I'm probably going to wait until for the physical product and manual are ready to ship. IIRC, there's no option to buy the Digital Download now and receive the CD/Case/Manual "when available," correct?

Please, Please, Please, release it. Come on, you know you want to [:D]

I have a feeling that it could be released tomorrow as most game releases seem to be on a Friday. That would be nice.

Sure, I'll post some up here shortly.

That's correct, those are Human vs. Human only but should be fantastic for a PBEM match.

And another one... this is basically a scramble to grab as much as you can to begin with, then as the borders of control start to gel, it transitions to a major war campaign as you try to keep up your supplies and replacements. During testing, I tried this as the New York faction and had a heck of a fight on my hands against Chicago in particular - I was glad the Appalachians were there for a defensive line a few times.

OK, suprisingly enough this is the first time I've taken a look at this forum! Yikes!

Looking at the writeups for the game scale and complexity, it put me in mind of the old Avalon Hill "Blitzkrieg" board game, or maybe "Strategy One" by SPI which was more configurable and had production rules. For those old codgers like me who remember these games, are these valid comparisons with Advanced Tactics?
