Sit back in your armchair, grab a beer, and prepare to play some of the best strategy games of the year. Autumn is here and it's never too early to start planning your Christmas list! We're here to help with a list of great games releasing before the end of the year (and there may even be a few additional surprises thrown in!)
Civil War II - 17 September 2013
Command Modern Air/Naval Operations - 24 September 2013
España 1936 - 1st October
Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm - 8th October
Fantasy Kommander: Eukarion Wars - 15th October
Alea Jacta Est - Parthian Wars - 24 October 2013
Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager Early Access - 29 October 2013
World in Flames - 7 November 2013
Pandora First Contact - 14 November 2013
The only titles that interest me are Civil War II (assuming it has a friendlier interface than the first) and Buzz Aldrin's Punch In The Face.

Civil War II looks good, but so does Flashpoint Campaigns.
Flashpoint Campaigns has my interest - the modern naval game probably later on...and the complaining has already started. :'(
...and we are working like mad to hit our gold mark to release on the 8th. Nothing like a deadline, manuals in the works, a few stubborn bugs, and limited free time to really get the stomach acid churning. ;)
We hope Flashpoint Campaigns has a lot of peoples interest. 8)
Plus we need to ship so I can play some Command and XCOM Enemy Within is around the corner too.

The time frame and location hold a lot of personal interest for me so it's kind of a "must" buy.
That's quite a release schedule. :o
A majority of those are also on my want list. :D
Red Storm FTW!!!111! 8)

World in Flames - 7 November 2013
lol
I don't know...there are games there I've been looking forward to but I'm waking up to the reality I won't play (but likely buy)
World in Flames
Civil War II (had the first and never played it but heard great things)
Flashpoint Campaigns:Red Storm (I still hate the colour of the water!)
Command Modern Air/Naval Operations
So given Slitherine/Matrix price structure I'm looking to layout and waste £200 ;)

I hope guys will forgive us if our support response has a "slight" lag between Oct 8 - 10 ;D
will get Command Modern Air/Naval Operations on release :)
the only malus: ...i may probably slacking off on FC:RS Beta ...that should not happen!
damned RL >:( ...i squeeze the time needed from there ;)
without breaking any NDA, i can only say: FC:RS Highly recommended !
I'm definitely looking forward to Pandora, and possibly España as well.
I note, with mild disappointment, that Sovereignty isn't on that list. However, a 2013 release date was probably never realistic anyway.
For me it will be Parthian wars and Pandora.

Martok -- there may still be hope for Sovereignty. They did include this little bit of a teaser: "and there may even be a few additional surprises thrown in!"
I think I'm going to have to whittle my want list down a bit:
Civil War II - 17 September 2013
Command Modern Air/Naval Operations - 24 September 2013
España 1936 - 1st October
Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm - 8th October
Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager Early Access - 29 October 2013
Pandora First Contact - 14 November 2013
Command - eventually - i think i have enough for now
where the hell is Lock and Load?
^ +1
It didn't even strike me that wasn't on there! I was SURE that was guaranteed this summer!
^^ Far as I know.... it's still scheduled for this year....
grumble grumble grumble lazy ass beta testers grumble
grumble grumble grumble spoiled instant gratification generation grumble....
shakes fist
mutter mutter mutter cheeky no goddam respect for the customer mutter mutter
digs out water cannon
tut tut tut back away from the fence....
lol - i didnt know we were allowed implements
Looks like another attempt at being spiritual successor to Fantasy General on the way, too. Can't say I care for the unit art style (which confuses my eyes on the map for some reason), but I appreciate the attempt! -- the last one (Fantasy Wars/Elven Legacy, by a different design team) worked very well.

THE VIDEO -- IT DOES NOTHING!! :) (Except give some story flavor, no gameplay.)
I've been hearing from people that Pandora is almost an exact replica of Alpha Centauri. The buzz is not overly positive and one person even said "It is Alpha Centauri without the soul or spirit. Functional but soulless."
I think I will wait on impressions, sad to say.
Buzz Aldrin's Space Program might be fun, although the "early access" thing makes me a little chagrined. Whee... a paid alpha... like so many other paid alphas.
I'm certainly in on Command Modern Air/Naval Operations.
