I’ll be posting information on playtests, my thoughts and ideas, and will be glad to answer any questions you might have.

My current duties with BFP are: Author, Designer(6 scenarios in the workflow with Chas and the crew), Playtester, Editor, Proof Reader.  Folks wonder why we do it? It’s not for the money, am never going to get rich doing this, it’s the personal satisfaction of knowing that I’ve contributed to a fantastic team effort that I hope brings you a ton of ASL enjoyment as you play through the products we publish.

I’m also in the role of NON ASL game submission guy, we’re primarily ASL and ASL will always be first, but if you’ve got a game you believe is outstanding and you’re looking for a publisher, give me a note.

I can’t wait to get these in my hands in the next two weeks and get them shipped out.

For the main printer, I transferred 2.25 GB of compressed digital goodness, and 11 MB to the counter printers.

With the hard part of this project behind us, we are looking ahead to next year and planning our next two releases. Not enough decisions finalized at this point to announce anything, but we will be in full production again in January.

BFP3: Blood and Jungle is our first Battlepack based in the Pacific Theater of Operations. The unprecedented size of this product makes it unique in our industry, and follows in our tradition of high quality, exciting scenarios.

General content includes:

47 scenarios. They range from early 1930s Japanese vs. Chinese Action to 1947 KNIL (Dutch) vs. Indonesians. The scenarios range from tourny to monster, all infantry to combined arms, etc. A good chunk of the action does not necessarily have PTO Terrain in effect. Basically there is something in here for everyone scenario wise.

A large magazine with a variety of articles all with a PTO theme.

4 countersheets. Japanese Partially Armed Paratroopers, 5/8″ counters for a variety of nationalities either rare/not in the system/captured: Thai, Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, KNIL, US, Aussie…. and maybe some surprises.

Essentially 3 mapboards. One is our ‘double wide’ concept. The boards fit together for a large urban battlefield, and are geomorphic on all of the other sides.

…..and more.

We will be providing some pics, more information, etc.

Without a doubt this is a monster product, which I like to call ‘the OtO of the PTO’. YMMV on this but I am fully confident if you like PTO you will love this product. If you are new and not necessarily interested in PTO, you will still really like this product.

I have all of the Bounding Fire boards (A-F) and overlays now listed, and the overlay instructions are updated as well.

If you have any issues, drop me an email at Support.

Thanks,

It is supposed to be there. When I was at the printer going over the proofs, there was a blank page on the back of the last scenario, since there is one scenario big enough for two pages.

Instead of leaving it blank, I picked the next largest scenario and copied it to the back of BFP-25, so both sides can have a copy during the play of BFP-21.

I couldn’t just pull a new scenario out of mid-air and publish it, so I thought an extra copy of a scenario would be better than a blank page.

It is unprecedented behaviour, but thanks for the oppurtunity to explain.

Head over to the download page to get the new stuff.

If anybody sees any other reports out there, let me know.

It has been a lot of fun trying to keep up with all of the orders, and I can only recall two slips. I hand-delivered one copy at Winter Offensive, then came back to Charlotte and mailed another copy out on that order. The other slip was only mailing ITR, and I missed adding a copy of LFT11 to the package. Considering all of the orders, that is still over 99% accurate shipping.

Please email us if you don’t have your ITR soon!

Let this statement inspire you though … They look awesome. The card stock is perfect, the size is perfect, the cut along the edges is right through the center dot on all 4 sides, the colors jump, etc.

The fold was backwards, but they will fold the rest the other way.
