Seller is reliable. Price is half published price.<br />Tim has mooted the idea fairly recently about republishing a second edition.<br />He has also indicated he would have written them using hexes had these been in use at time of writing.<br /><br />NeilNeil Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13565511145163341782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-52280006707305080502017-11-04T03:20:48.206-07:002017-11-04T03:20:48.206-07:00Jacko tells me that MEGABLITZ has been out of prin...Jacko tells me that MEGABLITZ has been out of print or otherwise unavailable for years. I gather there was some talk of resurrecting them through John Curry's 'History of Wargaming Project', but it never came to anything.<br /><br />Most of my thinking since Tuesday has concerned SP allocation, and possibly some limitation on attacking frontages.<br /><br />Thanks for the link. Somewhere in my archives I do have a couple of MEGABLITZ orbats that were published in a wargames magazine.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-11446489272394292302017-11-04T03:14:25.834-07:002017-11-04T03:14:25.834-07:00Thanks, Al.
