So Monday is the best day to release it.

Monday to do the last minute prep after a couple of days off; and then the rest of the week to fix the stuff that only super geeks (ie users) would find :)

Here is another 8,5/10 from a German mag.

There PR can't be that great when I visit this site twice a day and I have no idea what is about to be released and even what kind of game it is. I did not even know they were planning a 'big' release.

With all due respect, the more saturation you have the more copies of a game you will sell. So you shouldn't rely solely on a game's banner on a single web page. Word has gotten around and I see Panzer Corps posted about on several game forums I frequent.

But rest assured that I will buy Panzer Corps at the earliest possible opportunity.

Bear in mind 2D wargames struggle to get coverage on mainstream sites these days, but PzC has broken some records in that department already!
