Depending on demand, we may produce some data disks containing new campaigns and/or Micro-Miniature battles. We will also be working on a modem playable version of the game. Like the Blue & The Gray modem module, this will only allow modem play on the campaign level of the game. The D-Day module will be available FREE however. When ready, which should be soon, it will be available on our own BBS system, as well as on CompuServe & GEnie.
