Question abou BtB1 compared to BtB2

[sam500]

I didn't find the answer to this using the search thread, so what are the differences?

This is what I think I know:
Chas used to work with "Heat of Battle" and produced BtB1.
He kept the rights to it and re-did the maps for a new product BtB2 which included different scenarios than the first one.

Is that about it?
Is it possible to get those scenarios from BtB1 anywhere or are those owned by "Heat of Battle" and are currently not in print?

Thanks in advance for the info guys.
Sam

BtB 2 has the 8 (minor revisions?) scenarios from BtB (1) plus 8 new scenarios for a total of 16. There are now 4 maps, including the original 2 but now in SK style. 5 overlays including the original 2 but in the standard light card rather the original plastic laminate.

I had the original BtB but got BtB 2 and the related BFP 2 "Operation Cobra" and regarded them well worth the money.

In effect BtB2 is a doubling of BtB (1) from 8 to 16 scenarios, 2 to 4 maps and 2 to 5 overlays. You do not have to get anything from BtB (1) as it is all in BtB 2.

What Paul said. Buy BtB 2 and you then have BtB 1 as well.
