The release date will be before Origins, which is at the end of June. We'll get it out as soon as we can, as long as we're happy that everything is squared away.

A logical syllogism:

1 - The release date is before the end of June.
2 - May 14 is before the end of June.
3 - Therefore, the release date is May 14.

Works for me [:)]

An illogical syllogism
1 Origins is held in June 2525
2 2524 is before 2525
3 Therefore it'll be released in 2524

Oh, darn - with Origins coming right up we'll have to go into high gear on our convention preparations and push all releases back to GenCon in August. Sorry! [;)]

Sorry but i actually would like to know what "Origins" mean. What kind of period is that? Is that a holiday perhaps?

Some game convention in Ohio.  Never been.  Waiting for them to move it to Vegas . . . Originally for board/tabletop games.

Erik, do you typically go to Origins? It was near my hometown not too many years ago, of course, I happened to be about 500 miles away at the time... [:(]

DOH! Actually it was GenCon Indy that was near my hometown... forgot.

I would love to go and play tons of games. I have Memoir 44, Battlelore and just acquired an awsome remake of Twilight Struggle that I need a compentent opponent for...

As a company, we always go to Origins and often to GenCon as well. I will personally be going to both Origins and GenCon this year.

Ah Gen-Con,

I remember attending about the first Gen Con in Lake Geneva WI in a small room at the Legion Hall.  While it was set up by the creator of D & D who had his store in Lake Geneva, wargamers began attending from the beginning.  It easily out grew Lake Geneva and moved to UW Parkside for several years, out grew that and moved to downtown Milwaukee, and eventually out grew Milwaukee as well.
