Wargame of the Year 2007!!!! (Usenet)
"Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference." Mark Twain
Here is the thank-you speech posted this afternoon:
AGEod and AGE Studio teams are simply delighted!!!
Last year, you had given our first game Birth of America an unexpected
second place.
This year, you have voted our second game, American Civil War, Wargame
of the Year 2007.
We really really thank you for your thrust and your support. To run a
small company like AGEod is really demanding, when Philippe Malacher
and Philippe Thibault have started the whole thing they were only
dreaming about such accomplishment. Today, we have built strong links
with the Wargaming community; we enjoy lively and courteous forums
where we can find feedbacks, remarks and encouragement. We have built
partnerships with other companies such as Nobilis, Matrix, CDV,
Ascaron, Friendware, etc.
All this will force us to commit ourselves even more in developing
high standard quality strategy games.
As you know, we are currently finishing the development of Birth of
America 2, with news units, new campaigns, new mechanisms, a new map
and the sheer simplicity that delighted you in the BoA gameplay.
We also plan this year to develop another game using the AGE engine
and taking place in the European theatre...
Finally, we will work on our big project "Vainglory of Nations, who
will put you in charge of a whole nation in the Victorian age, First
World War included! (if you don't succeed to prevent it). ETA 2009.
But 2008 is also a major turn in the AGEod history. Indeed, last year
we had begun to distribute Great Invasions, an old game by Philippe
Thibaut. This month, we will begin the distribution of two brand new
games developed by two new studios. More news later.
So we are really going to celebrate this New Year. All the team is
very excited. We all have been members of this newsgroup for long, to
receive this price by you really means a lot to us.
Best regards,
the AGEod Team
NB: And as we are crazy people, I'm glad to announce that the winner
of your lottery will receive a free copy of Birth of America 2 upon
its release and meanwhile can pick a game in our catalogue. Eddy,
could you please give me his/her details later?

Again, congratulations to PT and PM and the AGEOD team. As with the awards given by the French game magazine, this award from that large and well established newsgroup should go far in advancing the name of AGEOD amongst the worldwide strategic gaming community. I am so happy for this small company!

Those wargame freaks ermm.. humm i mean... usenet guys
are pretty though costumers...
That newsgroup sure makes fun and interesting reading
Cheers!
Yeah, but if a wargame gets the thumbs up there, you're 100% sure it's a winner because it's not run by any company or publisher and there's no moderation. This means you get straight talk, the unvarnished truth. Definitely not for those who can't take a little flaming now and then.

Right indeed, though I understood the newsgroup was overseen by the MI-5, not?
