stuff got roughed up in the mail to, infact, I guess some nice postal worker put a rubberband from end to end to keep the contents from falling out.

As I stated before, nice job on the maps but I have no intrest in the Special Forces offer, infact I was kinda dissapointed, I thought HoB was gonna bring back one of their classic HASL's like BRV or Cassino. Instead I get a flyer asking 30 bucks for 6 scenarios, a handful of goofy LRDG vehicles and a page of Chapter H notes.
