BFP 3 Blood and Jungle -- Information and Updates
With numerous questions regarding this upcoming product, decided to put out some info.
Not sure when this will go up for preorder, but hopefully it will be sometime in 2009. PTing is 99% complete and we are well into the editing and layout process. the problem is that the contents are so extrensive, it is going to take a while to ensure we get it all right.
Additionally, with the large number of components this product is sure to retail at over $100.
General components are a special map, geoboard, magazine, player aid, over 40 scenarios, numerous countersheets. Counters include all kinds of stuff from all kinds of nationalities that are not currently in the system, as well as Japanese Paratroops, aircraft, etc. Several scenarios use these. Definitely want to wait to let all of the specific information out.
For those that have commented they dont like to play the USMC and caves. IIRC maybe 10% of the scenarios are USMC, and there are no cave complexes. A handful of scenarios have some caves but they compliment other fortifications. I can assure that there a wide variety of nationalities, terrain, etc, that add a lot of diversity to the scenarios in this.

All of the scenarios save one are layed out. Still some placeholders as their are many scen counters to develop. Mucho editing right now.

22 August Update
Guys,
Progress continues, but it feels like an inch at a time rather than great strides. Everyone on the team is working hard at some aspect of layout or editing. Since the last update one board is complete, 3 chapter H layed out and in editing, scenario counterart complete with a couple of exceptions, scenarios layed out and in editing, about half the articles in publication layout and pretty done with editing.
Anyway, B and J is coming along, but we still have a lot of hard work to do. Will keep you udpated as we can.

Blood and Jungle ready for pre-order:
Bounding Fire Productions is proud to announce that BFP3: Blood and Jungle is now available for pre-orders. Head to our website, www.boundingfire.com
BFP3: Blood and Jungle is our first Battlepack based in the Pacific Theater of Operations. The unprecedented size of this product makes it unique in our industry, and follows in our tradition of high quality, exciting scenarios.
General content includes:
47 scenarios. They range from early 1930s Japanese vs. Chinese Action to 1947 KNIL (Dutch) vs. Indonesians. The scenarios range from tourny to monster, all infantry to combined arms, etc. A good chunk of the action does not necessarily have PTO Terrain in effect. Basically there is something in here for everyone scenario wise.
A large magazine with a variety of articles all with a PTO theme.
4 countersheets. Japanese Partially Armed Paratroopers, 5/8" counters for a variety of nationalities either rare/not in the system/captured: Thai, Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, KNIL, US, Aussie.... and maybe some surprises.
Essentially 3 mapboards. One is our 'double wide' concept. The boards fit together for a large urban battlefield, and are geomorphic on all of the other sides.
.....and more.
We will be providing some pics, more information, etc.
Without a doubt this is a monster product, which I like to call 'the OtO of the PTO'. YMMV on this but I am fully confident if you like PTO you will love this product. If you are new and not necessarily interested in PTO, you will still really like this product.
We are ready to send this to the printers, so we are now taking pre-orders. Printing will take at least 4-6 weeks, so we should start shipping in January. Pre-order pricing is $104 for US and Canadian orders and $113 for everywhere else. As always this price INCLUDES all shipping and handling. Once we roll this out, retail price will be $125, so take advantage of the pre-order price and immerse yourself in all things PTO.
Thanks for your dedicated support of Bounding Fire Productions.

I've found the internal debate (i.e. the debate in my head) has been to either play a lot of games poorly or a few games well. I prefer the latter model, but then you must, as you say, find that set of holy grail games that one chooses to become goo…

Really - that's a good point. I wonder if the Audi folks realized the message they were sending out with this one. I doubt if anyone found it funny in the least.

I've recently printed and built "To the Last Man." I was able to play the game and get an idea of its look and feel beforehand thanks to BGG and Cyberboard. It's an excellent game, one well worth the bother.

Yes, this was a creepy ad. I looked at the Audi website to compare this car to others. Oddly enough, you are unable to compare it to the VW SportWagon TDI, which gets exactly the same mileage.

I'd love to see more open source work, but I'm especially thinking of computer games. That would allow not just designers, but the developers, to look "under the hood" to see what makes a good game work. Even if that education is taken to commercial…

What I think will be coolest about the concept is the use of touch displays to pick up and move counters, etc. and swipe the display with a finger to quickly scroll and view the map. All this while having a live chat window or audio option to talk t…
