I've heard enough from other developers so this news doesn't come as a shock.

Hopefully Panther and customers will benefit from the split.

I'm not going to speculate about anything - but I will say this - the place changed when Slitherine came on board. I noticed a huge change in the forums and the attitude.

I don't really take any pride in saying that - because I hope Matrix go on for many years - but the change was palpable and I left not that long after...it just wasn't the same and I'm sorry - I just can't put my finger on it.

I have no idea why Panther are leaving and it's likely nothing to do with my thoughts here.

Panther's boardgame Trial of Strength is getting a reprint.

Some of us even have draft copies of the new rules.
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.

Good for LnL Publishing.  It's only good for the hobby to have multiple companies working to publish and develop wargames.

Any sense of a possible release date? Sooner rather than later, I hope :)

It's been re-written (by someone on these boards, no less. No, not me.) and is back in Dave's hands for proofing.

As for a release date - I don't even have a hint. The good news is the game has been published once. I suspect we'll see updated maps and graphics for the counters, but the basic designs (and hard work) have already been done.

Awesome. Thanks, LB. I'll definitely be picking it up when it's ready.
