Dear Backers
while we are waiting for final details about volume of the delivery to finalize papers for the shipment a little teaser of the print of the map of MARE NOSTRUM. The manufacturer has a super modern Heidelberger print mashine. We booked the container for the 15th of June, so in a couple of days. I will let you know when the games are loaded and when we expect them to arrive. Delivery papers for your orders are ready and wait to be put on the boxes and handed over to DHL!

Dear Backers!
We checked all the components of this huge game project and did some fine tuning and corrections. We will also upgrade some components. As we speak, the bulk production finally starts. We are very excited. As the manufacturer did a fine job peparing the print, the manufacturing will only take two weeks. We will book a container the next days.
Have a look on the boxes of the game series. We will post more images this week, follow us also on facebook:

Dear Backers
finally we can send some pictures of the preproduction samples! As the games and the expansions contain more than 80 different items we need to check and will post more exciting pictures! But I think, this little update sweetens the weekend at least a little bit.
Isn't the map of Mare Nostrum a beauty? You will also see some of the wooden blocks for Expansion #3, New Armies!
Marc did a fantastic job and gave each faction great individual graphics!
Have a nice weekend, watch out for more images next week!!
"Archimedes" solitaire system & Vassal

Dear subscribers and backers,
I hope, you all do well.
Here is a little update about HOTAS.
We are getting the preproduction samples of HOTAS this week and we are very excited about that! Can’t wait to open the box upon its arrival! We will for sure send pictures of this exciting moment.
And while we are waiting, we were playing "Dies Irae" plus the Archimedes solo mode via Vassal with the designers Gottardo Zancani and Michael Pertsinakis. They did an amazing job!
In this screenshot of a game using the Archimedes solo mode, we show a challenging situation for the Persian and Egyptian (human) players.
Greece is played by the AI. After 5 turns the Greek faction has a well expanded trade net, strong army and fleet. The Persian and Egyptian will need to ally to stop the Greek faction from winning. We were really surprised that the two human players need to ally against the AI.
The design of the AI focusses on a rather expansive and aggressive style of play and is a real tough challenge for human players. The AI contains only 7 cards, is very easily handled and allows a great flow.
In HOTAS all is about good planning, right timing of actions and being efficient. And I promise you, the AI is amazingly efficient.
We will update the graphic elements in the coming weeks for the Vassal modules and will make it available on Vassal.org.
Stay tuned!
Yours Uwe Walentin
