This Monday, the last four copies of the first edition of Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars were sold. As you know, not many were printed (499!), but it has still been an unexpectedly successful adventure, thanks to the welcome and support of players from all over the world.
Non si interrompono i festeggiamenti per il Premio della Critica di Librogame’s Land assegnato al nostro “Un altro passo nella neve” in quel di Lucca Comics & Games (e mentre scrivo mi accorgo di non averlo postato sul sito!).
Some updates:
Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars is selling out! Well, not quite, but there are less than 80 boxes left. I will reprint it, but I’m in no rush. I thought I would have to think about it in the spring.
Ingenioso Hidalgo will not have a booth at Essen Spiel, but thanks to the good relationship we have built up over the years, you will be able to pick up your copies – of Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars and/or the first Battlefields expansion pack – at the fair, at the Nuts! booth (3U210).
So many things happened (great things, but with a slightly silly conclusion) so quickly that in the end I was forced to summarise them in a single post!
After a brief period of uncertainty, I have decided to resume shipments to the United States.
We had anticipated that Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars was created with the idea of being a system, ready to accommodate new maps and battles… and here we are, less than six months after its release, announcing the first new additions!
Back from holiday with a bump, with the first windmills to face for Ingenioso Hidalgo!
As you all know by now, from 29 August, all imports from the European Union to the United States will be subject to a 15% customs duty, which will also affect goods worth less than $800 (previously exempt from duties). Not only that, but it seems (I say ‘seems’ because we are living in a period of great confusion) that for an initial period, these duties may be applied as flat rates of $80 or above, rather than calculated on the actual value of the goods.
Thanks to the questions and comments received in these first few months, I have created a page of Frequently Asked Questions and Errata for Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars.
Yesterday, I had the honour of participating in SDHistCon Second Front with a Teach and Play session of Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars. The event was hosted by the excellent Homo Ludens channel.
