Slitherine releases news that VR is working on his next DC game, releasing next year!
One of the more interesting points is that Victor is dropping the idea of persistent ownership of hexes (aside from bases).
We broke this news on November 27. It's true what they say...nobody reads the front page. :'(

Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa is still among my top-5 all time favorite wargames, so I'm very excited to see how Ardennes Assault evolves the formula.
What's the front page?

Any comments on how good this game is?
I liked the game, but have only played smaller scenarios. IMHO, it does a good job of portraying some of the issue at the battalion scale, and is one of the few WWII games that I am aware of that operates on that scale. The AI is good. Steam reviews are positive, but only 33 of them. However, some in depth reviews have been pretty positive.

It is truly excellent.
Changes made are all positive - cannot recommend highly enough.
I played for about a week and only stopped because I couldn't figure out how to use antitank guns. Kept getting a -90+ % modifier. The matrix forums were fairly dead for some reason.
Bob, are you remembering to load them with shells (not cow patties) AND point them at the enemy tanks? Both of those steps are critical. 8)
