Well, it's about damn time they add Rommel's DAK to Panzer Corps. I'll probably buy it now.

or, y'know, they could've poured the money from that hotel into some decent back end software on their websites.

Well, that or to pay their employees. One quit because he hadn't had a raise in a couple of years.

Makes ya wonder, doesn't it?

I got news that Slitherine had just secured a co-branding deal with the History Channel. They paid good money to get the BBC's logo on one of their games. I suspect the same deal here.

Well if they got the History Channel then I fully expect a Swamp People, Ax Men, Pawn Stars and American Pickers game releases.  God knows the history channels doesn't actually show any history programing any more.

Remember, Slitherine is well known for its wargaming classic, Ice Road Truckers, so I'm sure you're right about that.

As much as I love Swamp People, I'm not convinced Swamp People The FPS is going to be better than IRT. However Pawn Stars the RPG? That sounds like a winner. Especially if I get to work the night shift with Peaches.

Slitherine has been co-branding with the History Channel for a while.

(And not overly good games, either.)


I'm more curious about the final CC game: a hint that there will be a new engine soon? (THANK GOD!!) And what would Panthers in the Fog be? They've already covered (the update of) Bulge. Could it be a totally new game on the old engine, somewhere that hasn't been gamed much? Invasion of Norway maybe?  (Would other '39/early 40 campaigns make any sense with that title?)
