Post by: shann1870 on 29 September 2020, 09:32:10 PM: Hi All
Just a note to say that I am putting the finishing touches to a book of 12 scenarios on the Seelow Heights Campaign of April 1945. The will be regular updates on the blog if you are interested:

Cheers

That would be a game I would like to play.
I even enjoy Rapid Fire. It is my WW2 rule set.

Post by: shann1870 on 30 September 2020, 09:44:51 PM: Thanks Guys. Moiterei - your comment came through and it is on the blog now. Thanks Ben - appreciate the support. Although the orders of battle are expressed in Rapid Fire terms (like you they are my preferred set), they are perfectly useable with other rule sets, such as BKC or Command Decision with a little bit of conversion.

Do you think you will be doing a PDF version?

Post by: shann1870 on 08 February 2021, 09:45:17 PM: I am pleased to say that the book is now available in the US from On Military Matters. Should make the postage a bit cheaper!

Post by: deephorse on 27 February 2021, 03:15:49 PM: I just want to say what an excellent publication this is for Rapid Fire players. Thanks for all your effort in producing this Steve.

Post by: rct75001 on 27 February 2021, 08:29:27 PM: I thought I had commented here but seemingly not.

I echo the above sentiment. This is about as good as it gets in my opinion on supplements for Rapid Fire. That is saying alot as I keep my original Market Garden one under my pillow :)

The research, layout, pictures and scenarios are superb. I'd buy anything else Steve did sight unseen..
