Hi,

As today is the last day of the meteorological summer (at least it is
in civilized parts of the world), the slow season for wargaming draws
to a close. With dark and gloomy days ahead it's good to look ahead at
what the various publishers still have lined up for us this year so we
can try to keep our tan by basking in the bright glow of our CRT. Most
of the following titles should see a release this year :

Lone developer ... the fact that last month's "Armchair General"
magazine had an add for it is - for me at least - an indicator that the
game is nearly finished.

Well, quiet a lot of activity recently - a new guy has taken over the
project and he certainly wasted no time getting things going again.
