If everyone doesn't know what it is by now, I think you should get your eyes checked!:):):)

Hi Guys

Love the look of the new game looks fantastic - will the new game be released over here in the UK? I only ask because I dont believe Bull Run was ever released over here and I had to wait for TC2M - which I adore

Keep up the good work something to look forward to in 2009!!! http://www.norbsoftware.com/Portal/medi ... Valley.jpg[/img_size]

The new game will be available by download, so you should be able to get it anywhere. At this point I do not know if it will be available in stores or not. We are just working on getting it out on one avenue, everything else can come later.

Norb, if you use steam, they can set it up so that everyone can preload it so that when the game is released, a midnight release right:):):), the game unlocks and people are playing. Just a little thought...

Really looking forward to this game. I will push the ACW club hard to accept this new game for club play. Since after years of only HPS games allowed the club has approved two new strategic level games I would hope they will approve a potential "real time" game. As far as I am concerned a game like this could bring the club together with live combat.

I think I found there site. http://www.wargame.ch/wc/acw/ It looks pretty good, they seem to have a really good organizational setup going on.

I will let Gen. Pete varify that this is the correct place, but it looks like it would be a good place to put the demo.

Even with a town being prominent in the screenies we've seen and the soundtract from Gettysburg being used for the sneak peak there was still a tiny part of me thinking "This could end up being Antietam!" :laugh:

I'm a member in the club and it's a lot of fun, with good guys. But it is primarily a PBEM club and even though they've added other games then the Tiller ones, they still can be played PBEM. Most of the guys like the fact that they can sit down at their leisure, make their moves, and get on with the day in a short period of time. The Tiller games can be played in a hot seat fashion, yet it's rarely done.

That's not to say the guys wouldn't like or play the game, in fact there were different threads about TC2M a few times. And maybe with a good MP system in place it would catch on. A lot of the guys like MP PBEM games so you never know....

I'll be playing MP with this crew either way.;)
