-Any release date?
Still can't be more specific than "Summer 2014". When we are a few weeks into the beta hopefully we can get a more accurate estimate.
-Any date for the beta?
The Beta build is completed so we're just waiting for the installer to be created and tested and then we're good to go.
-Any idea of the price?
-Any steam release?
Both of these questions still have to be discussed properly with Slitherine/Matrix so can't comment on it yet.
-Any chance to see new screenshots or videos?
We've been super busy with the Beta preparations so nothing in the pipeline at the moment. But hopefully we can do some stuff like AARs and Beta footage soon!

As I sayd sorry to bother you. I'm just really impatient about this game.

Summer 2014 sounds good to me^^

Yea I can imagine, I work in video game industry to, so I know how a milestone can be hard for a dev team.

I hope to play it this week.

The installer has been completed & tested so with some luck the beta will start before the weekend!

Note that we will only invite a small number of testers during this first stage, but more will be added over the next few weeks/months. So for those who don't get picked right away, no worries - the chance of being included in one of the following beta stages should only increase.

I hope to be part of the first wave.

Just to let you all know the beta started earlier today. We've only added ~20 people for now so it was a very limited selection. So far no significant problems have come up meaning we might move to the second phase in about a week and add another batch of testers. If you didn't make it into the first group, better luck next week(s)!

Seems like i missed it as well. To bad, the first parts of the Beta tends to be the most intense ones where you can catch the strangest bugs. ;) Good luck with the testing. On the positive side: more time for me to waste with watching football games. :P

summer just started as well as beta first stage , and with the slow down vacation coming up i guess we will see order of battle out by the end of september if beta testing not showing too many bugs.
anyway i'm very pleased about this and hope to be picked in future beta test, (no hard feeling if not)
keep up the good work with nice product like this

It's been discussed but it's not going to happen. For a big title like this which is supposed to establish a new series (Order of Battle) we have to get it right from the first time. First impressions are very important - and we only get one chance - so we only want to release it as a fully completed product.

Hi team, how's it going? I know you guys must be super busy right now, but I don't see any posts about the game since June...
Am I looking in the wrong place? Are there any AAR's published, screen shots, updates?
Thanks.

Best places for news on the game are here and on our facebook page. We've focusing all our attention on the beta test at the moment though, so not much public news has gone out recently.

The third beta phase will start in about a week, unlocking multiplayer. Perhaps we can do a (MP) AAR some time after that.
