Solitaire Berlin is inching towards publication. The hold up is primarily the tariff thing. We remain on the fence as to where to print the components. But the files themselves are printer ready. Peek at the box art . . .

Every game publisher hopes for that first game that becomes a "phenomenon" with sales that transcend the usual. In our case that was Stalingrad: Advance to the Volga. As reported in another forum by co-publisher Revolution Games it has sold 3,500 copies in 27 months. Perhaps another indication that topic is everything (though great components don't hurt). The follow-up Manila: The Savage Streets hasn't done bad either, with 1,750 copies in 12 months.

End of Turn 2, Playtest 1. The Germans have made further advances, especially in the south. A few units went out of action but Turn 2 reinforcements more than made up for them.

End of Turn 1, Playtest 1. The Kaiser's three armies have breached the forward zones of both British armies and captured areas in the second line of defense.

I hope players who have enjoyed the solitaire Manila: The Savage Streets will nominate it for a Golden Geek Award - solo, wargame, and/or art work.

Due to the now in-progress tariff war future Take Aim Desgin releases are on hold. To produce Berlin in the present situation would mean a much pricier game for players. How long the delay will be depends on political events. We'll continue with final art and proofing of the rules and all that, of course, so the game will be ready to go once things get settled.
