Matrix Games Forums

All being well and the economy finds its bounce sometime next year (I still haven't worked out who put their hand up and said "hey isn't it time we had a recession" in the first place), the proposed wargame release schedule for a few companies can be deduced and here is what I'm planning for the new year including current titles I don't yet own:

PC Wargames

Battles from the Bulge (Matrix - Panther)
Lock 'n Load Heroes of Stalingrad (Matrix - Lock n' Load)

Board Wargames

Commands and Colors 4 Imperial Rome (GMT - Borg)
Commands and Colors 5 Epic Ancients (GMT - Borg)
Washington's War (GMT - Herman)
Fields of Fire Solitaire (GMT - Hull)
Noville Bastogne's Oupost (LnL - Herzner)
A Ring of Hills Falklands (LnL - Walker) - damned sexy looking game!
Heroes of the Blitzkrieg France 1940 (LnL - Revenu)
World at War Blood and Bridges (LnL - Snyder)
World at War Operation Garbo Sweden (LnL - Idelman)
Nations at War White Star Rising (LnL - Walker)
Corps Command Dawns Early Light (LnL - Bogdasarian)
Corps Command Totensonntag - (LnL - Bogdasarian)

It'll be a year of finding what I like in a system, looking for quality and dependability. Hopefully with some stability in the economy, we can all continue to be awed by clever designers in the hobby we love. Happy 2009.

Battles From the Bulge.

WitP-AE and anything from Panther Games or Koiosworks.

PoE (aka ivanmoe)

1.Battle from the Bulge.
2. HOI 3.

That should do it for me. In a week I will have FOF, and JT Campaign Series. Those, along with the recent WW1 title, should keep me properly entertained for the next year.
If we have a depression, I may have to break out some old board games to kill some time.

Edit: I just noticed that Jutland (SES) was just released. That is a "possible" buy-not a must buy.

Battles from the Bulge and the CMSF Brits module are the only certainties for me. I'll probably get WitP-AE if the price is sensible (I'm not paying forty quid for it), and maybe 'Les Grognards' should it be actually turn out to be more than vapourware. The 2 by 3 East Front game is another must-buy, but in my experience "2009 or 2010" means 2010 at the earliest!

WitP AE, BftB, Bombing the Reich, WiF, new 2by3 title, HoI 3, Silent Hunter V ...

Depends on what actually get released in 2009.

Witp AE, Bombing of the Reich, WiF and the new 2by3 Eastern Front game

Anything by SSG. Really looking forward to ATD II...it's what wargaming is all about.

WITP: AE

Anything 2by3

2-3 MC and PzC from HPS

I'll be busy playtesting the new War in Russia so there won't be too much time to play other games.

2by2 East Front game
Battles of the Bulge
Heroes of Stalingrad

On my list for 2009 is to actually find some time and play the wargames I already have here [;)]

Crown of Glory Emperor's Edition

ORIGINAL: Marc von Martial

I should probably take a leaf out of your book Marc. I have plenty of games I've dabbled in and none I've mastered!

I just get really attracted to "shiny new"! Not a trait I'm proud of [:-]

From Matrix, Battles from the Bulge is a sure buy [&o]
From AGEOD, i have two candidates for 2009: Rise of Prussia and Vainglory of Nations (not strictly a wargame).
And i will probably get Stardock's Elemental open beta too (That's definitely not a wargame [;)]).

Don't forget the upcoming Crown of Glory: Emperor's Edition, which looks set to be one of the most exciting Napoleonic releases in years.

That's all fine for 2009, but is there still a Matrix cat in the bag for 2008 I wonder ? [;)]

It would be a wonderful thing if it popped out of the Matrix oven a day or two before Christmas.....But I assume that bundle of joy is a 2009 delivery

I'm afraid Hired Guns is the last release from us this year, but next year has some really big ones getting very close to release.

Panzer General 2 and MORE Classic BattleTech stuff [:D]

Sure buy:
WITP-AE
Battles from the Bulge

wishlist
A mech based tactical turn based wargame (like battletech)
A fantasy or SciFi based tactical turn based wargame (Wharammer / W40K like)

need a diversion from WWII

WitP-AE is #1 on my list.

I will also buy BotR sometime in the upcoming year as well, if it is released.
