Very nice...  I know Shilovo just came out, but I seriously cannot wait for Mius Front.  Is this a 'Q4' 2013 release, or are we looking at 2014?

I suspect within in the month.
Andrey said they are testing the technology on the new map now,I can only assume that unless some major bug crops up then it is basically finished.

I know they plan to treat Mius Front as the new flagship game for their products and I think they want to iron out some details about how they plan on patching and updating this new game for the future so that it doesn't become the same nightmare that APOS/GTOS has become.

Hopefully they have found a viable solution.
I think if the patching and updating becomes more user friendly they may end up doing very well here in the west with this game.

It would be nice to actually go to the forums and discuss tactics and strategy instead of trying to help people figure out why their game isn't running properly.

It's a great game at an affordable price,but a few things are definitely holding it back from reaching its full potential.

I had no idea it was near completion.  Excellent news.

If Graviteam can get their act together and streamline the updating / patching system, like you suggest, that would indeed be a huge leap forward.  Such an amazing game, and no question the abstruse installation/patching process keeps it from reaching a wider audience.  (It will always be a niche game, true, but I have no doubt the notorious technical issues scare potential players away, and not without reason.)

Yeah,it is an amazing game.
Also very niche.WW2 isn't as popular with wargamers as it once was since by todays standards the technology used to fight that war is pretty dated.The new generation of wargamers want new technology or future generation hardware to game with and the market for WW2 shrinks with each passing year.WW2 stuff just doesn't look as cool as it used to 20-30 yrs. ago.

Flashburn over on the Graviteam forums wants to expand this series onto the West Front starting with a Tunisia 42- 43 project featuring American,Brit and German forces in the Mejez valley outside of Tunis.
He started on the project a year ago but He ran out of steam because there are a few items that He can't do that need to be contracted out.Graviteam said they would help him if He went the kickstarter route and drummed up some more cash to get the ball rolling.

I was very enthused with the project and some other people showed interest but I don't know how interested anyone else would be with the project if they had to fork over some upfront cash first.Realistic WW2 tactical games don't seem to be what the kickstarter crowd is interested in buying.And judging by the response to this game over here on Grogheads,unless FB did some kind of modern Arab Israeli or India Pakistan type game I doubt the interest will be very promising around these parts either.

Here's a link to what FB wants to do over on the Graviteam forum.
