Yeah, looked upthread, it has always been June 4th.

Apparently my brain read that as "weekend yay!" and then from there "NEXT weekend, yay!" by a form of osmosis.  :buck2:

(Note to self: by "next weekend" I do NOT mean it's coming next weekend, dolt!)

Whhhhyyy! Why did I think it would be out today, whhhhyyy?!
Maybe you confused/conflated it with the Persia DLC for Field of Glory: Empires?  It would certainly be understandable if you had.

tomorrow's the day...not sure how well it will click with me, but since different, likely a purchase anyway, assuming reasonable price....i'll guess $49.99.

Hoping $39.99. But I will also be purchasing.
Insert witty comment here.

This game and Grand Tactician are the two "non negotiable" releases of 2020.

Both innovative with it appears huge repeatability.

Today is yet another day when I can be grateful I am retired early (and healthy enough to enjoy it !)

As for price I am expecting £34.99 ....around 40 US.....we shall see...

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

i hope my guess on price is wrong.....gladly willing to be wrong on that:)  the previous games were $39.99 so i was just thinking this one may get the "extra special" tag with a higher price....we'll see in a couple of hours.  i'll admit if it is 49.99 or higher, it likely will pause my purchase....not because of it being a bad game, just not sure how i am going to enjoy it because not my normal stuff and outside my knee jerk impulse buy range:)

Only thing to give me pause would be a WITE price, which i don't think will be the case. I'm not usually an early adopter, except for games done by developers i'm a fan boy of, and Vic is on the short list.

Wonder if there will be any discount codes for day one buys or for people who own ALL of Vic's other games?
edit: doesn't matter, bought it anyway.

The game is out now?  Where's my wallet?
