Its a mater of marketing. If people could try or see it out at conventions and buy a complete boxed game there, im sure it would move into the market. But its a highly detailed large game with a time commitment. So its not ever going to sell like clue. And thats a ton of advertising

@Chris_Henry:

Thanks for the reply John. I was wondering about those expansions, I didn’t know if they were still in the plans or not, but I’m glad to hear they are! A board game is also an intriguing idea, but you’re right in that interest in that may be lacking.

It seemed like a simple enough idea to get more action in the early stages of the game for those who would want it.

I look forward to everything this has to offer!

Thanks,

Chris

No problem, Chris. Yes, this game is going to be a blast, because everyone can add what they want to the game. I’m super stoked about the endless possibilities, we will have. :-D

Cheers,

John

Anzac defender,

I would wait until HBG’s newest map comes out.  It’s far more aesthetically pleasing than the current version, and the rules will also be more encompassing.  It’s the 1936 map as far as I know name-wise.  They might call it something else when they release it.  I will mention too though that you might wait for a little while if you go for that one, because progress on development is still on-going.

@koba:

I’ve been waiting for these too. I have a feeling they’ll be rolled out when/after global 1936 comes out. It appears they are concentrating on getting the new map and rules sorted out.

Koba, I think your right. I think they will start with the map and rules, and then move forward from there. :-)

@Ben_D:

There’s a few things that HBG has available that aren’t explained well, if at all. �� All of the resource tokens, certain types of fortifications (like the Fort Drum one), P.O.W. camps and a few other things seem to fall into that category. �� There is a section on the site that has rules laid out for some of the stuff, but it seems to be outdated at this point.��  Maybe an update is in order?

I’ve asked them to update the rules to the markers and fortifications many times, but I’ve never got a response. I assuming they just don’t have time since they are producing so much as of a late. That is just my theory. I hope they can update it at some point.

We are updating the special marker rules and it will be ongoing. Look for it in a couple weeks.

I appreciate it. It will help a lot. :-)

Just a thought. You could roll a die for automatic retreats. What I mean is if defender wants to retreat, then roll a die and that many can retreat. Bad die roll and he may have to leave a good piece behind. Also could force the attacker the same thing.

Make sure you go to historicalboardgaming.com to get the latest rule revisions. Feel free to suggest any problems with the game you may run across no matter how small. All feedback is welcomed.
