The digital adaptation of tabletop wargaming rules came to revolutionize how PC wargames are played online, supported with the help of the community and expanded. Never before has a product seen such intense participation of an ever-expanding fan base and such continuous support by a publisher, developer and fans as a whole.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:

<div style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size: small; "><span style="font-family: Arial; "><span style="line-height: 115%; ">Keith Martin-Smith, Director at Developer Hexwar said: “<i>What a year , where did 2010 go ? Since launching the Field of Glory Digital Edition we have never stopped.  First we added the Digital Army Generator and we thought that would be it, but we could not resist so much positive user feedback and great ideas that the game has evolved a long way from what came out a year ago</i>”.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size: small; "><span style="font-family: Arial; "><span style="line-height: 115%; ">The game has over <b>1,500</b> multiplayer games live at any time.

Field of Glory is more than a project to us: it started with the tabletop wargaming rules and it’s now a major franchise within the wargaming world. This couldn’t happen at all without the support of the thousands of players that enjoy the game in all its iteration worldwide</i>”.</span></span></div>

He is a spokesperson for an entire community of players celebrating this first year of exceptional successes for the game: “<i>Having started playing from the beginning I've really enjoyed seeing how Slitherine and Hexwar have committed themselves to improving the game with an eye towards achieving a truly polished product. It is also encouraging to know that player’s opinions hold enough weight to merit changes in the game when needed”.</i></span></span></div>
