May 16th, 2012
I'm currently streamlining the rules and the Master Rules Manual. The number of pages have been reduced from 48 to 36. This have been possible due to removal of charts and tables, that will now only include on separate sheets, and due to removing a lot of unnessecary jibberish in the text. I'm not quite yet in a final stage, instead I will need more work on the rules and the maps, but also more time for testing. Some of the major features in the game can be played in several ways, and I have to find out which is the best one to use in the end. Basically, all other game components are finished and need only final proofreading and checking. All this means that I will need the entire summer for testing, proofreading, and to finish all components (and some holiday too...). No printing will start, and no PayPal will be attached, until August. I will place more samples of the components in the beta news menu along the way.

Newsletter N:o 20 will be sent on Sunday, to all who have ordered it in the Pre-order menu.
April 7th, 2012
Pre-orders to date:
Vol. 1 Winter War; 563 (+5)
Vol. 2 Continuation War; 447 (+5)
Vol. 3 Lapland War; 434 (+6)
NOTE! I receive send error on about 30 e-mails, which means that equal number of pre-orders are currently no longer valid. Please contact me, if you have changed your e-mail address, otherwise these pre-orders will be removed from the list. /Miku
I will need at least 450 paid pre-orders for each volume, before I can go for a print run! PayPal will not be attached until the games are in a final production stage, which will very likely be in June 2012.

Newsletter N:o 19 will be sent on Sunday, to all who have ordered it in the Pre-order menu.
March 5th, 2012
The focus during this month (March), is the rules and the mapboards, that will need an additional one or two weeks of work.
The most important news is, that Vol. 1 Winter War, will also include the Extended Campaign with the Foreign Intervention. This means that the game will include all features necessary to play every aspect of the Winter War. Eight countersheets instead of seven means also that the price tag will be higher on this game, but lower on the Vol. 3 Lapland War expansion, were these x-tra features were to be at first. When compairing the ups and downs of this manuevre, this way was the best. It saves me a lot of extra work to not split things up. The final prices for all voulmes will be announced when the PayPal is attached sometimes in late April. This last-minute-change of plans has cost me valuable time, which means that I'm almost two weeks behind scedule.
Newsletter N:o 19 will be done sometimes in the second half of March.
I will need at least 450 paid pre-orders for each volume, before I can go for a print run! PayPal will not be attached until the games are in a final production stage, which will very likely be in February 2012.
