DVG NEWS!

Oh by the way, DVG solitaire games like Hornet Leader or Field Command when ported to the computer will not have an AI. So are they still computer games?

What about Phantom Leader? It's a DVG game that is on my computer! So it meets all the criteria for a computer game! *grin*

[jomni]

Wha! There's now a Phantom Leader Vassal? I didn't know that.  Where to do I download it from? Vassal or DVG?

There isn't. ...Quite yet.

Well, I did the module for myself primarily (because I just picked up the game last week). However, when I get done tweaking it (probably next week), I planned on seeing if DVG wanted anything to do with it. I couldn't legally or morally share it without specific permissions, as the module is the whole game.

[jomni]

Ah so it's personal.
I've been bugging Dan about a Vassal version but he said he want's to avoid it for now.

Updated names on back of Hornet box...

We'll be proofing for 1 or 2 more days, then off to the printer! Proofing 480 sides of Pilot cards (240 actual Pilot cards), 60 Target cards, 30 Event cards, 8 Campaign sheets, Tactical Sheet, Help Sheet, and Rulebook takes a while!

HORNET LEADER
Updated names on back of Hornet box.

We're finishing the editing! We should be able to send the files in about 24 hours! This is the last chance to pre-order and get your name on the boxes.

MODERN NAVAL BATTLES
Mac Walker has done a great job of using the MNB core card game to run a miniatures game.

Here's the link to his blog...

HORNET LEADER

Updated names on back of Hornet box and rulebook. The proofing is done, but, being so close to the weekend, we're going to hold the files for a couple more days just to go over them a few more times. If we sent them on Friday, the printer probably won't look at them until Monday anyway.

HORNET LEADER
The printer is examining the files and we should have sample games in a couple weeks! We have not raised the pre-order price to the standard price but will do so in a few days.

We’ve also uploaded the final rulebook.
http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/33/Horn ... Operations

FIELD COMMANDER ALEXANDER
We also ordered an Alexander reprint!
http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/21/Fiel ... he%20Great

FIELD COMMANDER NAPOLEON
We’re going to take a couple days off, then resume work on Napoleon. We should have new art, rules, etc posted in a week or two.

U-BOAT LEADER
Dave Schueler’s much asked about design that combines the Leader system with strategic and tactical WWII submarine warfare will soon be offered for pre-order!

FRONTLINE - GUADALCANAL
Will soon be offered for pre-order!

MODERN NAVAL BATTLES
We’ve had a lot of interest for more ship cards. We’re thinking of releasing a 110-card ship expansion. The expansion would add more ships to the existing fleets, and add a few new countries, such as Canada, Germany, and a couple more.

[jomni]

U-Boat leader sounds interesting.

[Dan Verssen]

Jomni - Thank you!
U-Boat is looking very good! We'll have it up for pre-order very soon.

[Dan Verssen]

GUNS BLAZING - HAS LANDED!
The Guns Blazing games and extra cards have arrived. We have started shipping the pre-order games and they should all be in the mail by Wednesday.

PHANTOM LEADER CARDS
The Pigeon and Gringo cards had minor typos. When we printed Guns Blazing, we ordered a short run of errata cards. Email us with your address if you would like the 2 cards. We only have a limited quantity.

U-BOAT LEADER
We’ve launched U-Boat Leader for pre-order!

Dave Schueler has done an outstanding job of taking the Leader series back to the Battle for the North Atlantic. U-Boat Leader places you in command of Germany’s U-Boats as you attempt to cut-off Britain’s vital supply link.

The game allows you to deploy your boats and carryout strategic operations, and then zoom into the tactical battle level when your subs make contact with enemy ships.

If you are a fan of the Leader series, solitaire games, WWII, or naval games - please take a look at this game!

HORNET LEADER
We just received the printer sample and they look amazing!
http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/ch/news

The games should arrive at the start of December. We’re hoping to get the games to people in time for Christmas.

PHANTOM LEADER - REPLACEMENT CARDS
We really (really) underestimated the response from people requesting replacement cards. We’ve mailed the first batch and have ordered a second printing. They will arrive with the Hornet Leader cards.

GUNS BLAZING
Guns Blazing has launched!
http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/29/Down ... %20Blazing

We are very happy with the game and are pleased to expand the Down In Flames universe!

FIELD COMMANDER ALEXANDER
Alexander will be back in print!
http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/21/Fiel ... he%20Great

We’re printing Alexander right now along with Hornet Leader!

VENDETTA
We’ve created a promotional video for Vendetta on the Kickstarter web site. We are honoring the promotions on the DVG site as well as the Kickstarter promotions.

MODERN NAVAL BATTLES
MNB will be in stock again when we print Napoleon in a couple months!
http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/1/Moder ... %20Warfare

We will soon announce a 110-card Ship expansion for pre-order! We’ll print the expansion at the same time as we reprint the MNB core game. In addition to expanding the fleets for the nations appearing in the core game (USA, USSR, UK, France, China, Argentina, Taiwan, Norway, and Japan), the expansion adds fleets for: Germany, Canada, and Italy!

VASSAL GAMES
We are taking over the Vassal ordering/downloading system and it is a slow process of getting the software up and running. If you have ordered a Vassal game recently, we haven’t forgotten you. We are working on the new system.

COUNTER TRAYS
Starting in a couple months, we’ll be offering counter trays!
