It is a Slitherine/Matrix published game for sure, have seen the demo last April in Italy at the designer meeting, impressive stuff.

Hey! It's coming out for PS3 as well. Wonder how it would look and play on a 40'' screen?

"One of the most exciting and realistic war games ever created" ... Yeah right - with health bars. If this were any other industry people would be suing them all over the place for misrepresentation.

And this...

Turn-based strategy games are taking over the world of video gaming, and this one shows us why. With an arsenal of powerful weaponry, detailed maps, and in-depth, strategic moves, HISTORY ® Legends of War: Patton holds top rank in war games!

Tells me they may be trying to kick it out the door as fast as possible on the coat tails of XCOM. Which may mean ....

^^Zulu I'm all for living off the coat tails of XCOM.  It will mean more TBS titles for the console, something which I'm very excited about.  Ok so maybe they might be dumbed down TBS games but if I want to play something intelligent I can play that on my PC.

Absolutely - if its as good as XCOM - not a problem - I was reticent as it seemed in some way they were rushing it - given the complete lack of info at their publishers.

Well yes - it at least appears there they are admitting ownership and a release date. Although there are still only two posts.

sounds like the release of the other TBS WW2 mega realistic tosh they put out and then the developer abandoned it
