Tigers on the Hunt needs true wargamers for beta!

[KEYSTONE0795]

Since the game hasn't been released, there is no way to tell. I like Squad Battles. If this new design borrows some features from Squad Battles it should be a good game.

How will this game differ from John Tiller's Squad Battles?

Tigers on the Hunt is inspired by ASL boardgame; tough both of the games have top down graphics design and game scale.

Any news at all?

Yes still in beta testing, need to fix bug or two and then I think all I have to do is update the manual. It's getting there guys but I have been busy lately with my day job so much that when I get home my brain is fried and I don't have enough brain power to do game programming. I'm hoping to finish beta testing within a month or two.

Will there be a demo?

I'm sorry but no, I'm one man development team and I simply don't have the resources to create a demo.

[Elron Hubbub]

Maybe an open beta.

I don't believe this game exists...no forum in the in development section, no forum in the coming soon section...in beta...yea right.

that was tongue in cheek folks[;)] .....but really shouldn't this game have a forum?

It does seem strange...........

I'm finishing up work on the manual, kind of HOW-TO section where I explain how to move a personnel stack, how to fire support weapon, ordnance, vehicle etc. So yes, it's coming; the game is essentially done and beta tested. Scenarios are done, tutorial videos are currently being made and manual is almost there. Waiting for the game box art, that will need to be added into the game.[:)]

that far along makes it that more surprising no forum of its own. looking forward to learning more about the game.

The manual is done, I have just submitted it to the publisher. It's getting there guys Waiting for the final game box art ( I have seen and reviewed the draft version of the box art and I think, it looks really great) , I will need to update the game, it shouldn't take long after that

Any chance of a preview of the manual? I hope this will be released soon.

Rick,

The Matrix Games/Slitherine professional writer will take my draft copy of the manual and produce professional looking manual. My draft version has 21k words, 76 pages (just pure text) and I have submitted 105 screenshots for the manual. The manual is in hands of of the publisher, I'm not sure they will release it in a preview form. However, we are really getting close.

Cheers!

Peter

Great graphics, can't believe the stuff that we thought was great, I think I owned the first one or the game on the Western Front, can't remember the name, similar to this.

Didn't look good but the game play was GREAT! One of those let me play "one more turn" before I go to bed.

I'm a big fan of Tifers on the Prowl 2 and Panthers in the Shadows, I still play the games once in a while I do testing for HPS Tigers Unleashed.

Yup, I still try to help Scott out by reporting issues with Tigers Unleashed. [:)]

Looks like this game may make it in time for Christmas!

[rickier65]

Yes, I also played and enjoyed Tigers on the Prowl though I didn't get the followup game. I'm looking forward to seeing Tigers on the Hunt.
