Neither Fear Nor Hope is a transition project. Most importantly it is the first Scenario pack with our new organization. The Scenarios were designed by the very talented designers of Steve Swann, Bernie Hegdahl and Bruce Reinhart. The Counters and Cover art by Klaus Fischer.
The scenario layout is a combination of HOBs tried and True format and SS-Bars very innovative design. NFNH is a continuation of the incredibly researched and detailed actions of Waffen-SS formations. While SS-3 is a continuation of SS-1 "No Quarter No Glory" and SS-2 "Führer's Firemen" it is also different in that it covers one specific unit from 1939 to 1945.
SS-3 is also the start of a new concept of following the development of specific units throughout its combat service. SS-3 will transition from the Waffen-SS to other units of other nations. Planned packs of this sort include Combat Engineers, the 30th US Infantry Division, the "Ariete" Italian Armored division and many others.
