Am I just bad at searching or is the Normandy campaign the only one available to buy as PDF? Were the other ones never available or are they "out of print" (for whatever reason a PDF version would ever not be in print)?
The Compendium only contains rules, right, not all the actual maps and other campaign stuff that would be needed to play through campaigns similar to the one in the Normandy book?
I still only have the Final Version of the rulebook, so not sure if there could be issues playing too new modules without also upgrading the rulebook?

Hi,
Have some developments on this.
1. The older Campaign books are being turned into "Scenario" books with all the extra rules pulled out (which are now in the Compendium). In addition to Blood on the Risers, you'll see these books coming back into print: Stalingrad, Peiper at the Gates, the Big Hurt, and Italy after D-Day.
2. A 4-part series of Campaign books is in process: ETO will have Western Front and Eastern Front books (both already written), the Desert War and the PTO. Each book will have general background, yearly timelines, campaign maps, a major campaign for each year, sample battles for each campaign, and a campaign linking system to let your Star play the whole war.
After that, there may be more Scenario Books written, but you won't need to worry about rules being scattered all over the books -- core rules will be NUTS 4e, and optional rules in the Compendium.

Were the other ones never available or are they "out of print" (for whatever reason a PDF version would ever not be in print)? Because they can be outdated and conflict with the current rules, causing confusion. John's answer is spot on. if someone wants the older PDFs as is just email me directly at twohourwargames@gmail.com. The Compendium only contains rules, right, not all the actual maps and other campaign stuff that would be needed to play through campaigns similar to the one in the Normandy book? I still only have the Final Version of the rulebook, so not sure if there could be issues playing too new modules without also upgrading the rulebook? 4th Edition is different than Final Version , which was upgraded because players wanted a more streamlined set of rules. Are you the same fellow from BGG? |
