Hi guys!
This update is mostly to inform you of near-term shipping and
charging details as well as to update our planned production
schedule through June of 2011. See the Shipping/Charging Update
and Production Outlook
sections below for those details.
We do have a few other items to note:
Dominant Species Out of Stock!
That's right: Chad Jensen's Dominant Species,
which we released on August 31 this year, is already OUT OF STOCK!
Two-and a half months from release to selling out is a record for
us! Congratulations to Chad and Kai and all the DS
development and art teams and thanks to all of you who have bought,
enjoyed, and spread the good news about Dominant
Species!
We're working on reprint plans for Dominant
Species now. What it looks like at present is
that we should be able to get the game back in stock by around
early March of 2011. We will be adding the item back to our P500
Reprint list later this week. Note that it will have no threshold
to meet to be reprinted - we've already made that committment. But
we're adding it to give you guys an opportunity to get the game at
a discount and also to help us with additional funds needed to
reprint the game.
Again, thanks to all of you who have helped to make this game one
of our "hits" of 2010!
An Update on GMT Computer Games
Thanks to all of you who took the time to vote in our online
poll about computer games, and also to those of you who sent us
private e-mails. We are excited to see that so many of you are
eagerly anticipating these games.
Based on your feedback, we are working toward release of
Twilight Struggle as our initial launch, with
Labyrinth as a secondary project. As we noted previously,
both games will allow a player to play either solo against the
computer or against opponents over the internet.
Although we are open to using other methods of distribution at some
point, we plan initially to keep costs and risks lower by making
the computer products available only as downloadable products from
the GMT website.
Over the coming months, as we have samples, screenshots, and test
versions available, we'll let you guys know. We'll also be adding
the games to our P500 list, where you'll be able to pre-order them
at a substantial discount, sometime in the first quarter of 2011.
Based on your recent feedback, we hope that many of you will avail
yourself of the pre-order discounts, which will also help us
greatly in guaging the demand for these products. Thanks, as always
for your support!
New P500
Additions Coming Later This Week
We have a couple of
new games and some reprints to add to the P500 list later this
week. Keep an eye on our website for details!

Shipping
and Charging Updates
Here are the most recent (November
30, 2010) GMT Games production, shipping, and
distribution updates.
Shipping/Charging
Update
Shipping: We started shipping the
P500 orders of
Commands & Colors:
Napoleonics today, November 30th. We estimate it will
take the rest of this week and maybe the first day or two of next
week for us to get them all shipped.
The next games we ship will be:
December 10th :
Spanish Civil War
December
20-30th :
Barbarossa:
Crimea
Charging: Due to
the delay on Barbarossa: Crimea we did not charge as
planned on November 29th. Instead, we intend to
charge for this game either late this week or early next week.
Please make sure your credit card info is current online and feel
free to chat with the office ladies if you have any questions about
your order.

Tentative
Production Outlook
In
addition to the delay on Barbarossa: Crimea,
we have a quite a few schedule additions this time, as we push out
tentative outlook through the first half of 2011.
Note, as always, that this schedule is subject to change, and that
those games that are listed furthest in the future are the most
subject to production timeline changes. Enjoy the games!
So here's
what the current game release schedule looks like:

Online
Customer Support
If you have any questions regarding any orders or upcoming charges
(or any customer service inquiry), the quickest way to get an
answer is to use our Online Chat
on the GMT website - which connects your directly to our office
ladies. Certainly they'll help you by phone or e-mail as well if
you wish, but the online chat is a very fast and easy way to get
your questions answered. Note that if you click the "Send a
transcript" box when you initiate the chat, you'll get an e-mail
transcript of the entire chat for your records. We like this
feature, as you get verification of everything that was said just
like e-mail, but the response is MUCH quicker. We invite you to try
it out the next time you need an answer from the office
folks.
That's all for this time.
Enjoy the games!
