Tiller Games Purchased

Post by AndySfromVA »

Wargame Design Studio has purchased all the assets of John Tiller Software including its entire game catalog. WDS has been working with JTS for several years, enhancing their products, and has already issued a new game in the series.

This is good news for people like me who own JTS games.

Greetings AndySfromVA,
Thanks for posting this since I own & play almost every JTS game (including the old Talonsoft games).
Here is the new website lihk:
https://wargameds.com/

Also a new release:
CIVIL WAR BATTLES – FORGOTTEN CAMPAIGNS RELEASED
Wargame Design Studio (WDS) is excited to release its first game under the WDS label.

Forgotten Campaigns is the next installment in the Civil War Battles series with the prior fourteen titles covering the major campaigns in the American Civil War.

Forgotten Campaigns is a title unlike the others in the Civil War Battles series, in that it covers a wide range of actions from all theaters of the war. In this fifteenth installment of the series, we have rolled up the actions not covered in other titles, and in many cases actions that the historians have not devoted much attention to either. Fighting will range from frontier actions in New Mexico during 1862 to Mobile Bay in 1865. The Red River campaign of 1864 is included as is the War in Mississippi with Brice's Crossroads and Tupelo. Naval combat plays a prominent role in many actions as well, with coastal actions from Charleston to Baton Rouge and many others.

Civil War Battles – Forgotten Campaigns is for sale now and can be reviewed and purchased from this link: https://wargameds.com/products/forgotten-campaigns

I just got an e-mail with the link to upgrade "War on the Southern Front". This new edition is much more polished. I wonder if the original idea (to create a map of the whole ETO and then to re-create all the major campaigns of the war) is still on.

There is an option that shows the map for the whole "Southern Front" (the scenarios cover from Greece 40 to Sicily 43 via the DTO, Tunisia and Syria) and the sight is wonderful. I really hope that they will continue to work on this series.

There is huge potential across the Tiller range.

Both Strategic War and Squad battles are the next series we want to put additional development into.

This is the message I see when I tried to visit Wargame Design Studio's website after I received an email from them about updating my War on the Southern Front.

"Your connection isn't private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.wargamedesignstudio.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).

I never received this message before. My antivirus is Malware Bytes.

What is this about?

Please go to the new site https://wargameds.com/

We will be retiring the www.wargamedesignstudio.com site and we have a bit of a perfect storm in that the site certificate expired yesterday and has not auto-renewed like it was supposed to. We have a support ticket in for that. hence the message you are seeing.

The update for War on the Southern Front is on the new site.

Me too Loki, I am missing 5 of the PzC series, 4 each from the ACW and Napoleon series. I plan on picking those up as well as 2 of the Great War and 3 of the Modern War series during the winter sale.

Look up Warcraft III: Reforged. Reception was less than "a pleasant surprise". Same goes to a number of other old game "updates".
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.
