Work has renewed on my Iwo Jima module.

[Honza]

Several years ago I posted about my Iwo Jima module. There was great feedback. It all stopped once I had the preliminary development done. I stumbled on articulating my notes and the ideas in my head into a fully written HASL chapter. We all know how precise the ASL rules need to be and my mind just does not work in that way for me to write my ideas as ASL speak.

However, I have teamed up with Carl Nogueira who is well known for his articles on ASL rules. He is a very busy man, but has undertaken the task of writing this HASL chapter with me. I will give the design ideas and he will articulate them as ASL rules. We all know this will take time, but it is on the road again. Back in development.

Yeah, Carl is busy as hell, I can confirm that, he does enough for Dispatches,
that is for sure. Retirement? What the hell is that? Time to roll some dice...

Make sure you have an SK version and introduce some SK cave complex rules.

(To be clear, this post is not serious and is explicitly meant to provoke Vic)

He is the right man for the job to be sure. He knows the rules very well and can articulate them. This project is just one of several he has on the go. So slow and steady does it.

On a recent perusal through my files, I came across some work I did on a possible title page for an Iwo module. Was that for you? Did I ever send you anything?

Glad to hear this Jan I was excited when you first posted about it and I followed your replay. Good luck I hope its released I'll be ready to buy.

Hi Alan, you didn't send anything. There was a thread I started about the possible name for the module. It might have been in response to that.

Is yours centered on Airfield No.2?

Its from the beach to the airfield and a bit beyond. Plus the Turkey Knob, the Amphitheatre, Hills Peter & Oboe.

I have no idea if how I titled it is related at all to what you were considering, but this is what I found on my computer.

 

[Honza]

Wow...that is quite striking.

Thanks. Would you prefer something other than "The Brave and the Dead"? I honestly don't recall where that came from.

I have my own list of possible titles for the module.

My two cents - keep the HASL simple. Do not create any more new rules. Like the rules for cows in the recent St Mere Eglise module.

Please don't do it - ASL is bad enough as it is......

 

[Honza]

Too late, there will be some new rules. Iwo is too exceptional to keep it simple.

But, but.... the Giant Sand Crabs at Iwo! They'll do your ankle to bits, they will!

Having said that the players can opt to leave the new rules out if they prefer - it would not break the module.

If you like the image, I can put in your preferred title instead.

Hi Alan, it is a long way away to choose a cover for the module. I would prefer a painting if I had a choice.
