When?

Post by Adam Parker »

Is this one close because my wallet's impatient to open?

Just bought the new GMT board game The Kaiser's Pirates - has a nice in built solitaire system but there's another new board game based on the Arabian Nights that needs a decision unless this nice surprise of an announcement is due soon.

Boy, it would be refreshing to buy a good PC game for a change

Sounds like a good game. I see you have the complexity as introductory?

Yes, we feel this is a very easy game to learn to play, which is not to say it's shallow or easy to master, but it's a good introduction to wargaming for non-wargamers. We also think it's great fun for veteran wargamers too!

Conquest! is our planned release for this week. We are hoping to release Operation Barbarossa before the end of August, so far the chance of that looks pretty good.

How's this one going for release?!

The boardgame Kaiser's Pirates proved to be a non-event (too confusing to learn given my time).

I've had a nice experience playing Conquest Medievil but as I expected, the game play is a bit too uniform to play hours on end. It's now there for a play session whenever browsing becomes too boring.

The boardgame Tales of the Arabian Nights is awaiting some immersive sit down and I'm looking forward to that but my PC screen is once again empty.

I'm ready to give this one a go [:)] [&o]

It's going very well, I don't think we'll make the end of August, but the end of the first week of September is looking good. We're iterating on the release candidate to make sure we have a final gold master, so we're very close.

The current planned release date is next Tuesday, September 8th. So far, we are still on track, the most it should slip now is a day or two.
