Please provide an update on the development efforts for Scheldt '44. 

Last word was an expected release date of mid-2020.

Thanks!

Mike,

I chased Mike Prucha up to get a mini-update. Suffice to say the team is in lock down, but by the nature of our work it means progress is being made.

We still believe we're on target for mid-2020 as previously mentioned. There has been a lot of testing going on and some of the latest tweaks have really moved us closer to how this operation played out. We're happy with what we're seeing.

There is a final (large) round of content to be done and once that's tested we're on the home run.

Mike only sent me a single screenshot to share 

I wonder where this could be??




We will start to share more info on this really interesting battle as we get a bit closer to release.

Could it be Boulogne-sur-Mer?

[ComradeP]

The north-south coastline means it can't really be anything else.

After checking with France '40, it is indeed Boulogne-sur-Mer.

Note the new Irregular Infantry unit types in the screenshot.

Capturing Boulogne. Here is how you do it.......

This one will be really interesting, iirc the british used amtracs to stage mini amphibious operations in the Scheldt estuary.

Yes, they're there!

The attack on Walchern is a particularly interesting scenario - made all the more difficult after the RAF destroyed the dykes and flooded the interior of the island... (right click for full size)
