Multi-Man Publishing is pleased to announce it and game industry leader Hasbro, Inc., have completed the process of extending its exclusive licensing agreement for former Avalon Hill wargame titles in a multi-year deal.

MMP plans to revive two more currently dormant Avalon Hill titles - Panzerblitz and the card-based game Up Front.

Ew, ew, ew! Mr Dalton, Mr Dalton?!?! :bounce:

Will Panzerblitz include the Panzer Leader game as well as the early and mid-war expansions? Will the game be modular?

Our current vision is to start with Western Front and expand it in a module type format.

Eggcellent....looking forward to both Panzerblitz and Up Front releases when they surface :). My old copy of Up Front looks like it passed through the hands of a couple of grotty teenagers.....oh yeah, it did, me and my brother many moons ago :D

CORRECTION:

Darren Emge is now the point man for Panzer Blitz 2. His email is emge@ieee.org

There is a Panzer Blitz 2 folder on Consimworld under the Game Series Discussion folder if anyone is interested.

Up Front: the artwork is done, it's stuck in the layout bottleneck we're hoping to clear soon.
Will it still be called "Up Front 2000"? :devil:
Nevertheless, i do eagerly wait for it!!!
Please, Keith, don't play too much with our nerves : this news is wonderfull... But if UF takes too much time to come out, I will have to reduce my order to 3 boxes rather than 10 (neuroleptics are getting costly, these days). :rolleyes:

Wow, pulled this thread out of the archives Aries!

I've never played UF. I've seen it, and I actually have a copy of the rules. I *think* I get the basic understanding of how the game works. I would love to see this one redone as well. I know that the redo for PB2 is underway, but I haven't seen the call go out for playtesters for an UF update, so I don't know that it's even being worked on as of yet.

Great news here (assuming is directed at more than just PB2 and is meant to include Up Front).

I have become sort of exhausted with electronic wargaming. And some rebuilt solid classics would be nice.
