Rob your next stop will be the Aegean

[KG_Jag]

Yes Panther Games, who brought us Highway to the Reich ([U]see[U] banner above), have announced that their next game will be Conquest of the Aegean. Here's a link to where this is addressed at the Wargamer:

I am wringing my hands in anticipatin over this one. From the interview;

BTL: When COTA is finished what will Panther Games work on next?

DO: Next cab off the rank is Battle from the Bulge ( BFTB ). All the maps bar one are done. Most of the research into units, estabs, order of battles etc is also done. We’re hopeful we can release BFTB around six months after COTA’s release – though I desperately need a holiday ;)

We have now set up five Data Design Teams ( DDTs ) to focus on developing the data content for our upcoming titles, thereby freeing us to focus on engine development. The West Front team is working on BFTB. We have East Front, North African and Pacific teams focusing on WW2 and a Modern team looking at doing a modern warfare version.

Our aim is to release one new title every six months or so, each with one new BIG feature. The big new feature for BFTB will be Minefields and Road blocks and the engineering tasks to clear them. For the first in the East Front series we will do Soviet doctrine; for North Africa the new feature will be vehicle breakdown and recovery; for the Pacific it will be offmap fire support and for the Modern it will be helicopters.

So who here besides KG_AGCent and myself actually play this? It is a good game system. Easy to play tcp too.

[KG_AGCent]

Too few people have looked up from their CM games to give it a fair shake.

[KG_Jag]

I've dabbled with it since the first edition concerning Normandy. But unless my clone can play, or I can figure out a way to function without sleep (or maybe a family), there just isn't much time left to learn it well enough to play it at any decent level.

So many games...so little time....

[KG_AGCent]

Who the hell cares about playing at a decent level, just play! One evening, a little here, another evening a little there. You can save the game at any time when playing head to head and resume it later.

I quite enjoy playing it whether online or solo. Once I've reduced my load of CM games (don't ever do what I did, 16+ games on the go at once is enough to fry anyone's brains! ) I want to get a few h2h games played.

[KG_AGCent]

Dude... 16 games is in-friking-sane. No wonder your suffering burnout. Anytime your ready, come to Teamspeak and we'll do a HTTR game.

Id love to try them them sometime. but then, someone is also trying to get me to play Panzer Campaigns too. I dont have time for both, which one should it be guys? Or, should i get both anyway and play one and hope i have time for the other? lol.

[KG_Jag]

Kent as an old board game counter pusher, you should try the Panzer Campaign Series.
