Any idea at all?

How about tomorrow? :)

i've been waiting a long time for a descent Napoleonic boardgame with miniatures & not cardboard chits. I am all over this.

 According to the site, it says Spring 2010 and that it is still being printed.

Looks like an early Summer release - maybe Origins, I just hope it is out before Gen Con Indy. But this has been a pattern with FFG to release games at Cons so they get full price for them.

And i wonder if they are trying to get this out before GMT games Command & Colours Napoleonics by Richerd Borg hits the shelves.

I have to say - this boardgame looks a lot prettier. The GMT game is going to have wooden block (like Ancients) instead of miniatures.

Here's hoping for Spring...

Lads, I cannot wait for this game!

Maybe that the game system will be easily customizable for others times of strife(medieval, ancients, etc).

Its time for revenge.

Lets attack aggressively!

This game looks awsome, I hope it gets the same kind of support with future releases & expansions as other FFG games have recieved.

I always thought it was a shame that BattleCry never recieved any kind of support, although this game looks like a vast improvement on that system.

This one is a "must have" for me! Great to see it nearing completion!

Young, Rodger W., Private, 148th Infantry, 37th Infantry Division (the Ohio Buckeyes) born Tiffin, Ohio, 28 April 1918 died 31 July 1943, on the island of New Georgia, Solomons, South Pacific, while singlehandedly attackingdestroying an enemy machine-gun pillbox. His platoon had been pinned down by intense fire from this pillbox Private Young was wounded in the first burst. He crawled toward the pillbox, was wounded a second time but continued to advance, firing his rifle as he did so. He closed on the pillbox, attackeddestroyed it with hand grenades, but in so doing he was wounded a third timekilled.
       His boldgallant action in the face of overwhelming odds enabled his teammates to escape without loss; he was awarded posthumously the Medal of Honor.

If it's still a few months off release, that'll give me time to save up for it!
Still, if there's a Richard Borg Napoleonic game coming out ...

I had heard elsewhere that this is due to be on the shelves very soon; I would not be surprised to see it by end of March.

GMT Games just recently said they have not yet given C&C: Napoleonics a production slot this year, but it has already exceeded its P-500 number by a long ways currently at 933 pre-orders. Right now, their artists are still working on all the art for the game (per GMT's Feb. 9 update). Full retail for GMT's game is $70, btw.

Ohhh Yeah! My eyes went wide and the heart started to thump!

Likewise I liked Battle Cry and thought they could have done more with that. This however has unlimited potential if anyone is familiar with the period and scope of actions...did I hear someone thinking....Campaign System!!! :-)
