Rob Beyma, the designer of the original AH Guns of August, is releasing an update of his venerable game.  This time the publisher is Compass Games, and the title is "Empires and Alliances".

Personally, I am looking forward to this one and will be a day one buy for me.

Compass says the release date is Feb 22.  In my experience with Compass they hit their publish dates with laser precision.

Just in time to celebrate the centennial of the final offensives on the Western Front.

Mainly b/c they're smart enough to not release a publishing date w/o knowing they'll hit it.
