Marshall,

I want to add my vote for Hannibal as the next "Tin Soldiers" game. As someone else said, what drew me to the series was the Ancients setting. I've got nothing against other periods [Fred the Great and the Zulus suggestions also sound intriguing], but I've got numerous WWII games, and Nap and the ACW have been done, but ancient warfare has been largely ignored. As far as battle-level games go, there hasn't been anything since the "Great Battles" series [which I loved and would greatly appreciate if Matrix negotiated for the rights to release new versions of them. The only reason I don't still play them is because they crash to the desktop in the first turn every time I try to run them on my Windows XP machine--HINT, HINT--are you listening, Matrix?]. Of the three GB games, "Hannibal" was my favorite, and I'd be thrilled if he'd appear in a "Tin Soldiers" incarnation.

can we have some LIME GREEN ones

You betcha! I think there's some dog-chewed and stepped on versions of the same units.

...but you can't set these soldiers aflame now can you?....[:D]

I'm very excited by the new game, but I must confess I'm little sad that "Panzer Command" seems to sign the end of 'Tin Soldiers'. The games never seemed to be as popular as they deserved to be and I'd rather hoped than a Civil War or Napoleonic game might have had greater impact and made the series as a whole more popular. TS Napoleon in particular would have looked as stunning as (no doubt) it would have played. [:(]

ACW gets my vote.

I have SMG, CWBR, and the demo for TC2M. RTS is not for me anymore.

I'm hooked on CM style WEGO 3D.

PBEM is needed too.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but is there any intention to bring out more of the Tin Soldiers series?  Ending the series is bad bull Ags.

Can you guys at Koios say or not if there are going to be anymore "Tin Soldiers" series games? Yes or No is fine. I've so enjoyed TS:Caesar looking foward to other minature makes in sort of a pre WWII era. PC:OWS is good work as well. I'm just a tad bit burned out on WWII wargames atd. My preference would also be something in the line of "Spartan" and the greek wars and roman and persian invasions and a remake of the battle at thermopalie (sp) 300 Spartans scenario would be excellent. People think I don't like "any" games, I'm just picky thas all.

We need more Tin Soldiers

No

There does not appear to be much interest from mainstream wargamers in Ancient's games - and since we are a 'full time' game studio that must pay salaries etc... here comes WW2 baby! [8D]

[font="times new roman"]Damn… that's too bad I really like the series.[/font]

[elcidce]

You dont think there wouldnt be more interest in a US Civil War or Napoleon War Eras? I would think that they would turn a profit.

Oddly, calling us Ags is completely appropriate. I have my BS degree, and koiosworks has his masters at A&M.

Are you an Aggie?

Maybe we should do a one level "Tin Solders: Texas A&M vs Texas University" [:'(]

Yeah, but to make the game realistic, we would have to make sure that University of Texas always wins. [:D]

While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?

University of Texas??? What's that??? You must mean Texas University.... or errrr... as i like to call it "little Moscow on the Brazos"

[ravinhood]

I remember one Texas A & M game but forget who they were playing, at any rate at half time the score was 0 to 0 and the other team couldn't field a full team to play the 2nd half. But at any rate A & M kept playing and in the 4th quarter just before the end of the game they finally scored.

Now OT, really hate the see the Tin Soldiers series end. I think you got a rip not getting a RETAIL release of those games. The artwork alone would have sold them to mainstream customers. Shame Matrixgames only retails special selection games for the most part. Yall should look into another more mainstream publisher maybe lie Strategy First or maybe even Stardock. GalCiv 2 sold near the 200,000 copy mark according to Frogboy. I think you're just going to make nickels and dimes with Matrixgames.

I prefer 'The People's Republic of Austin', but it is still University of Texas: utexas.edu. You Ags must have a brain lock.
