Release Time?

[lanman]

Hi All!

Anyone know at what time exactly on the 25th this will release?

Many thanks!

[devoncop]

Not been announced yet but Slitherine/Matrix games normally release around 1600 hours GMT.

[lanman]

Ok thanks for this!

Has March 25th been confirmed for the release now?

[Erik Rutins]

Frankly, it will depend on when we're happy that everything is squared away. We aim for "as soon as possible" on a given release date, but at some times it takes longer than at other times. March 25th is indeed the release date.

Was about to reply that yes it was confirmed for the 25th before seeing the response above. Great to see a reply directly from Matrix confirming the 25th again.

Also good to hear they are aiming for "as soon as possible" on the 25th so Erik Rutins thank you!

I would like to point out, that on June 22, 1941, the Wehrmacht pushed into Russia at 3:00 a.m.

So Matrix/Slitherine if close historical authenticity is really that important to you...
Then get up early! [:D]

[lanman]

I'd be more than willing to get up that early in order to play [:D]

I believe it usually releases simultaneously so everyone gets it same time. But I think 16:00 GMT would be around midnight CST if thats any help.

The 25th is currently 'tomorrow' AWST...I guess us Antipodean folk will have to wait until the 26th?

Be careful about wishing for 'close historical authenticity' [:-]. Logically, that would push launch back to the 70th anniversary of Barbarossa

We also need to take into account that most of AGN started their offensive 15 minutes earlier than everyone so they could compensate for daybreak hitting them first due to the northern longitude.

Correct, you may like Barbarossa the first 24 hours, Isabel and Drabkin, it has all the first time something occurred, first tank v tank engagement, first combat loss of life, which SU were in field positions and not tactically surprised and who was not and so on.

Hi folks, I've checked in with the production and marketing teams today as we finalize everything with the store setup and do our last QA steps. The most likely release timing is around 11AM US Eastern time / 3PM UK time tomorrow. Obviously that is dependent on many factors but that's our best guess at this point.

Thanks for giving us a time, tentative or not. It is appreciated.

Hey Hanny,

First I have heard of this incident, any sources that I can read up on it? Not doubting you, but I'm surprised I never heard about it.

Online try a search for German sabotage team Brandunberger 800, it’s a Russian link with IK-PTZ RU in it, in book form F Kurowoski ( his other books are also excellent, perhaps the best for first hand accounts in his many books) has it in the Division history, The Brandenburgers Commandoes, German elite warrior spies,
