It's just kind of frustrating. I was prepared to get this game next Monday. Please Slitherine, at least keep your release dates accurate, or just say "Coming soon" if you don't have a firm date.

Status: offline 		Just curious but where in the world do people format dates so that 11.06.12 = June 6, 2012? Not trying to be critical or picking a fight. I recall it may be European.

I suspect from what I have read that the new game will be more than just an expansion of the original Decisive Campaigns. An expansion usually is just a scenario add-on with perhaps minor improvements to the engine but this seems to be an incremental evolution to the engine with lots of new changes. Having said this I would encourage anyone on the fence to get the original game as others have. It is well worth the investment.

Next Thursday, 6/28 is the anniversary for Case Blue. Wouldn't that be a cool date for release?!

Status: offline 		That was the date we were originally aiming for, but we needed a bit more time to get the manuals printed (in full color!). We're making minor improvements and tweaks to the game and finishing up final beta testing, so I'd say mid-July is a good estimate.

Regards,

Status: offline 		I do appreciate the reply, Erik. I have to admit I feel like a kid again, waiting for a game to come out! Good clean fun though!

I sure hope it comes out sooner, but if waitng means a more polished game with color manuals, then I'll gladly be more patient!

+1
LOL
It can sometimes be confusing to read 11.06.2012, because in europe it means eleven June. Day-Month-Year. But in the, uhm, not civilized part it means the sixth of Octobre 2012, Month-Day-Year. Even more confusing than Celsius and Fahrenheit.... I *always* have to google Fahrenheit to see how hot/cold it is in Celsius degrees

The UK does and it's far more logical having day,month,year than month, day, year.

Wouldn't that logically be 4/7 rather than 7/4 ?

Independence was obviously a bad idea for them

Actually Dale, it means the 11th day of the 6th month of the 12th year. In ascending order from smallest to largest. The only other logical way to do it would be to say 2012/6/11. Putting it in month/day/year order makes no sense at all ;) How did the Yanks come to rule the world???
