Yermolov,
a timely enquiry!
I have been meaning to do this for a while but actually the choice has often been...
Do I write an update OR
Do I carry on working on getting R2E finished!!!
So here is the status:
1. All of the main sections are written except
- A couple of example scenarios
- An Army Builder section giving Force guidelines
2. Clarence has formatted about 60% of the sections and they are look ing fantastic. Some of the 'place' photographs are being swapped out as we see how things are shaping up.
3. The cover art is done as are most of Clarence's internal pencil drawings. There are many more than in BLB.
4. Play testing has gone well and one or two small modifications need to be made to a couple of sectons but nothing major
5. Potential Advertisers will be contacted within the next couple of weeks.
6. Printing will I hope happen in July for an early August release.
I think that probably covers where we are up to. As in the past when I was getting BLB on the road it always takes longer than you think!
The book itself will probably run to 100 - 110 pages although a final page count still needs to be done. The rules themselves are straightforward and have a very strong period emphasis particularly regarding Orders, Command, Formations, Movement.
They are definitely not in the tradition of recent Horse and Musket rules which cover large periods of time. They focus only on the period 1792 -1815 with the emphasis definitely on field engagements during the 1806-1815 time span. It is full colour throughout, there will be at least 100 photographs most of them never seen before on my site, or Clarence's or any magazines.
Hope this is enough to be going on with!
