AndySfromVA -> Tiller Games Purchased (11/19/2021 12:39:11 PM)

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.



rommel222 -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/19/2021 12:58:38 PM)

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.



Strelaoz -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/19/2021 8:45:17 PM)

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

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.

demyansk -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/20/2021 10:17:32 AM)

I wonder if a sale will be coming soon?



zakblood -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/20/2021 10:58:46 AM)

i also got a email with my upgrade and serial in it, good news indeed



loki100 -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/20/2021 11:06:33 AM)

having spent the last hour updating etc, I've realised just how many JTS games I seem to have acquired over the years [8D]



Zovs -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/20/2021 3:06:12 PM)

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.



demyansk -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/20/2021 9:25:59 PM)

Zovs when is the winter sale, approx, tahnks



RangerJoe -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/21/2021 1:09:57 AM)

I think that it starts after Thanksgiving.



demyansk -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/21/2021 9:35:17 AM)

Thanks guys, hope so



Zovs -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/21/2021 11:07:22 AM)

I can’t recall when it starts but I know for sure it will happen this year, it seems it run through December to the start of January.



Grim.Reaper -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/21/2021 12:06:43 PM)

Last year the winter sale happened from December 11th to December 31st. No idea if the same this year or not.



terminator -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/22/2021 4:09:59 AM)

It is a pleasant surprise to see old games always updated [:)]

Look up Warcraft III: Reforged. Reception was less than "a pleasant surprise". Same goes to a number of other old game "updates".



gamer78 -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/22/2021 5:54:13 PM)

France'14 still get patched. One of my favourite titles that has cavalry not machines. Marne battle I didn't yet play pbem.



Eambar -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/22/2021 11:25:59 PM)

I am particularly interested in Jutland and Wolf Pack from the Naval Campaigns series, they fill a gap in my games library. Anyone have a review on how they play?

There's also four demos that can be downloaded for free - nice to try out the system before buying.

Cheers

Grand Theft Auto “Definitive Edition” is this year’s Cyberpunk 2077.



wodin -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/23/2021 12:46:59 PM)

I want SB revamped

Give me multi level buildings. A new ammo feature (put an end to how an MG42 soon becomes a pea shooter in game etc), choose rate of fire, be wounded. Maybe enhance armour side of the game. Reinforcements and ammo restocks. Campaign feature including core units go throughout campaign. Awards issued etc end of campaign scenario\battle etc. Maybe manage issuing of weapons to individual soldier from historical selection. Enhance leader features. Enhance Comms.

All that done we'd have the perfect No1 2D top down turn based tactical wargame esp for WW2 era. I don't think the game worked well in modern era. Though revamped ammo and rof would improve that I'm certain.



RFalvo69 -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/23/2021 7:57:17 PM)

Now I got a patch for the “Panzer Campaigns Demo”. Considering that I own more than one PzC title (France 40, Ardennes 44…) my guess is that they are still manually sending around patches - or I would have got mine in a single mail.

Not that I’m unhappy: the PzC series is already fine with the latest patches from HPS.

My update links to JTS purchased games came individually via email, likely to prevent server overload.
If you have JT games purchased from HPS Sims, and you converted them to JTS versions prior to the cut off date, you need to send WD games an email to request links to the new installs. Wasn’t sure from your post if you know this, hate to see you wait for an email that doesn’t ever arrive!

Among many other fixes (not to mention a new, larger map "zoom"), the latest WDS PzC updates have a very important fix for assault resolution (a corrected Alternative Assault Resolution optional rule). All PzC players are urged to download and install the latest and greatest PzC 4.0 versions.

David, for years I have been advocating the potential of this series. Oh please bring it to the East Front, I long for a serious, playable and fun game on the East. I have badgered Rich for years about this series. It has so much potential. Lord knows we need a sensible game on the East that does not involve counting every chicken coop and rusty jerry can east of Berlin.



matt3916 -> RE: Tiller Games Purchased (11/25/2021 12:32:17 AM)

+1 to the East Front

Michael,

What can I say?

We have inherited a range of projects that are unfinished, still-born or otherwise. As you can see some substantial work was done in this series using the current scale. You can also see we have a full map of Europe (which looks much better with the recent graphical update).

There is no commitment to pick this up and complete it currently, but a lot of the building blocks are there already. I am with you, I had hardly touched this series previously, but it is a great little game system and much more playable with the lower counter density. We are even discussing doing a higher level series (probably corps level/monthly turns) using the same engine to allow a whole war in the East in an evening game (like AH's Third Reich).

More to come, but take this as we have stuff, just not a plan... yet!

David
