As we are inching closer to our hands-off date handing out the game code to Matrix Games, here's a little thread to make the wait a bit shorter perhaps.
How long's the wait, exactly? We don't have the exact date yet, and with Matrix announcing plenty of games in October, we are keeping our fingers crossed for November.

Hand off to Matrix is the end of October to be released in November (ideally)
There will be a series of blogs available, I for one are writing two of them
[*] Campaign Series Event Engine in Vietnam 1.0, and
[*]
Wars and battles covered in Vietnam 1948-1967
Here's then the first Developer Diary covering the content available with Vietnam 1.0. We are still working with a BETA here, but bearing that in mind this should not be too far off as what's there in the game as it releases.
The French Indochina War in Vietnam 1.0 (directs to CSLegion.com)
From a company sized jump to
Giong Dingh in 1948, to the
Street Without Joy and a huge Complexity 8 scenario covering Operation Camargue, one of the largest use of forces by France in the conflict (and quite a map too, see below!), it is all
*) there.
There's also a deeper cover of some key campaigns, such as
the Day River campaign in spring 1951 with five scenarios, and
the Hoa Binh campaign of Autumn 1951 with two scenarios, too.
Dien Bien Phu? A whopping ten-series scenario set.
*) There's the full set of editors available to fill any gap small or large should you miss your favorite skirmish with 1.0.
