Usually I think you can order their printed rule books as unbound and unpunched. Then you can punch the holes with your locally approved standard hole punch.

One might also find a local print shop to punch holes in a large stack of pre-printed papers, using a hole punching machine.

One complication might be the 8.5x11 vs A4 sized paper support.

It is more like ten in the rest of the world. The unpunched (so you can punch your own) option seems good.

Thinking out loud, I just wonder if...
European A4 paper is available in the US?
If it would run through our machines?

By Paul Howard (Raven) on Monday, August 23, 2021 - 02:48 pm: Edit

I am sure A4 Paper is available in the US....

…..but if your only going to sell 10 copies of it - it's probably not worth it...

(Unless you can persuade the US that A4 is better than Legal )

Thanks for the suggestions.

(If it doesn't also breach the copyright on a personal copy - I could always buy the PDF version and print* it on A4 paper?)

((I own a fastish Laser Printer for my office, so a couple of hundred pages isn't a problem).

By Mike Erickson (Mike_Erickson) on Monday, August 23, 2021 - 03:49 pm: Edit

A4 paper is definitely available in the US. One can buy reams or cases or whatever at places like Staples. Most commonly available printers like an HP LaserJet include a multi-function tray that can hold A4 as well as Letter. Most modern computers have printer drivers for A4 as well.

So printing something out on A4 in the US is fairly easy, at least with common office products. The biggest challenge is resetting margins and/or scaling if one is printing a tightly formatted Letter sized document.

I would not try to reset margins. Too much work for too few people. It is 8.3 wide and our 8.5 documents will fit well enough, and it is slightly taller leaving bigger margins.

Not sure where this would go as it is an AAR for CL54 F&E Scenario report.

(6AH.0) Alpine Hail:
(6AH.41 & 6AH.42) Scenario OOBs for both Lyran and Romulans are missing ENG unit from Home Fleets. Suggest adding one to each, active when at war.
- L. Bergen 28 DEC 2021

(6AH.222) New Lyran SET UP: Listed positional change eliminating everything from the former Remus Hex 4514 eliminates a SB vital to the Home Fleet support of the Federation front as 4514 is 6 hexes from the NZ Planet Helvetia in 3912. Recommend leaving the SB in 4514. (if not a SB then at minimum suggest a BATS be placed in 4514 to provide a supply point and SMN and position that is upgradable for a lower cost.) - L.

Hi,
so what is the next ruleset to be updated and is the Warbook finally on the horizon?

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, August 09, 2022 - 12:14 am: Edit

I have finished updating StratOps and should get it to the PDF stores this month, and AdvOps next month.

For the rest of this year and into next year I should do FC Fighters Attack, FC Gunboats Attack, FC X-ships Attack, CL55, F&E Civil Wars, F&E Andro Wars, and SFMarines3. I think Chuck Strong decided that we would do F&EBS23 at StratCon next summer.

At that point, very little needs very minor updating. I don't think there is much more than one page of updates for IW and ME and FO combined.

F&E Basic Set 2010 (update 2023)
F&E ISC War 2011 (update 2024)
F&E Minor Empires 2015 (update 2024)
F&E Fighter Ops 2016 (update 2024)
F&E Planetary Ops 2021
F&E Combined Ops 2021
F&E Tactical Ops 2021
F&E Advanced Ops 2022
F&E Special Ops 2022
F&E Civil Wars 2022
F&E Andro War 202?

For people who have already purchased a product, I was wondering what the process was for obtaining the completed updates. Is a PDF compilation of the rule changes made available?

By Ryan Opel (Ryan) on Friday, August 12, 2022 - 11:41 pm: Edit

John best bet is to buy the rulebook in pdf from one of ADBs partner sites.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Saturday, August 13, 2022 - 12:36 am: Edit

There is no comprehensive list of changes. We made zillions of minor changes all over the book. (You could check the processed report topics on the BBS for a general idea, but some changes are made from handwritten notes the staff marks on the hard copies floating around stratcon and there is never any effort to track those.) New copies of the product will have the new books (at some point). People who bought the product before can buy an updated rulebook.

There will never be a single PDF of the F&E Warbook; it will always be a matter of buying the ten or so separate update books. In theory we might have a shopping cart item consisting of one of every book, but it would be the same price as buying each of the books and I would suspect few would buy the "total package" as everyone would already have at least some of the updated books.

Wasn't there a discussion thread for Civil War? Or am I just going crazy?

Or both.
