Where is the new Panzer Command? Where is the new Command Ops? Where is Storms of Steel and Price of Honor for COH? Where is there something for wargamers?

There should be news on Storm of Steel later.

On Panzer Command, we're finishing up a new update and a new demo - the next release is still in the planning stages so not ready for announcement.

Regarding being underwhelmed - I think once you see some more info on these releases rather than just titles, that may change.

Me too. However I wasn't expecting anything mind blowing as I trawl the net everyday looking for new wargames in development or hinted at that may come to the Slitherine\Matrix stable and come up empty.

It's the lack of original, innovative new wargames that disappoints. I'm not talking just here but everywhere.

... and you can determine this from titles? I'm sorry, but given what has already been announced, what was announced today and what I know is still in the works, I think your tune is likely to change if you give each of these a good look.

Interesting list, Erik. I'm still from Missouri on tablets and non-PC hardware, but it's been predicted for awhile now so we'll see how it goes demand-wise.

Let me echo what are probably coming posts from The Most Active Forum on MatrixGames (tm) --any chance of a WITP2 this decade? Come on over to the AE forum. Lots of folks will discuss pricing elasticities with you. Also first-borns.

Heck more games than I'll be able to play in my lifetime that's for sure.

Erik most of the new titles are either games being made on a different format or sequels to games already out. Thats what I ment. I count three games in the list that are new games. Sov, Legends and Pandora. The rest are to me more of the same and I have no interest in nor can I get excited about them (except maybe Vics game, again it's a sequel and something we already knew about). For the last year or more I feel it's been pretty barren as far as great NEW wargames go. I'm talking about new games i.e not remakes\expansions or re imaginings.

This isn't a dig at Slitherine\Matrix at all. You can't magic wargame developers out of thin air. It's more a case of searching the net for new games in this genre and not really finding anything. I have read Command Naval\Airwarfare are looking for publishers. Now that would be something thats lacking here, we have Harpoon but a new Naval game would fit very well into your stable of games.

And yet they sell like hotcakes. What are you, some kind of anti-capitalist socialist?!

WITP2 is half done already. It needs a different sort of team than AE had, but the bones are already there.

Ditto

IMHO there are growing markets for large (or monster) strategy games with emphasis on historical accuracy.

Get a new "Game engine", not a rebore of an old one, and be the best on the block, not just "another game company"

I second Blacksheep's CNA and add a Div level Western Front WW2 but not on the WITE engine.

New Game engines is what we want. Not mediocre ones or budget ones either. Top draw new games that become up there as all time classics. Thats what I want to see. I'm still waiting on a new classic tactical game. We've had two classic monster games and a classic operational game from Matrix, no classic tactical game yet though.

With Slitherine acquiring the Close Combat license, this will be the last Close Combat on the original engine, with a new Close Combat coming out in the near future utilizing a new engine.

The graphical detail in Panthers in the Fog has been updated to 32-bit, with an improved UI as well, along with Slitherine's integrated multiplayer lobbies.

Projected release is 2013, with a release on both the Mac and PC. In the not-too-distant future the series will move to the iPad tablet.

It will have an in-game tutorial to help introduce players to the game.
