![]() ![]() So there's that too.Īnd no traditional beginning of year bone would be complete without putting out some pretty picture bones to compliment the text. You guys might have noticed through the years that we usually keep a few things out of this traditional post as a surprise for sometime later on in the year. This Module is very far along in development, however we don't want to make guesses as to when it will be released right now. This Module will include US Marines, Ukrainian Airborne, and Russian Airborne forces with the usual awesome Campaigns and Battles that come with all Modules. Oh, and it will be a free Upgrade this time around.Īt a time yet to be determined we're going to give Black Sea a long awaited Module of its own. No firm idea when this will be ready to talk about more, not to mention when we'll release it. We're still planning on doing an Engine 5 Upgrade that focuses on performance improvements. By my count it's three Battle Packs and one Module. In case you haven't, it is that each time we release existing content on Matrix/Steam there will be new content made available for that particular Family of games. At the same time we'll release a new Module that will extend the timeframe through to the end of the war and introduce Commonwealth Forces plus the last ditch forces of the Third Reich.įor those of you playing along at home, you might have noticed a bit of a theme going on here. The Pack focuses on Kampfgruppe Mühlenkamp's attempts to keep the Soviets from moving westward in July 1944.įinal Blitzkrieg for Matrix/Steam (December/January) - last, but not least, the final CM2 Family of games will be released for Matrix/Steam with PBEM and Tournament systems. A simultaneous release of a new Battle Pack is also planned. Red Thunder for Matrix/Steam (September/October) - as you might expect by now, Matrix/Steam with PBEM/Tournament features. A Battle Pack is planned to be released at the same time, the specific focus not being fully nailed down as of yet. Coinciding with this will be a new Battle Pack focusing on early D-Day combat.įortress Italy for Matrix/Steam (June/July) - all titles from the Fortress Italy Family goes out onto Matrix/Steam with the PBEM/Tournament features. Normandy for Matrix/Steam (March/April) - the entire Normandy Family of games will be released on both Matrix and Steam platforms with PBEM/Tournament features included. Any bug fixes and what not that have come up from Cold War development will be rolled in as well. Updated CMSF2 and Black Sea (1st Quarter) - both previously released Matrix/Slitherine CM Families will get the PBEM++ and Tournament systems as free updates. Yup, you can now play for fame, glory, and at times fabulous prizes in a structured environment! Updated Cold War (early February) - this extends the newly implemented PBEM++ system to include Slitherine's automated Tournament system. Think of it as a bonus this year and not a new tradition to expect every year I'm even going to narrow down the timeframe for each release. Therefore, I'll get right to the fun bit of outlining what's coming up in 2022. With that out of the way, I've noticed you guys are pretty much a "that's nice, but what have you done for me lately?" sort of crowd (kinda an inherent gamer trait, eh?). This on top of some significant work on CM2 Pro for our friends in the UK. The latter being our first release supporting Slitherine's PBEM system and laying the groundwork for the related Tournament system. The big highlights were the release of the massive Fire & Rubble Module for Red Thunder and the carefully kept quiet Cold War Base Game. To kick this off, let's review 2021 shall we? It was a busy year for us for sure. It is good fun (though I wouldn't mind some elves, or at least a reindeer with a frick'n laserbeam on its head). ![]() Nah, I'm sure he's as happy to keep doing it as I am doing this. I wonder if Santa Claus ever regrets thinking to himself "maybe it would be nice to make some toys and give them out to a few good children", not realizing it would become a thing for a few hundred years. Since I'm the one that started this tradition I guess I'm on the hook for keeping it going. And a Happy (belated) New Year to you all!Ī few of you have pointed out we have a tradition of summarizing the previous year and letting you know what we've got planned for the new year. ![]()
