Title: Setting the East Ablaze 2e -- what are changes? New scenario book coming.
Post by: Schogun on July 16, 2018, 07:42:01 PM

I saw at Historicon that there is/will be a scenario book relating to the Dunsterforce. I have interest, but I have a 1st edition copy. I really don't want to spend another $30 for 2nd ed.

I would really appreciate a list of changes from 1e to 2e.

If changes are major and really requires buying 2e, then I will pass on both 2e and the scenario book.

Thanks

Hi Shogun

I wouldn't have written a second edition if I didn't think there was a need for a lot of changes.  Sorry if that means you are no longer interested, but appreciate your participation so far.

best regards

Steve

Hi Steve --

Sorry if I sounded a bit short. Sometimes a 2nd edition contains "clean-up" revisions and sometimes, like you say, wholesale changes.

I'll pick up a copy of 2e at the next convention.

Thanks!

Chuck

Schogun - I have both versions, and would say 2nd edition is worth getting.

I am very much looking forward to the Dunsterforce scenario book, but have a strong suspicion you could play it with either edition (although 2nd is longer and better!)

Agreed, you would easily be able to play all of the Dunsterforce 16 scenarios using the First Edition. That said, the 2nd Edition does clean things up and such, so is recommended as well.
