Updates on ASL Products from MMP discussed on WNDY.

[Carln0130]

I say leave the slopes as-is. That way, I have an excuse to ignore them during play

Clever.....................

WNDY Week 48: A quiet week.
No new product updates, (Reference post 153)
Discussions of ASL World Championships possibly held in Europe in 2028.
A discussion of rule B26.31, whether this applies to AFV's or not. Paging Perry...
A Curt/Brian discussion of the setup for their upcoming game of Hill 253.5

In French, Palmier means "Palm Tree". An appropriate name for an ASL map artist.

He hasn’t done PTO yet (That I know of…)

 

[Old Noob]

Just received Journal 17. Now to wait for 'Prelude to War' (Marco Polo Bridge) [both types] and the
2026 reprint of the ASLRB in the final third of the year.

WNDY Week 49
Winter Offensive 2nd ASL World Championship Scenario testing continues...

Curt and Brian are asking for EXPERIENCED ASLer's, (N.A. or Europe) who are NOT attending WO2027 for help in Playtesting these Scenarios.
Contact them at podcast@mmpgamers.com

The Box Art for Prelude to War: Marco Polo Bridge (ASL/ASLSK) was shown.

Work continues on Ken Dunn's La Fière Bridge, possibly Mid to Late 2027.

Brian and Curt's Nationality Rankings were given and discussed.

Of note, Dan Dolan is working on a CG for Kakazu Ridge (Journal 2 and J2 Reprint), but do not expect this until 2028 or later. (And not in Crayon... )

 

[Old Noob]

Isn't La Fiere Bridge the final installment of the 82nd Airborne trilogy by MMP?

 

[Hutch]

Yes

 

[Vic Provost]

Isn't La Fiere Bridge the final installment of the 82nd Airborne trilogy by MMP?

Bring it on, I enjoyed the first 2 installments.

 

[Alan Hume]

Bring it on, I enjoyed the first 2 installments.

Yeah, I liked the fact that they 'shrinkwrapped' the second one so that it was very affordable
(I just put it in the box with the first one )

Me too Alan, hope they do the same with the 3rd installment, we don't need more boxes (or many more geo-boards).

Absolutely Vic
Though I do think we need some boards for Italy

 

[Old Noob]

Well, we will have to wait until 2027 (WBC?) for La Fiere game module.

Week 50 Update:

Special Trivia Question with HUGE prize.
Bonus Question: Identify Brian’s Hat

Prelude to War: Marco Polo Bridge (ASL, SK) should be on the Boat, this week or next.

SK's (SK1-4, DaE) in transit, estimated about 3 weeks. Note: When these are received at MMP, Shipping to Customers will begin almost immediately.

Scott and others are working on a way to combine previous preorders with new orders to help save postage costs.

Turn 1 of Curt and Brian's game of Hill 253.5 should be up on the website. (Don't Judge...)

Winter Offensive 2027 and Hotel Reservation information is up on the Website.

Make sure your AREA scores and Tournament games are up to date. AREA data is being used for the bracketing for the ASL World Championship.

Brian and Curt have requested Feedback on WO2028, they are planning this to be held in Europe. Looking for sites, availability and other information.
Contact MMP.

Not sure if I missed an update someplace, but last I heard Kharkov in Flames (KiF) was targeted for release at ASLOK. Other products have been the subject of production status updates, but haven't heard anything recently on KiF. It's also not on the MMP Pre-Order page. We're a little over a month out from ASLOK, so wanted to see if anyone knows if KiF is on track.

Appreciate Hutch's updates here since I don't always get a chance to catch every WNDY episode in a timely manner.

 

[Hutch]

Last mentioned was Kharkov was still on track for an ASLOK release. Different printer being used, not coming from China.
(Previous Contract?)

Scott and others are working on a way to combine previous preorders with new orders to help save postage costs.

Very good idea especially in this day and age.

 

[Old Noob]

So, a pre-order point coming up for "Kharkov in Flames", preferably just before ASLOK?

 

[Hutch]

WNDY Episode 51 Highlights
Trivia Winner: Paul Washington

SK's on the Boat, Expected in New York 1-2 Weeks.
Chas has told Brian that Kharkov in Flames will be at ASLOK.
Blood and Fire: Jebsheim and the ASLRB are being worked on.

The Sign up for the ASL World Championship, WO2027 Admission and WO2027 T-Shirts can be found on the MMP Page under Shop/Winter Offensive.

 

[Old Noob]

When do you expect "Blood and Fire: Jebsheim" to be available for pre-order (WO2027)?

 

[Hutch]

My feelings is there will not be a preorder of KiF. It will be available at ASLOK and Home purchase, the same way they did J17 at WBC. (So again a short preorder price time, 4 days)
Now, this is my opinion, with no facts only previous history.
