Then why the lack of any movement for months in this forum?
This is an old artical as can be seen by the date of the first letter - FRI DEC 28, 2018 9:13 PM
And still nothing on these forums
Im going to sound like an old record thats stuck and keeps plying the same thing over and over
The main thing that put me off (and still does ) is the lack of a decent tutorial
I know zakblood dosnt like me going on about it but i am as sure as can be that is the reason this game never took off

Using the Buy Now tab above takes you to a dead link and a 404 error....sad I really liked this game.
Was sure this would come up again - there were a few things that would have helped like a good tutorial.
I believe some significant health issues have made it not possible for the developer to continue at this time.
Tutorial needed ok, but that does not mean it is not an excellent game. If the effort is made to learn the game you are well rewarded.
But enough of this we have all gone over the same arguments many times and have not resolved them and I doubt we would now. I think all Zakblood wanted to do is to just recognize that the game is seen as a good one with many innovations in coverage of the civil war. The sad part for people like me is that it is not looking like the series we wanted so badly will go on. But a great series with improvements and sure a tutorial it would have been one of the best Civil War series of all time.

I had high hopes that I could get those in the ACWGC to be interested in the game since they were the most likely customer base. But they seem to be stuck in the JT style games dating from the 90's and wouldn't take to the change. I wrote my own game hoping that a "free" game that expanded the detail of JT board game on a computer would draw some interest. None.
Now, for me BoB won't even work for PBEM so I have given up on it too.

I loved Forge of Freedom and wan't to get their next game but the scenario selection completely turned me off. I can't imagine a main scenario I would have liked less than First Bull Run. They really needed to have a main scenario that would draw players to buy the game. There's at least a dozen major battles other than Gettysburg (way too much to bite off on first try) that I would have happily bought the game for.
