Ordered mine from BFP. The $100 price includes US shipping, so it was about $2 cheaper for me than Gamers Armory.

Just shipped out some to California, final total with shipping was right at $97. I'll double check our shopping cart to see what our weight is on the package.

How big is the package?

My estimate of the least expensive shipping from Canada to California is about $17, which comes to $92 all in (based on our pre-order price). But happy to match BFP's price. :)

Seriously, it's only a few bucks either way. Support your FLGS.

Hmm. I punched in my info on your site within the first several days and your shopping cart gave me a total of $101 and change. I wasn't trying to circulate any misinformation, but that's the quote I got. I was mostly just wanting people to know that BFP's posted prices include shipping, which some people don't realize. You know I've ordered lots of stuff from you, and I will certainly do so again. Same for Chris, who practically has a mortgage on my home after feeding my dice addiction. If the pricing has changed from what I was given, I didn't know. Wherever anyone buys it, they'll get a great product at a fair price.

I hate to interrupt the hubbaloo over another great product, but I have a scenario-related questions.

In FT171 Getting Your Bell Rung, an SSR states that all buildings are single story with the exception of steeples. One of the overlays is a two-hex building with a steeple. We interpreted SSR as meaning that that steeple was at Level 1. But the the steeple isn't very useful at Level 1 so we wondered if the it was meant to be at Level 2. Should it be at Level 2?
You interpreted the SSR correctly. It only states a steeple exists in such buildings.

The 59W9 steeple has good LOS over the in-season grain in a probable avenue of the British. The other one is a VC hex, plus it has good LOS over half of the board 43 grain, cemetery and hedges. I would definitively put a MG nest in that steeple as soon as I can. So my opinion is that they are still very useful at some time of the scenario.

Paul,

I did not take it as misinformation. Our price and the price from BFP is usually about the same once shipping is calculated. Thanks for all your business!

INRE: FT197- "Spoiled Afternoon".....Is the second group of Germans, the Escort element, required to enter onboard using Convoy movement? Their entry instructions do not stipulate it, like the first group; however their entry instructions also reference one to SSR 2 & 3. Hard to tell.....

Thanks!

I agree. A strict reading of the card suggests that the Escort element is not bound by the Convoy rules.

Moreover, if both groups do enter as Convoys, it looks like there would be a one-hex overlap. I think the farthest that the first Convoy can move on Turn 1 is seven hexes along the road (2MP per hex, and a Pz IIA only has 15MP). There are five vehicles in the first Convoy, and three in the second. That's eight road hexes.

More likely, only the last sentence of SSR2 is relevant to the Escort Group.


Mr. Swann, on his yacht in the South Pacific, could not be reached for comment.

Thanks, Chris. I double-checked the rules, however, and did not find anything requiring Convoys to use a road. So it is still possible the intent was for the Escort Group to use Convoy movement, but like you, I agree that it does not seem likely.

That is the choice allowed to the player,

Planning to play FT09 Alpine Bolt

Conditions: "EC are falling Snow with a Mild Breeze blowing from the North East and are in effect for all the part".

So what part is this refering to? the wind, the falling snow or both?

Does anyone know?

"EC ... are in effect for all the part."

are = plural, so I guess it applies to both.

If it were only the Mild Breeze, I think it would have been "Mild Breeze blowing ... and is in effect for all the part."
