Having seen references to Sudden Storm on the blog, I was wondering if there was any update ?Wayne

We are in the final stages and we expect to have the product out No-later-than December. We hope it is sooner but things happen to conspire against us at times. :)

Thank you for the update. I played a weekend campaign based around elements of Plan Orange, but set in 1915.The Japanese take advantage of the collapse of the German Navy and threat in the Pacific, and the allies’ fixation on the Western front to launch a strike against US interests.The Japanese launch assaults against Guam and the Philippines, while some of the older light cruisers go about make nuisances of themselves against US merchant shipping. The land warfare was using a simple risk type game, the highest (adjusted) reroll resulting in the removal of pegs from a board.Guam fell following a reinforced assault. The Philippines action was more like a meat grinder, main due to the Japanese not being able to roll over 2 most of the time, while the US seemed to have a six side die with only 6s on it.We fought several small sharp actions, including a daring but costly charge by US destroyers on a secondary landing in the Philippines, an armoured cruiser clash off Truk, and several attacks on US defences to assist land attacks.The final fleet action only really got started as the week was drawing to a close. All the games were played using 1200th models. We played in a rather splendid village hall in North Devon, with the sea a few hundred yards away.

Whow, from what I've seen so far in the calender, conditions sheet, and the timeline (2 pages no less!), I'm impressed! :) So when are we going to see the rest? From the timeline that's in place right now, there are going to some major US and Japanese units not present due to thier only being in the building and/or planning stages at this point. Not to mention the disposition of major US and Japanese forces being quite differenent from their late 41' to early 42' runs. So again, when do we see the rest? :unsure: Can we also expect to see some stuff related to Mein Panzer later on this subject also? The possiblities are endless! ;) Thanks, Spock1

Sudden Storm should be out soon, and most of the major units of WWII are available in 1937. It really is a surface war period. We do hope to have some Mein Panzer material available for the game eventually.Cheers,Gregory

We may post Order of Battle info so folks cabn see how accessible this conflict is, also some of the "special" early versions of ships have been done as miniatures for us by Panzerschiffes, these are listed in the game.

We have unfortunately run into printing problems, and are working on them now. Hopefully we will see this soon.

Production is delayed due to a serious hiccup at the printer.
