The delay may be due to Ares being six months late with Sales of Glory, which required a metric butt-ton of plastic to be produced, painted and assembled. I don't think they're all that big a company and SofG is quite a package. It needed to be out for Christmas but they missed, and I know two game store owners that figure they lost a couple thousand dollars in revenue because of it.

How many players is Battles for? 5? Or 2 (even if the box says otherwise) like WotR?
I'd prefer they get the promised WotR expansions out ahead of this.

Perhaps, but to Sag's point, by missing Christmas they cost themselves some incremental sales through traditional channels.

Yeah, I'd prefer the WotR stuff too. But this game has been in the pipeline for a while, my guess is that from a playtesting development standpoint, it was closer than the expansion stuff. And I think from a timing perspective, slotting it in between the 2nd and 3rd Hobbit movies will allow them to maximize sales.

Oh yes they do when you've got a business loan to cover your 4X print run and distributors and retailers are looking to hand you cash. They also matter when 40% of your sales occur in a 30 day period that just passed.
AND when getting it out the door needs to happen to free up room for projects like Five Armies.

And more Battles of Napoleon. Oh, wait ...
(Not that I did more than look at my copy of that.)
