Last issue was the most productive use of feedback I've seen in years. All the resident questions of the day were clearly and unequivocally solved--with very little in the way of grey clouding the picture. To recap, the questions were:

What to do about the 22 bad counters we've managed to print in our eight games? And should we do Ost Front?

The most frequent answer to the first one was "don't worry about it." While I appreciate the generosity, I'm never one for taking the easy way out. One player responded with a couple of options, but, of his ideas, the best by far was this: Fill out the countersheet with variant units for the earlier games. Now you're talking! Not only do I get to fix my bad counters, but I also get a chance to do some neat "what if" stuff. Topping this all off was my correspondence with a gamer in London who is a bit of an expert on the Panzer Lehr Division. He raised some interesting questions about the OB used in Omaha for the optional Lehr troops based on his extensive knowledge of Lehr's activities from the time of the May Gliederrung we used until the invasion-including the astounding revelation that the division staff had managed to make a typo which converted a bunch of Jgpz IV's into Jadg Tigers! Sony to see the Tigers go, but I now know what to do about fixing the 013-that's right into the variant/oops sheet they go.

The remaining questions are "when" and "how much." I want to put this thing together after this year's games so as to place any little disasters from those 5 onto the sheet. Does a 1992 Christmas present to all sound good? That way I can take into account all that happens between now and next winter. As for price, I think I've already stated my position on charging people for errata (I think the correct term is larceny)-so the sheet itself will be free. I'll have to charge a nominal shipping fee ($1 to $2, in the States) so that it doesn't cause problems with our tight budget.

So there we have an answer to question one: all errata counters, the new Panzer Lehr, and every variant we can think of in a 280 counter countersheet to be available in Dec 92 for a modest shipping fee. Unless I hear howls of outrage about this plan, that's what we'll go with.

The Ost Front comments were universally good-even the two guys who I thought would veto it liked the idea. And, I like John Kisner's ideas (see letter, this issue) regarding breaking the thing up-so that it doesn't bite off more than it can chew. I think a three way split would work best--41-42, 43 -early 44, late 44-45. Don't worry John, I won't be watering the command system down for it, I'll just be working it so that if a guy didn't want to set up an op sheet, he'd have a way to get right in and play. Consider this thing as a "go" with a publication date sometime after 1993.

Thanks for the help. Now for this issue's question:

Does anyone know of a high quality service bureau which isn't afraid of handling heavy duty graphics files and would be able to get them on film in both a reasonable amount of time and for a reasonable price? In the US, only, please.
