By everything I’m seeing it is (here and Matrix and the TA website forum). . . . but so far on Slitherine and on Matrix you can’t purchase it.
I wonder what time zone the start of the business day they go by?

What is the status of this game's release, please. It still says March 28, and has been moved to the "for sale" page, but there is still no price, and no Buy Now button.
Please give us an update when you can. Thanks!

I know too with other Slitherine games it seems like they are open for sale around mid-day (New York time zone) - at least that seems to have been the pattern.
. . . . So We can try to spend our money again tomorrow.

Hehehehe, I checked at midnight GMT last night hoping it would change, then checked again this morning and checked again just now. So, nice to know it will be around mid-day tomorrow.

I did the same thing. . . . even though I figure it wouldn't be until more like somewhere around between 11:00 and 13:00
Unless there are technical issues – it HAS to be out tomorrow. . . . or I’ll be on my way to the hospital because of the stress

Yeah, I read the update from Zeal in this thread. I just don't know why Slitherine has not said anything. They post a release date of today, and then nothing.
At least please give a quick update and let us know it slipped another day. Any update is better than a release date of today with no release.

Agreed.
That would be my biggest complaint / word of advice to Slitherine.
At times, they can be good at conveying information to the masses and then other times – like now – nothing. And you would have to know that there are people chomping at the bit to buy this game, so if there is any delay – you must make that announcement on what and why.
It is just plan good Public Relations and business pratice.
But many thanks to Zeal’s Nomet to at least letting us know so news on it – although, it is still Slitherine’s responsibility.

Agreed. Yeah, I know we are the lunatic fringe, but come on Slitherine. Don't post a release date and then be silent on that day. We just want to play!!

Since I will be at work at that time, a cup of tea will have to be the best I can do.
. . . . but you can bet I will be joining you in celebration drink at that time.

3 Years in the making eh......
The market has needed this game likely for 5 times as long as that hehe. I'm actually surprised no one has done this scale of combat before much if at all ie individual soldiers AND turn based. What the hell is wrong with turn based? Chess is turn based and it has been a great game for hundreds of years.
Anyway, I gots me some birthday money all set to go.

Well said DSWargamer, well said.
Turn based is where it is at. There needs to be many more games like this.
