Welcome to our fourth newsletter! With the start of the summer, we would like to bring you some news on the project, as it is entering in the late stages of development.

Release of the Computer Game
We have decided to run a survey (see below our last post in the Dev blog) in order to get the feedback of the players on what decision to take regarding the release date of the game.

War & Peace release option - A Survey

Date of release of the digital game
|
It seems the recent trend of the survey is going toward an immediate release this summer.
|
|
We had selected initially the date of August 15th (Napoleon’s birthday) for the release, but it is not really convenient because of the holiday in certain countries and also because having a little bit more time will be useful for us.
|
|
There, should the game survey show a majority for this summer release, the date will be August 20th.

War and Peace - Late pledge
|
|
|
The classic board game War and Peace comes alive on your computer. Be Napoleon – or stand against him – in a series of short scenarios that cover the epic battles of the age from 1796 on, or in a grand campaign that may – or may not – end on the field of Waterloo. The videogame War and Peace will be released only on Steam. See the original Kickstarter campaign here.

$30.00

News of the Boardgame Reprint
Based on the order collected during the Kickstarter campaign and those registered since then on the website PREORDERS page (see it here), we can give you the following tally.
|
Upgrade kit#1 (counters) : 176
Upgrade kit#1 (cards) : 178
Upgrade kit# 6th to 7th Edition : 173
Complete 7th Edition Print : 192
|
|
The reprint goal remain at 500 units (per item), so we still some road ahead of us. This said, if the full game 7th Edition print reaches the target, then the upgrade kits will also be made, whatever their preorders.

Meeting with Mark
We are pleased to inform you that the development team in France will have the pleasure to meet with game design Mark McLaughlin on next Saturday September 9th during his European tour.
We’ll be in Lyon, France, enjoying some nice exchange and a few French treats that the Emperor himself would have liked.

Article published in The General, Vol. 17, 1980 (see also this PDF). By Mark G. McLaughlin To many, war is the crashing sound of multiengined Allied bombers devastating German cities, the noiseless prowl of U-Boats seeking heavilyladen North Atlantic tankers or the grinding might of the panzer armies crushing their way across the endless Russian steppes. There are some of …
