Hi there, Thanks for putting this together. This supersedes what we have for Heroes of the Pacific, correct?

No worries -- I'll buy the titles no matter what (certainly if HotP is any gaugue of what's to come). I remember the initial x-maps discussion and and it didn't occur to me how *much* better a little more real estate makes things. I'm glad to have the option.

Honestly, having fooled with the HotP and Battlepack X-Maps for a bit, I can't see ever wanting standard maps again (FYI, FWIW, YMMV). I'd even pay more for the games if these were standard/a check-out option. Big, juicy hexes are an appeal of the Combat Commander series, as well.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. That's great news and I look forward to getting the title.

Hi there, Thanks for the updates and a preview of the changes -- this sounds like an excitiing title. Please clarify something with respect to this remark and my situation: I have a Mare Nostrum pre-order from a few years ago that does _not_ appear to be pre-paid. If this is the case, should I...

W00t -- Got it! Been waiting 4+yrs and it looks worth it :) . Thanks!

Nicely done :) .

Thanks for getting back to me -- interesting stuff. I think the skill counters, among other things, is a move in the right direction. Looking forward to it.

Hi there, Yeah, my biggest gripe with the system was the structure of the rule text (not the actual rules, just the layout) and, come to think of it, detail such as font and color scheme were hard to live with in a couple examples. Thanks so much for the improvements.

Hi there, @David: Thanks for the update, and that's great to hear.

Didn't realize this restructuring of the titles was in the offing -- I like this idea. I get the attraction of un-bundling, but this makes more sense to me as a game purchaser.

@David Thanks for the quick response and the extra insight. For what it's worth, I ordered HotP after enjoying the heck out of "Heroes of The Blitzkrieg" and "Band of Heroes", even though the rules weren't well laid out and there were minor quality problems. It sounds like HotP will reflect a...

@David: Thank you for the update, it's good to hear things are proceeding. I'm looking forward to the final result. The LnL pre-order people would probably be more at ease if we understood some specifics behind these delays.Would this be this something you could relate in this forum?

w00t :) .
