Sicuramente uno degli scenari più interessanti per AJE fino ad adesso.

Calendario uscite invernali Matrix Games

La Matrix ha rilasciato il calendario delle uscite ufficiali per questo inverno:

Ageod American Civil War II uscirà il 17 settembre

Questo prevedo di acquistarlo.

Command Modern Air/Naval Operations è previsto per il 24 settembre

Su questo non sono sicuro; sarà un gioco complesso da dedicarsi totalmente, aspetterò qualche review prima di decidere.

España 1936 esce il 1mo ottobre. 

Per questo aspetterò un po' di più, magari qualche offerta.

Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm esce l'8 ottobre

Questo è sicuramente mio

Fantasy Kommander: Eukarion Wars esce il 15 Ottobre

No il genere non mi interessa, anche se fatto da italiani. Ho già Eador 2 che mi soddisfa più che ampiamente dal lato fantasy

Alea Jacta Est - Parthian Wars è previsto per il 24 ottobre. 

Si anche questo lo prenderò. Lo sfondo storico è davvero interessante. 

Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager Early Access esce il 29 ottobre.

No di questo non me ne frega nulla

World in Flames esce il 7 Novembre

Finalmente era ora.

Pandora First Contact esce il 14 Novembre.

Manco di questo mi frega qualcosa.

Insomma un inverno ricco di uscite
