red factories has been lounging in preorder for close to a year is their a est. release date or are we looking another year or two
There have been playtests mentioned would not that require rules and scenarios?Korea is next in line, IIRC, so I would probably not expect it earlier than next year. In fact I am not even sure the rules, scenarios, etc. has been submitted to MMP yet.
Projects are playtested before they are submitted to MMP. I do not believe MMP will accept a submission that hasn't gone through preliminary playtesting. So, when Klas says the rules and scenarios haven't yet been submitted to MMP, that does not mean that the rules and scenarios do not exist.There have been playtests mentioned would not that require rules and scenarios?
Yeah, that seems kind of strange. Ah well, it will come out when it comes out, I guess.Projects are playtested before they are submitted to MMP.

I also do not think that MMP places items on pre-order unless they are well on their way to completion after submission. As Red Factories is up for pre-order, I think that Klas is mistaken and that MMP has had the project submitted to them. I do not know how a company could place items on pre-order that hadn't been submitted yet. Klas works with MMP on some things, though, so he would know more than I about their process.
That is the normal MO for ASL products. However, IIRC, Red October was a sort-of special case as I think MMP wanted the pre-order number to hit *before* they gave the go-ahead for Kibler to re-paint the RB maps (since that was a major job)....I also do not think that MMP places items on pre-order unless they are well on their way to completion after submission...
That's a shame. I would much rather Kibler be working on a new map rather than re-doing RB, even a new Stalingrad map. But it makes financial sense to re-do the RB map I suppose.That is the normal MO for ASL products.

Since Red Factories will include RB, the RB maps has to be re-painted (in digital format).That's a shame. I would much rather Kibler be working on a new map rather than re-doing RB, even a new Stalingrad map. But it makes financial sense to re-do the RB map I suppose.
Unless Red Factories had to include RB, then it is a non sequitur that RB had to be re-done. And even it it did, I would still rather have Kibler working on something else as I have had my fill of Stalingrad, which I know is just a personal preference. And again, I understand that such decisions have to be based on the financial needs of the owners, not the wants of individual customers. But I can still wish out loud, even if without expectation of commiseration.Since Red Factories will include RB, the RB maps has to be re-painted (in digital format).
I'll commiserate... I've had my fill of Stalingrad as well.Unless Red Factories had to include RB, then it is a non sequitur that RB had to be re-done.

LOL.....sounds just like one of the soldiers of the 6th ArmeeI'll commiserate... I've had my fill of Stalingrad as well.
My ASL life is too short to spend so much of it within one city.
Do you mean "Amazon Prime" soon or "Festung Budapest" soon?Is this HASL about to be released soon?
I was told a couple weeks ago by MMP they are shooting for 2nd quarter of 2018.Is this HASL about to be released soon?
