Matrixgames to publish Lock'n Load WWII

[Guest]

Hi,

Matrixgames are for the very first time entering the boardgame world
and will publish the new WWII version/module of the award winning squad
level boardgame.

This must come as a bit of a blow for Shrapnel who seemed just as eager
to expand their portfolio and were hinting at major announcements in
the weeks/months to come.

Greetz,

Eddy Sterckx

Now that explains a lot.

Hi Eddy.

We turned down the Lock 'N Load series last June. So no, not a shock at
all. We still have many exciting announcements around the corner. Good
luck to Matrix on this.

I think Shrapnel had first shot at that one. Maybe they passed because they
already have a few boardgames coming out.

And Ive been seeing alot of announcements from Shrapnel lately than Matrix.

But hey, thats a good game for Matrix to carry. Seems like all of the non-
retail-store model publishers are adding boardgames to their catalogs.
Interesting trend.
