Since TBF has been pushed into 2015, I'll have to consider another idea for a holiday present..

Will this game be released through the Steam as well?

all good things come to those who wait, just seems you will have to wait a while longer[:D][;)]

But, I don't wanna wait. They said 2014...I expect it to be 2014...I planned for 2014....I might die tomorrow. [:D] (some of you would love that wouldn't you?) [:-]

We are wargamers, we want it and we want it yesterday!!!
Lets see, for me the problem more than in wait is wait with 0 direct info about game... i follow with more interest games that i can see, one thing is follow some lines of text and other images and true info about game and how works.
RE: The Bloody First to Arrive in 2014
As I said earlier, I don't mind the waiting. So long as the game's finished when it comes out.
The last thing we want is an unfinished game, right? So what if they said 2014!? We got GWTC last year - go play that instead

Definitely agree with you TIK that you want the most complete/stable game possible at release.
Matrix for past CC games has released a number of patches which seems to show good support but then stops to focus on the next release leaving known bugs unaddressed.
LSA tm.asp?m=3716292
WAR/TLD tm.asp?m=3387394

RE: The Bloody First to Arrive in 2014
Exactly. It seems they like to get the game out asap, throw one or two patches and then move on. So I'm hoping the longer we wait now, the better a game we'll get.
The problem with changing to a new engine/AI/3D is that if they mess it up, the current CC community will probably shun the series and stick to the old games. If the game's poor and they lose the backing from the CC fans... will they make another? They really can't afford to mess this up. And by "they" I mean Steve McClaire since as far as I'm aware he's the only one working on this atm. Go Steve!
Just wish there was something I could do to help [:(]

I am the only programmer, but I am not the only one working on the game. We have art and modeling (you do not want me doing either of these) as well as some map makers who are all doing their thing.

RE: The Bloody First to Arrive in 2014
Have to chip in here, really waiting to have LSA fixed (TLD would be nice to have too), before I will step in any other Matrix games (looking at GtC/TBF). Hire some extra support, it couldn't be -too- difficult, having all these years of experience with the games (and fixing similar issues in GtC)... Or is it?

RE: The Bloody First to Arrive in 2014
How about an update to The Bloody First? Should I aim for it's release around the Holidays, or should I wait until 2016?

Development continues. Release dates are handled by Matrix/Slitherine, so I can't give any specific answer to that. Sorry.

Aye, thanks for the update Steve, hope there will soon be more info or screenshots, something we are all looking forward to. Or a little 10/15 second movie of troop movement? 
Good luck on the coding, wish I could help.

RE: The Bloody First to Arrive in 2014
So as we await updates to TBF, there's been discussion in this forum about medics, which is valid. However, I've noticed in PitF and GTC, soldiers don't seem to break as easy, nor surrender as often as previous versions. Given the time of these battles, wasn't the Wermachts' morale at a low, thereby resulting in more soldiers surrendering?
