If you ask me, starting a thread on an upcoming game and just saying this:

ALEA JACTA EST is AGEOD's Roman game covering mid/late Republic, releasing on 9/22.

It does look like an interesting game.  Having not played any of AGEOD's games before could someone give me a quick run down of how their game play works.

I'd hop over to the Ageod site and read some of the AARs from the era you like best American Civil War, Revolutionary War, Prussian-Franco War, WW1 whatnot.  That would honestly be the easiest and best way to get a feel for the gameplay.

Does 'old and salty' = 'crafty veteran'?

I believe so.
Kere's another Press release:

   
Hearts of Iron III: Their Finest Hour expansion
Spies! Leaders! Naval landings! We weren't planning for Hearts of Iron III: Their Finest Hour expansion to focus on the sexiest aspects of WWII, but it's kind of worked out that way. Detailed espionage will let players green light covert operations, your military commanders will gain traits and, with them, personalities, and naval landings can now be planned down to specialised assault craft. But this is just the start- we've also got new elite units for each nation (Rangers! Gurkhas!) and a new game mode letting players start with a clean slate and drop straight into the business of producing units and technology. Simulation's great and all, but sometimes you just want to run a war.

Release date: 26th of September

i can almost guarantee i have 'live' sex Bismark, what you do with dead/undead things is entirely up to you  :P

on a side note, i guess 2 guys have tried to have a bit of banter with you as part of the 'fun' atmosphere here - fine, you dont want to play, maybe just a polite moment of silence instead of a snarky comment about someone you dont know eh?  ::)

Sometime's Bismark's sense of humor can be very dry.... but it's still humor. An emoticon or two couldn't hurt, however. ;)

Sounds like a solid idea, I'll give it a shot.

I thought Bizzies' comeback was pretty funny.

Chill out, it was a joke.  :(

Speaking of jokes, can anyone translate that title for me?

I can't help but think it sounds dirty.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
