This or wait for Eastern Front?

Hi all,

I have seen mentioned the Eastern front game mentioned on here fairly often. Is that one due out soon?

I want to know if it is worth getting Battle for the Buldge or waiting for Ost Front? Given that the game is fairly pricey, I don't want to have to upgrade to the next version very soon.

Thanks,
JiminyJickers.

I got told that the east front game will be realased in ~ 2013.
So yes, buy BFTB if you like it, the HTTR (Market Garden) expansion will be out soon.
And if you are looking for something a bit cheaper (or just a unique scenario) then get COTA !

2013 for it, and an expansion coming out for BFTB, excellent. Sounds good to buy now then.

Thanks Wiggum.

2013!! We'll be lucky.

More like 2014 and I'd say 99% by 2015.

As for "upgrading" it's not really the case...buy if you enjoy or have an interest the theatre\battle....My interest in the East front far outweighs the West front and I have more or less zero interest in Africa. So I wouldn't buy an African theatre game.

I would agree.  If interested in this part of the war, buy now.  It will give you time to learn the system and like others said, likely a number of years away from the next version.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking, too. I'd be surprised if it was out in just 2 years.

So HttR is an expansion for BftB?
Interesting.

I've only heard they were working on an HttR version a la BtfB, yet we're all still waiting for a hot-fix/patch for the latter.

In fact, I have 3 Matrix games I'm awaiting patches for before I dive into any of them anytime soon.
