I don't see anything on this on the Panther games website so is this confirmed?

Also would like to know what this means for availability of the med campaigns as well as any news or updates on command ops 2.0 since I see a screen shot for this

Thanks

It's confirmed. Got it direct from LNLP and Arjuna also announced it on their forums late last night

Double confirmed. I was in the room with Panther at LnL's HQ about two weeks ago.
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.

Sorry I haven't had time to update our website yet. But I can confirm that LNL is our new publisher for both board and digital games. It's good to be working with David Heath again. I am sure he and his team will give us the best marketing support. I have a few things to attend to here in Canberra after arriving back from six weeks in North America. But I will be getting back into the coding shortly for Command Ops 2 (CO2). I'll be releasing some screenshots and details about the new CO2 features on Lock 'n' Load (LNL) website over the coming days.

The basic plan at this stage is to release the CO2 engine and then the Mediterranean (Med), Knock on all Doors (KOAD) and Westwall packs in short order over the coming months. I'm not going to give precise timings for release. But I can say that the Med and KOAD packs are basically done. They may need a few tweaks once the CO2 engine is done. The Westwall pack has most of its scenarios done but needs playtesting.

Congrats on the new publisher. One question, i thought the med pack was an addon for CO1? From your post it almost sounds like its for the CO2 engine.

Thanks for the replies I totally feel like a nudge because reading your reply I have so many more questions. I also recognize that you guys are working on these projects and it's unfair to ask questions when you have not committed to launch dates etc.

My 2cents though is I would provide if possible a clear path of what you will be releasing and for which platform as soon as possible.  This will help for those like me to clarify what you are doing (ie is med pack next and with co1 etc)

Lastly without painting yourself into a corner will you be entertaining some sort of loyalty program for those who want to upgrade from first gen command ops?

Thanks

I thought you gave up that strippergram gig?
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

How about giving Dave a stickied thread for people to post questions and for him to answer?

Like you guys are going to let this fall past the first 5-8 threads on the page!  :2funny:

SQUEEEEEONNNKK!!

(Like a squee. But more masculine.)

Regarding the Med, the expansion pack for Command Ops only covered half the material from Conquest of the Aegean; presumably this is the other half?
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Okay, I actually laughed out loud on that one. You're a cruel man, but fair. :-)

So thats where Mr Heath went!!

Now I understand this move more. Seems Panther Dave and David Heath prob had a great relationship which was missed once the merger (Slitherine buy out) happened and David either wanted to go without saying bye on the forum or something else... Personally Matrix forum\community lost something after the merger..not sure what.

What would be excellent for us wargamers is if LnL become another big player in publishing wargames both board and digital and Slitherine has abit of competition and we get even more wargames!!

Anyway onwards and upwards. Hope it's big success for both parties and we finally get CO 2 East Front:)
