Manila HASL - Good news, Bad news

Sarge, will there be any US Army assault engineer counters in the mix? Either 667s or 747s?

Yes. 747's.

 

[Honza]

Yes. 747's.

Good news. It has been 36 years in the making to get those officially released.

Tom has a digital playtest map in the works....looks awesome BTW. As he stated it will be available when MMP gives the "go ahead" upon release of the actual product......hint hint hint......(only 125 more orders to hit the quota).

Thanks, Sarge. For the record, no concern from me on the physical size of the scenarios/CGs whatsoever -- there is plenty here for everybody. For me it is the scenarios. I just want to be able to play them via VASL soon after it is released. Thanks again. I am so appreciative of all the hard work that has obviously gone into it. I will preorder!

Thank you, ASLSARGE. I posted last year on the Forum concerning American assault engineer counters [along with some others].

For all of those who are hesitant about playing on the large Manila HASL map, have no fear. I have another project to be released from BFP which is a mini-HASL depicting the fighting in the sports complex south of Manila. Map is about 24" x 24". Eight scenarios and a full CG too . Won't get into the release queue until late 2021 or early 2022. Been working on this one for about ten years so it is in good shape. Now you will be able to do combat in a baseball stadium, a basketball gym, a soccer field, and an Olympic Stadium.

I think I just read about the battle in the baseball stadium last night: Twilight of the Gods (Ian Toll). He called the US forces the "visiting team". Nice turn of phrase.

Just hit the 950 preorders needed. Well done Sarge! Now...just have to wait and see if there is further delay as originally discussed by MMP.

Congratulations on hitting the number Sarge. Looking forward to seeing this effort for sure.
