The irony is, of course, that he said he didn't want to throw any premature announcements out there, because they would raise unreasonable expectations in the community, and yet he did and now there are

Space Lobsters?

Years ago, back in the days of CM Shock Force 1 I believe, BF Steve (I believe), with the usual acerbic stabs at the CM fanbase, started saying something like the next game would be 'CM in space' with "Space Lobsters." At first, nobody was sure if it was a joke or not.

I would not think the Russians want a siege, but time will tell I guess.

Russians attempting to besiege/take Kharkiv?

Looks like that is the plan. Hopefully this turns out to be Putin's final lost push...the 'Kaiserschlact' of this war. Hopefully its not just another 'Verdun.'

If those F-16s do show up...they will come in handy.

New post up today releasing a massive amount of content. All 15 titles in the Napoleonic Battles series have received an update today. We believe this takes the series to a whole new level for both players who chose to game against the AI and those who prefer a live opponent. Game play enhancements, data file changes, graphical enhancements as well as documentation. We hope you enjoy all these have to offer.

Space Lobsters: Good. Space Crabs: Very Bad.  I'd kill for an updated Line of Sight tool.

Got an invite to test it a few months ago, notice it appears{?} the game is still in my Steam library. Would be cool if they gave testers a free copy but not counting on it.

Not sure if changed or dependent on the developer, but testing for Matrix/Slitherine, don't believe I ever got a free game after testing, although I think in most cases did get a decent discount.

Matrix used to give free copies.  In fact they sent me two boxed copies of Gary Grisby's War Between the States for being a beta tester.

As mentioned, likely depended on the product you were testing, I for sure tested many games that I only received a discount, not a free game.
