Update From GMT
Here are the most recent GMT Games updates:
Shipping/Charging Update
Shipping: As most of you know, we had an unforeseen production delay with one of our printers that has delayed The Halls of Montezuma. The good news is that the final component for that game shipped from our supplier yesterday and we should have it in our warehouse late next week. So we will begin shipping on Monday, March 2, for both items:
Charging: We have finished all charging for Battles with the Gringos. Charging for The Halls of Montezuma will begin on Monday, February 23rd and be concluded by the end of next week.
Production Outlook Update
The production delay on The Halls of Montezuma did cause delays across our entire schedule – costing us about a month overall. Here’s the latest (tentative) production schedule through August of 2009:
March 2nd:

Several Games Sold Out – Two to be Reprinted
We have recently Sold Out of the following games:
Great Battles of Alexander: Deluxe Edition
Thanks very much to all of you have have purchased these games. We hope they are bringing you many hours of gaming enjoyment.
We have no immediate plans to reprint Great Battles of Alexander or Sweden Fights On.
We will add C & C Ancients back to the reprint list when we add the new P500 games in February.
Because it is one of our best selling games and we continue to see rather heavy demand for it, we do intend to reprint Twilight Struggle, most likely in a mounted board format (with an update kit available for previous owners of the game). We are working with the design, art, and production teams on this now, and will have a detailed announcement for you sometime this spring.
New P500 Additions Coming Soon
Within the next week or two, we will be adding some new games and a few reprint candidates to the P500 list. Keep an eye on our website for details.

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 next time you need an answer from the office folks.
That’s all for this week.
Enjoy the games!
