Well
the rulebook and the first scenario book, 'Panzer Lehr at ST-LO' will be available at Historicon! We are excited to finally be releasing this to the wargaming community. We will be running about 15 scenarios plus there will be three sessions each day (thurs-sat) of Demo games. Many people have played Fireball at the conventions over the past few years and we thank each one of your for you input and interest in the game. We hope everyone will enjoy what we have to offer. See you at the convention! For a peek at the cover art for the ST-LO book check out my blog heres; link |

Will not be at Historicon this year. When will the rules be available to order and from where? Thank You. |

Mark said Brigade will most likely carry them after Historicon. |
mfastoso | 26 Jun 2012 7:44 a.m. PST |
Yep
Brigade Games should be carrying them |

Can I reserve copies? Will you run out of stock? |
mfastoso | 28 Jun 2012 8:48 a.m. PST |
If you can't get a copy in the dealer area swing by the Demo Games and we may have an extra copy. Gee
I hope we run out of stock! |

I'll be running a couple of Fireball games on Friday and Saturday--two more scenarios from the book I'm writing on the British Operation Perch--the battles around Villers-Bocage in June 1944. Come by and join in the fun! |

First off, I have to say how great Mark has been replying to my newbie questions about FbF on the yahoo group, despite being busy with Historicon. I also want to praise and recommend this set of rules, even though I'm only playing a few starter games with the (outdated) demo PDFs on their site. This is a really neat set of rules. I think of them like a much improved version of CrossFire (my favourite ruleset). They are smooth playing, reward proper tactics, have the right amount of chrome, introduce some nice mechanics, and are well written and easy to understand. Plus well-supported (so far) on the Yahoo group. They produce a great game that doesn't take all night to play a scenario and produce a superb narrative story for the game played. Like a marriage of CrossFire + Combat Commander. Kudos to Mark and Jonathan on producing a great set of WW2 rules that have been extremely fun to play. Can't wait for my full version rules. |

Does Fireball foreword have any scenarios on the Pacific? |

They ran several at the show and I think one of the crew is doing a book? It works really well and I had two games with Japs and they were both nail biting finishes. I said it there and will say again it is such a joy to finally see these rules published and I hope to get some UK converts when I run some games here. I need to post the photo's I have as the models in use and terrain were 1st Class!! Well done lads

DaveyJJ I love Xfire and I think you are right these rules for me allow good use of armour and I will use them for games where I want armour to be fun and more meaningful than how Xfire handles them

There is a single USMC vs Japanese sample scenario in the rule book. The rules for Japanese are addressed in the rule book. |

I have 12 Pacific scenarios in my super duper top secret Fireball Forward folder, one of which was sent to me by Mr. Fastoso only yesterday. They are all for his upcoming Guadalcanal book. I am considering writing some landing scenarios (and possibly a full book of games) for either Tarawa or Pelelieu since I have read almost everything I could find on those two battles. |
nazrat | 28 Jul 2012 10:08 a.m. PST |
GREAT pictures, Mark! You even caught me in one. |
Sean Barnett | 29 Jul 2012 9:07 p.m. PST |
Here are some more photos of Fireball games from Historicon. The Brits and Germans are from the Normandy games I ran on Friday and Saturday. link link link link link |

Darn you Sean
. I need to persuade my wife to look at these as I don't do Facebook

Sean Barnett | 30 Jul 2012 8:25 p.m. PST |
I'll have to find another site to post game photos--with a little camera it's easy to take a bunch. |
holien | 31 Jul 2012 1:27 p.m. PST |
Sean, Flickr is free and dead easy to upload to
