Hi all, I just got this update from Paolo at Slitherine...

"Home of Wargamers - 100% Wargames will be on Thursday October 13th, from 17:00 to 19:00 UK time on the Slitherine Twitch channel - https://www.twitch.tv/slitherinetv

Games we will show (new details, new DLC, new titles).

Modern Naval Warfare
Flashpoint Campaigns Southern Storm
Command Modern Operations
Valor & Victory
Strategic Command 
Rule the Waves 3
War in the East 2 - DLC Steel Inferno
Combat Mission
Nuclear War Simulator
Shadow Empire

Let the wargaming season begin

Next week is a big week for hexes and counters. When, in 2010, Slitherine acquired Matrix Games, the gaming world was different; we didn't have a Steam presence, and we had to be very protective with prices and discounts. Finding a new development partner specialized in wargames was still a frequent possibility. We are now here, twelve years later, ready to celebrate wargames in a series of dedicated live streams on twitch, with deep discounts and promotions, and the hope that the development community notices how vibrant and lively this fantastic hobby is.

The event will feature never-seen-before footage for Flashpoint Campaigns Southern Storm, Command Falklands, and War in the East 2 Steel Inferno. There will be interviews, the first showing of Rule the Waves 3, news about the future of Combat Mission and Shadow Empire, and more. We've got promos and discounts across multiple stores, interviews, chats, and social media posts. There is something for everyone who's got a passing interest in the genre and a whole week of happenings for the ones who want to follow everything. We are eager to re-position the Home of Wargames brand so that it genuinely feels like a place to share a passion and discuss it with friends. We'll keep investing in the hobby, it is our responsibility as market leaders, and it's also an ongoing mission for both the company's founders and the new members.

Next week is a celebration, but it's also our message to anyone willing to take on the challenge of learning and loving these types of games. It's undoubtedly not low-hanging fruit; we know it requires patience and interest, time to focus, and disposition. Nevertheless, we can guarantee it's one of the most satisfying passions you could dream of. The sense of achievement in victory, the fulfillment when choosing a good move and the openness and courtesy of the community are rare on today's internet. When I started playing with steam trains, I had only a light interest in the topic. It slowly grew into a profound passion, thanks to a community of hobbyists that welcomed me intending to help me find my place. It's with the same hope that we keep nurturing this place to make it comfortable for every wargamer looking for a home.

Marco Minoli, CMO Slitherine."

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

I was waiting for a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.

Yes you're right. I just got the update in my email and thought I'd get it out for y'all quick. I should have checked before I posted it. :idiot2: Oh well... :-"
