Turn on the lights then!

I had sworn off of night until VASL. Now I will only play night on VASL.
Given how much is available to play, really anything with a lot of HIP is VASL only.
We played a TotR scenario recently and my opponent kept forgetting that his unit had a SW, etc
which kind of wrecked the game. His bad, could have been me just as easily as
I guess we are getting too used to the wonderful HIP function on VASL.

I take pics on my phone of my setup. It makes forgetting HIPS way less likely.

That's actually how it works on a table...

Semper Fi!

I can imagine it, but that is as far as I will go.

No mention of a French Indochina module?

 

[Scott_Blanton]

Kohima is not as far along in the production process. There are more things that were not discussed, just hit some key items.

I'm just wondering, is there update about SASL 3rd edition?

 

[JG53_KurtKnispel]

I hope that the MMP guys can transition to the eRB for all their products but I am not sure how they guarantee the monetization. Perhaps if they give a code for 50% discount in the box of a new HASL towards the purchase of the eRB for that HASL.

I would love to see VotG, Red Barricades and SASL rules in eRB in the future. I have all those modules...

 

[JG53_KurtKnispel]

Since I purchased the eRules there is no going back really, just the search engine for it is amazing and the cross references are also invaluable.

Exactly, I love eRB

It sounds like an HASL rule book is already in the works.

I asked Curt about this on Discord, he said "In the works."

I read that as "It's a ways out." Probably a lot of new layout to do since the last time it was printed, and I think they are adding to it.

There was a request here on GS a number of months back for some play testing volunteers. So definitely being worked on and with enough updates to require play testing.

So if TPPs shut up shop today and everyone submitted their designs to MMP instead, what would the future look like?

Bleak, very bleak

I cannot imagine many of the current TPP offerings being made by MMP- at least in reasonable time. MMP has a long pipeline, and adding more stuff to it is not going to make anyone happy.

We are getting more official products than ever that is a good thing. TPPs add to that.

 

[olli]

I have heard of things being handed to MMP and sat on, MMP do not have the people or resources to put out what they do AND stuff the TPP,s produce if the TPP’s stopped then ASL would be in a bad place just like in the 80’s when AH hardly released and the TPP’s kept ASL alive .

Agreed - if you want a "thing" but the people who make the "thing" don't/won't/can't make it, you go and do it yourself, and that's how you get TPPs.

TPP widens and deepens the pool of experienced designers and playtesters for everyone to draw from.

Neither I nor Dispatches from the Bunker are going away any time soon...
