I am happy to report that the Bonaparte in Italy counters were finally printed; no chance to have counters at Cold Wars (except press-sheets). Counters have the longest production cycle, since they must be not only printed, but laminated (sheets glued front & back to cardboard ...in Missouri!), then back to Pennsylvania and die-cut. Here is the approximate schedule, but who knows? Counters print: March 3. Warehouse / Ship: March 6 Arrive at Laminators: March 9 Waiting on floor: March 10 Laminating: March 13 Drying: March 14-15 Arrive at die-cutter: March 22 Waiting on floor: March 23 Die-cutting: March 24 According to that scenario the games will be assembled on Saturday, 25 March 2000. Charlie, Ed & anyone else who'd care to show up, I'll see you there for assembly ... ? As a result of delays we have extended the $36 pre-publication offer on Bonaparte in Italy through 24 March (see page five). Forgot what you've pre-ordered?
