Were any of the old Italian scenarios updated for the rerelease of Hollow Legions? Is there a list somewhere of what changes were made? I looked on the MMP website but found nothing there.
Thanks

AP25 The Last Day Of The Cuneense (282): Exchange the 8-1 leader with a 7-0 leader in the Russian Turn 3 reinforcements. Add one 4-4-7 squad to the Italian OB. (The Italian BI BPV number changes from [112] to [120].)Does anyone know if there was any update on AP25 - The Last Day of the Cuneense?
Currently there are so many scenarios to choose from that scenarios are seldom played twice by the same player having the same side. I believe it is quite unlikely that many players will play a scenario a second or third time, barring playing it in a tournament, or if asked to do so will approach the suggestion with a degree of reticence. If a scenario is not grokked initially it is usually shuffled off to the dustbin of previously played scenarios and the lessons learned for particular to that scenario are rapidly relegated to foggy memory.
I love to replay stuff. There's so many different approaches to try. And the dice keep it variable. The Liberators is at the top of my replay list.Gotta disagree with you on that one, if a scenario is very kool and interesting, I will try it again.
One of my favourites of all.The Liberators is at the top of my replay list.
I'm thinking however if a scenario appeals to one initially it's one that comes out fairly close. If one needs to replay a scenario several times to be able to grok the designer's intricacies of how to win with a particular side I don't believe it'll get a lot of replays as first impressions may lead to the conclusion that it is quite unbalanced one way or another. Face it, if you have a feeling you don't have quite a decent chance at coming out on top, even though you may eventually lose, it leaves one with a little bit of a bitter taste in one's mouth. Now I know some people play a scenario to figure out how is the best "must play it this way" parameters put in by a designer in order to win but I don't feel most players are into that type of play for our board game (computer games---meh). YMMV.Gotta disagree with you on that one, if a scenario is very kool and interesting, I will try it again.
I think you are quite right. Pretty much the only instances of me replaying scenarios are when I am playtesting or taking newbies thru the game.I'm thinking however if a scenario appeals to one initially it's one that comes out fairly close.

Any Italian unit that exit the map would be eliminated and give the Ethiopian player CVP, per A26.211.I started perusing the Ethiopian scenarios (introduced with a minimum of new rules - praise the ASL Gods!) and have a question about scenario 257 Circle the Wagons. Can the Italian force which starts on map exit the map via the South Edge to avoid surrendering CVPs?
Yup. the graphics are awesome for HL 3E. bagging my old 1st edition Italians and boy what a shit show of graphics that version was. The quality of the 1E counters are horrible. I bet if we had the internet back in 1990, AH would have gotten an earful.I just opened my copy of Hollow Legions today. The graphics on the overlays and Boards 25/25e really pop, a nice upgrade there.
At least you knew at one time. I don't know half the rules as well as I should like; and I know less than half of the rest half as well as I should (apologies, professor).Sometimes I think I've forgotten more about this game than I currently know.
