They probably found out that the crybabies on BGG excessively whining over the fact that TIDE OF IRON got delayed two times was bad promotion.

Nothing is more frustrating than game delays, especially if it's something you're really looking forward to. I remember waiting for the WOTR expansion which was just over a year late...and Conan is so late now that I've honestly almost lost interest in it entirely.
No one complains about a game being "early", that's for sure. So mum and hype are the keywords until they are certain they're ready to pull the trigger.
I first noticed this with World of Warcraft Adventure Game which smoothly came out on time and didn't have the months and months of hype preceding it.

So I'm on the fence a bit. I've finished about half the rules. The fundamental mechanic is simply blind pick and then placement of influence ("guilt") with two personal payoff cards you secretly hold. Guessing who the other players have as guilty and then trying to get your 2 guys guilty or innocent. Then traipsing around the map to find influence. Haven't really gotten to the conspiracy or plot stuff, which could be more colorful. But that's the basic game.

Until it starts shipping then you'll hype up again.

Right now I'm not sure about the game. It's pretty involved and detailed but I'm still not feeling the theme in the game, having not read the plot cards, so it was interesting to read the designers notes which talked nothing about the game and only about creating the theme. The plot stuff will probably be a very key part of the game.

I'm also interested in those 1/144th tanks to use for Memoir '44 and ToI at a buck each - although shipping to the UK might smack that on the head.

Fate: Talisman now has rerolls.
Characters start with Fate points, and can use them to reroll any die. Fate can be regained through various sources.
That and affordable toad minis. Easily one of the hardest to find and most sought after minis in gaming.

Red November: Sounds like great fun, ordered.
Battle Star: Rules sound great, ordered.
Cosmic Encounter: Never played it before, rules sound basic but that could be a good thing. Chance of grabbing it: 75%
Android: Didn't get to read these ones yet, so still undecided.
Talisman 4th: Got 3rd ed, so it doesn't make much sense to get this... but im still tempted...
I havn't even hit the expansions coming out - it's true that it is feeling like there is bit of a glut of releases all of a sudden.

Read some of the rules on my plan trip to and from Sydney:
Cosmic Encounter: Never played it before, rules sound basic but that could be a good thing. Chance of grabbing it: 75%
I have never played this either and read through the rules last night. Not sure I'm entirely "getting" the game from the rules. Think I need to see some of the cards to figure out how the game actually plays. I'm guessing the interest comes from the negotiation and alliance-making aspects.

Agree, if it didn't have the rep it has I would probably be thinking it sounds shit via the rules.
But there is obviously more to it than it seems.
