HOB SS Combo Pack - Good, Bad?

[Sgt Rock]

Saw this on the HOB website. Are the scenarios any good? Any with small unit action? Tank on tank? Balanced?

Give me the skinny!

I always find the Desperation Morale site helpful for an overview/review of most products, so providing that link here.

Also, you can see the contents of each pack on the scenario archive to look at OOBs and the maps used to understand what type of action is available. Pack 1 and Pack 2, which make up the combo pack.

Good luck!

Not been available from HoB in a Longgggggg time usually come up on a eBay from time to time like most old stuff it is of its day and scenario styles and play have changed

Both packs are very good, of course the controversy that started a huge flame war on the old ASLML is legendary lol. You can get those packs minus the counters relatively cheap. The ones with counters can get very expensive on the secondary market.

The original 'black ss counters' kerfuffle? If nothing else, it was entertaining to follow

Oh wow... flashback city, dude!

I had to go check on his status. It turns out that after 2 1/2 years of (blessed) site-wide silence, he popped up again last week with a reply in the Pub. He lives!

He lives? Have you considered necromancy?

This was a project of the late Christian Koppmeyer, who started GRENADIER, the first ASL tournament in Germany.

Many years ago I have seen the components and was aware of the basic concept, which was interesting.

Playtesting revealed, though, that the inintal set of rules would need a major rework in order to work in a more balanced way. As far as I know, this major rework did never transpire. I believe that the components and the stuff is currently stored in the hands of @M.Koch which is the current GRENADIER TD. To my knowledge, there are no plans to resume work on the project.

Possibly, @M.Koch knows more details.

I have all the playtest stuff it was a great idea but the playtesting was a nightmare so many variables wish it had come out but I think it will never see the light of day .
