OST Vol IV. Sicily & Italy

[bob48]

As I mentioned elsewhere, this will soon (according to FPG and the games FB page) soon be up for kickstarter. I fully intend to get this as I play a lot of OST Vol II and really like the system.  At last we have a tac level game that included British and Commonwealth troops.

Once I do get me sticky paws on it though, I'll do an un-boxing and some reviews and maybe even an AAR or three.

No Indication as to when this will be published and' knowing how long the gestation periods can be on things like this, I suspect that it'll not be before next year - but I hope I'm wrong. It would make a lovely Christmas pressie :-)

There is also a further smaller expansion planned which is to include NZ troops, so Its possible we could see some Mont Casino scenarios. Fingers crossed.

I'll up-date this thread as and when there is anything of interest to report.

It looks like the Canadians have been relegated to the expansion with the Kiwis. But at least we’ll finally be represented in a tactical game.

[bob48]

Absolutely, although it would have been good to see them in the base game as well.

Have the Kiwis ever shown up in a tactical game other than ASL?

Sorry the Canadians are getting kicked down the road but it's cool the New Zealanders are getting a spot

[bob48]

The only other game I can think of, is Combat Commander - Mediterranean' but I'm not totally sure about that.

...

Are there actual Kiwi unit counters in ASL? Or are they just represented by using generic Minors counters?

[bob48]

No idea - you'll need to check with one of the ASL guru's :-)

I honestly don't know for certain, and was just assuming

[bob48]

I've just been looking at the counter sheets for CC-Med on BGG, and the Brit/Commonwealth forces are just generic khaki units, so not nation specific at all.
