Well, since this project is one of those under my direction I suppose I should be the one to respond.
As of now, playtesting is still in progress on several scenarios. There are currently 30+, with about half on the HASL map and half on geo boards depicting actions just off the map or on nearby Angaur Island. We just added another playtest group to our fold and they are delving into the project with vigor. I made some minor revisions to the HASL map based upon recently released photos of Peleliu during/after the battle. There are three CG's. I've personally played them all and am quite satisfied with the final results. All of the scenarios have been vetted through a minimum of five or more playtests each by several groups....some with as many as fifteen playings.
Currently, Peleliu is in the production queue but it is behind Huertgen, and Corregidor as far as our HASL products are concerned. It has come down to deciding how many counters we will need to print up for this one, what types, and the proper mix. One of the major sticking points is whether or not to require ownership of BRT to play this. If so ,far fewer counters will be required to be printed. If not, then far more counters will be needed. If things continue to progress as they have, I would expect this product to be ready for pre-sell by early 2017. I wish I could say sooner, but logistics and reality have a way of impeding things.
I am in need of a couple people to proof the rules....besides me. Any volunteers in this area will be most welcomed.
As far as the actual product is concerned, I feel players will enjoy this one a lot. The variety of scenarios from small tourney size to a couple monster scenarios will meet everyone's taste. Seaborne Assaults, air support, NOBA, Night actions, severe weather (when is the last time you played a scenario with Heavy Winds and Rain?). And this one is not all Japanese in caves and US Marines digging them out. There are many with the Japanese as the Attacker.. There are several actions with the US Army's 81st Infantry Division on Angaur and Peleliu. You'll get to use those LVT FT vehicles from Blood and Jungle. A special "underlay" depicting the 1000 man cave and the Marines' attempt to clear it. And if things go well, an extensive and detailed article on Caves including how to attack them with infantry, OBA, Air Support, NOBA, etc will also be included. As events dictate, I will post progress reports on this product. Stay tuned. Thanks for the interest.
