Neither thing is likely to happen.

Wargamedesignstudio has good graphics and rules enchantments for also older titles. More people play these games the better I think.

Which game should I buy? I play solo vs the AI. I have both Japan games, Bulge, Market Garden, and a slew of Civil War games like Gettysburg and Antietam. Disappointed in that for many of Antietam's scenarios the AI is not scripted. I have the newer CW games Shenandoah and Petersburg

Also have Wolfpack, Midway and War Over Vietnam.

Was thinking maybe Normandy or Schedlt, if it’s been out a year and qualifies for the sale. I have all the Early American Games and they are meh.

Any suggestions? Maybe Stalingrad?

Scheldt ‘44 was released less than a year ago, of course Kiev ‘43 was released this month.
Maybe take a look at the WW1 titles - France, Tannenberg and Serbia?

Also Panzer Battles has a nice scale.

And man oh man are there alot of running torpedo's in these scenarios!

I have and have played all the JTS Napoleonic games. Get the game with battles you know or are interested in.
Check the Napoleonic Wargamer's website for videos of each game:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCym8YQ09EyH9s0TDDZ0Q9lw/videos

The Napoleon in Russia 1812 Campaign has lots of variety and weather conditions summer, fall & winter battles.
https://johntillersoftware.com/NapoleonicBattles/NapoleonsRussianCampaign.html

If you have any interest in the Peninsular War in Spain then the Bonaparte & Wellington titles are great(includes Spanish guerrillas too).
https://johntillersoftware.com/NapoleonicBattles/BonaparteWar.html

https://johntillersoftware.com/NapoleonicBattles/WellingtonWar.html


If you want HUGE campaigns then get the Leipzig 1813 Campaign title (there are small & medium scenarios too).

I didn't think Battlefront would ever be on Steam let alone available through Matrix/Sliterine. I thought Battlefront did well enough on their own that they didn't need anyone else. I was very surprised.

Would love to see all JT titles through Matrix/Sliterine.

Status: offline 		JTS games can be in Matrix/Sliterine distribution at first and then Epic Games Store or Steam maybe after a few months -depends which one cut less income-. Alvaro -Warplan developer- very rightly have said there is good sales in Matrix&Slitherine community. But once that is depleted it is good to move into different platforms. Strategic Command series did become popular in Slitherine&matrix and also by Steam in which I buy these games before in those platforms. But was expensive.

France'14 'Battle of the Marne', Campaign Leipzig (Dresden and Leipzig)and Tunisia '43(Battle of Kasserine Pass) is good.

Status: offline 		Battlefront has their own store front too. They didn't need Matrix. They didn't need Steam. They had been around a very long time and had/have a large following and an excellent product. Yet there they are. When Battlefront consisted of their older Combat Mission titles they didn't need anything but their storefront. Yet they sold other places too like Direct to Drive which is where I found them. It might be more about exposure. I'm no marketing expert but it seems the more people there are that know about your products the more likely you have more sales. Whether or not you survive as a game producer is determined by sustained sales. Does not matter if a handful of people don't like this site or that platform. Matters where they can get more people to see their product.

That's the thing about Battlefront--they had their own storefront since forever, but they did zero marketing, and I mean zero--like not even sending out e-mails announcing new games to people that had purchased previous games. Kind of baffling, really... So more exposure via Slitherine and Steam couldn't but help.

And while JTS doesn't exactly do heavy marketing, they do at least send out e-mails about new games to existing customers and have someone post about them on various wargaming sites, so while they'd probably get more sales from Slitherine/Steam, I suspect that they'd benefit less than Battlefront.

Yes at first game designer should profit from sales and from player perspective, handful of people should be able to buy. Able to buy is simple. Better currency according to where they're from. Steam is very popular because of that. Not about simple to use or mod support. From what I see there is only a few Russian players whole lot of American players playing East Front games. Bit of an irony.

HPS versions (those games that could be bought on the HPS website and can still be bought there) are no longer supported. There are plenty of new official patches for these wargames but they are available on the JTS website. The games are now called JTS games. These patches officially include Volcano mods and some other extra stuff as well (e.g. extra scenarios, improved graphics).

As far as Kursk '43 is concerned, the latest JTS Kursk '43 is version "Gold 2.02"

You can check the updates and what they contain here but they are only for JTS versions, they won't work with your HPS titles:
https://johntillersoftware.com/Updates.html


Actually, if I were you, I'd contact JTS support; it's quite likely that they would send you a new serial and a download link for the JTS version of Kursk '43 as long as you can provide them with some sort of proof that you bought the game legally (e.g. its serial, order number, etc). Why don't you talk to them?
