New game called: Battle of France 1940

@Freddy:

In terms of units needed to play, you probably have the units needed.
I would say that if you have any game (not 1941) that contains mechanized units you have enough units to play. You don’t even need blue units to play the game, Russians will work perfectly fine. If you have any set of french units, that is more than you will need. The “full” set only comes with an abbreviated set of french units from G40.
Freddy

Oh, so the full set doesn’t include British or German pieces?

The full set comes with German, British and French pieces. 120 pieces. You get 50 British, 50 French and 70 German Pieces. I hope this helps. I don’t have the breakdown, but not all of them are OOB. some come from Historical Board Gaming, which is cool. :-)

Thanks John Brown for clarifying that,
I totally didn’t mean to say that the sets ONLY contain french units, what I meant was that the pieces are simply OOB french units (some are from HBG, which does a fantastic job in terms of units) but I personally don’t have any unique sculpts to offer. Sorry for that mistake!

Freddy - I sent you a PM last week or over the weekend. Is it possible to obtain or buy a digital copy of the rules and set up charts? I’m planning on buying a copy between now and Christmas, but wanted to look over the rules and initial forces beforehand.

Thanks!

[Feddy the Frog]

TacoJohn,
Sorry about being late on answering your PM. I’ll have to delay and discuss with my partners for digital copies of the rules and set up charts. I will discuss it with them, and I’ll get back as soon as I can. If you have any more questions please ask though!
Thanks man,
Freddy

[tacojohn]

Hey Freddy -

I know you’re checking with your partners on my inquiry. Here’s an alternative to my question: when I buy a copy of the game, could I then get a digital copy of the rules and set-up charts to read/review on my electronic device (iPad)?

As an alternative, you could take pictures of the book with your iPad and use that.

But also I’d like to bring up a little problem about the rule book.
My rule book came jumbled up. By that I mean pages were wierdly scrambled about. For example, one page is pg 13 and the next is pg 5. It threw me way off at first when I was looking for specific stuff. Now I’ll have to flip through the pages looking for a number. Not a big problem, but an inconvenience nonetheless.

[Feddy the Frog]

Ch0senfktard,
Sorry for the inconvenience, I will look into whether that was an anomaly in printing or a more general mistake. Sorry about that, and I would be willing to send you another copy of the rulebook if you want.

Thanks for the offer, but I’m sure I can just disassemble and reassemble the pages to be the correct order whenever I have the time to do so.

I simply wanted to bring this to your attention just in case other rule books have the same problem.

Ahh, I guess this is a moot request now, seeing as how I received a copy of the game for Christmas and can now make my own digital copy of the rules and set-up charts.

The game itself looks good and I’m interested in giving it a run-through. Too bad you couldn’t accommodate a simple request to preview the rules. But hey…it’s your game, so you get to set the policies.  You could take a lesson or two in customer service from HBG.

This game is awesome.

Is this game still available? I am highly interested in finding a copy…

I checked for his website, because I had it, in my favorite searches, but the website is no longer there.

I’m not sure what is going on.

Sorry, that is all I know.

Unfortunately I don’t think it is. We sold off the 2 copies we acquired from FMG who managed to get distribution of it a while back.
I’ll see what I can find out.

I don’t seem to be able to get any response on this from any of the involved parties, so I assume it’s now an Out of Print project.

[crsluggo]

Thanks for checking!

[Marc Arderiu]

Does someone have the files to print the board and the rules?
I wish it could still be bought somewhere but it completely vanished from everywhere…

@Imperious-Leader Only the setUp cards of all the dropbox documents can be opened. The rest of documents aren’t there any longer.
