Great! I knew Slitherine wouldn't abandon this series! It's quite a coincidence Slitherine and Shenandoa met, they make my favourite games!

I can see why you're doing a re-release of Bulge, I'm sure you'll get some new customers for what is a great game.
As somebody who has purchased all 3 of the Command series, I won't hide my mild disappointment that you're going down this track, though. I've played BotB to death on the iphone... so I won't purchase it for PC unless it has some new content. A slight brush-up of the UI doesn't really justify a new purchase.
I'd also rather have a fixed Desert Fox that I can actually play, having purchased it, than a port of BotB. Perhaps you're working on porting all three, though, and maybe Desert Fox will finally get fixed when you get around to porting that one?
I'd also rather have the long-awaited Gettysburg title out there.
By all means, go for the new audience for BotB, but please don't forget your loyal, patient and forgiving long-time customers in the process...

We had to rewrite the Crisis in Command series from scratch in a new engine as the old engine could not be carried on. This is why its taken so long and why there are some difference between the current version and the previous (which we're working on!). We'll be fixing bugs as we go so once we get all the issues resolved on Bulge we'll move on to Moscow and then Desert Fox. The new engine will allow us to patch and support the entire series going forwards. It will also allow us to add more games to the series but the priority right now is to get the bugs fixed in the current games.
There is a separate team working on Gettysburg and we're expecting the beta to start soon.
