I cannot wait to finally hold it in my hands (literally). :neo:

Ich hatte es auf der Tactica durchgeblättert und war nicht beeindruckt. Schade hatte mich auf die Regeln gefreut. Naja bleibe ich halt bei Altbewährten.

Wow... A quick flick and you know if the rules are good or not?
Wish I had that skill... Would have saved me loads of money buying rulebooks I dont like.
Still, I like it, but Im biased... I helped write it and my figures are in it! :toocool:

@Piers: Mind to show us a few sample-pages?
@Lettow: Woran hat es denn fuer Dich gehangen?

@Piers: Mind to show us a few sample-pages?
Sure, will do some tonight. :thumbup:

I got all the old AA/FoF stuff here at home and was quite surprised to see the new books at Tactica.
The new Osprey artwork and layout is very appealing and reminds me a lot of the FoG ones.
I was not sure if I\'m going to buy the new books but after seeing them at Tactica I definitely will.

Grundsätzlich finde ich es nicht schlimm wenn Leute unsere Arbeit auch mal nicht mögen - aber zu dem Thema hätten mich deine Kritikpunkte interessiert. Nur so können wir etwas verbessern. Konstruktive Kritik vorrausgesetzt... :thankyou:

Very interesting, I\'ll have a closer look if it comes across. :)

Ich hab mir die Bücher ebenfalls auf der Tactica angschaut und mir gefallen sie gut. :)
War für mich eigentlich noch der letzte Punkt um meinen Kaufentscheid zu fixen.
Auf die Regeln als solches hab ich nicht so genau geschaut, aber das kann ich dann, wenn ich die Bücher in Händen halte.
Werde also die guten Vorbestellkonditionen in Anspruch nehmen.
Ein paar Deltas hab ich mir jedenfalls auf der Tactica schon besorgt ... :D

amazon hat jetzt auch seinen vorbestellpreis gesenkt :)

Piers hat mir vor kurzem ein kleines Interview gegeben. Über seine Jahre im Hobby, das Wargaming und natürlich über seine Autorentätigkeit für das FoF Buch Ambush Valley.
Finden könnt ihr es H I E R :imsohappy: (http://smallscaleoperations.blogspot.com/2011/02/interview-with-big-p-from-gmg-piers.html)

Diejenigen von euch, die vor allem auf Piers Beitrag warten, dem Supplement Ambush Valley Vietnam wird das hier gefallen (übrigens die umfangreichste Aufarbeitung der Streitkräfte in diesem Konflikt, die jemals publiziert wurde!) :walklike: :
As some may know Osprey will be publishing a revised version of my Ambush Valley supplement for Force-on-Force in October. I have been joined by Joe Trevethick on this and I think we have pulled together something really special for Vietnam players.
As a sneak peek, I thought you guys may like to see the contents page list... Its not complete but it will give you a good idea whats coming...
