2014...is THIS the year your Pre Order war game gets published?

Us wargamers know that getting a game design into production and into our hands to dissect and play can be a very long haul. Games like The Devil's Cauldron took many years after I placed my pre- order to make it to my door. Let's take a look of what gamers have on pre-order that they hope shows up in 2014. I am not including any kickstarters in this project so we don't have to go down the 'UP FRONT' black hole. Post away!

1. Board Game: Battle for Britain [Average Rating:0.00 Unranked]

A game that was brought to my attention by Barry Kendall a while back. A little known game by developers ADG (Australian Design Group) makers or World In Flames and 7 Ages. My hope is for this to reach its pre order status this year. Its hard to tell at this point since ADG games are more a 'word of mouth' discovery. I think with a little bit of advertisement, this game would go over the top of the needed pre orders.

A GMT game that looks like it will see the light of day this year. All depends where it gets set in the production schedule.

3. Board Game: Pax Romana [Average Rating:7.34 Overall Rank:1686]

Pax Romana 2nd edition has been on the GMT P-500 list for a long time. While the game has made the cut with >500 orders, the full production queue seems to be pushing this game out. This is a WISH to see this game this year!

Edit: With the latest newsletter, Pax Romana 2E MAY be published along with Genesis (estimated to be published in 2014Q4).

I believe this one will be published in March. Haven't received billing notice yet, but I am very hopeful.
