Hey I am thinking of picking these up, what is the replayablity on these?

I have seen the counters, Chapter H notes and the scenarios looks good but how do they play out and your thoughts?

The boat rules in SFII are good to have.

Maybe even combine the SF II counters into a Pegasus Bridge scenario or two..... Read the Ambrose book on PB and he talks about E-boats patrolling down the river.....

I'd check for corroborating sources before I believed a single thing Ambrose wrote or claimed to have written..

I did read his book about Lewis & Clarke and actually found some of the locations he spoke about in the book.

Since this is only a "game", fictious writings have become classic SL/ASL Scenarios.

Don,

Alex Key has the counters available.

I paid $7 a piece for each set of counters.

The SFI has some cool vehicles, but more of them "British" khaki infantry MMCs.

The SFII has GREAT German Boats and the new German Infantry counters to use with the module.

The Chapter H info pages for SFII are well worth the price for the module. Check with Alex for these items.

Send me an email as well.

I like these two because of their unique nature to the war as a whole. I like different items, and this is one or two of them. Worth picking up in mybook. But, my book is full with almost all ASL stuff put out.

How are they in regards to errors?
I believe they came out in a period where the HOB stuff was filled with errors.

A couple scenarios in SF II: Kustenjagers call for using the Reaction Force Table located on the inside of the booklet. This table then refers to 'SMC'. What table should be used to generate said leader values?

Table 1 is German forces. The question is the Reaction Platoon Table states that you get SMC and SW but they are not defined. Where is this information located?

I read through the SSR's and I am guessing that you use the Ch H1.92. I say this because in SSR's, SF II 6.22 states that you cannot use DYO for leader creation for KJ units. Just my .02.
