Why are the hex numbers on the map so high? They don't start with number 1, instead they start in the 30's.

I have not heard any news about Konigsberg 2 at all. Is it going to happen?

Yes, there is a northern map which is number 1-33 and was in the preliminary design of KBR.

Once I have caught up on projects, design on KBR II will start.
So there was fighting in that area? Vinnie said there was not much going on there.

the Russians launched star-like attack on Konigsberg, bypassing and isolating the 15 forts set up around the city. KBR depicts the south attack by the 11th Guards Army, but there were also attack from the West, Northwest, & North by the 43rd and 39th Army, each advancing for the centre of the city.

Mark DeVries and I played a scenario from this pack. KBR#4 Officer's Mess. We liked it and I am sure will play more from this.

Just received this from Ritterkrieg.
This is really a nice package. The map and counters are terrific.
I am especially enjoying the historical writeup.
Congratulations and thanks to Lone Canuck Publishing.

Regarding module dependency, does Konigsberg really require Red Barricades, Valor of the Guards, AND Festung Budapest to play? Or just one of the three?

Some parts of all three modules were used to varying degree during playtesting; but for instance, you could just a Fanatic Counter placed on a building instead of a Fanatic Strongpoint Counter to represent a Fanatic Strongpoint.
