I had to e-mail the dev, but I got my Steam key today.  Looking forward to trying it out after I find the main Fantasy General 2 campaign.

It's coming out, at last! This Friday, no less.

After a long beta phase - so you can bet it's pretty stable and debugged by now  O0

^ It's on my wishlist. Looking forward to this one and something my old PC rig can handle.

I have been quite involved in the beta testing and must say that it is looking really good. It definitely fills a niche in the wargaming world. On its surface (no pun intended) it might look like a basic hex and counter game, but the tactical intricacies, fog of war and damage simulations under the hood makes it something with far more depth (again no pun intended). I wasn't into Carrier battle games until I tried this on iOS but it got me hooked.

I have only played it a little bit, but so far I agree with you.

Is this the same game as the AAR you did?

Pretty stoked on this, especially since Carrier Strike has stopped scratching my itch.  Carrier Strike has some limitations that have sort of run me into a non-play status.

I'm sure Carrier Battles will be a purchase.  Friday?  Maybe...

Alas, I was not one of the lucky winners :(  (Apparently the Admiral can not be bribed with a few measly euros. :tickedoff:) 

Release is in a couple hours.  Saw this quote from one of the devs about price.

Quote from: AvalonDigital;2245553353027850727Normalement 24.99€  / Normal Price is $29.99

There will be an interesting Release Discount during the first week though

Normal release day/week discounts are ~10% off.  I wonder how much an "interesting" discount will be?

Awwww too bad :(
My apologies Steve :(

Regarding the discount, I am pretty sure they mean the aforementioned 10% affair.

Cheers!
