We’ve got a meeting at E3 to discuss options with Sony so we’ll see what we can do – any way to release them would be good :)

^That’s really a shame if they dont get release over here because there is a market for these games. Any chance they could fit the Minis criteria?

We would love to do it as both have been successful in Europe, but we need to concept approval from Sony US for both games and Sony think these games are not suitable for the US market.

Hey Iain, will the US ever get History Channels: Great Battles of Rome and Military History: Commander: Europe at War?

Ice Road Truckers is actually going to be our next Minis release. BBC Battlefield Academy is still a fair way off on PSP. We want to the get the basic gameplay spot on before we start the PSP version. That’s all being balanced on the PC prototype. We have a number of PSP releases planned over the coming year! :)

Brilliant news Iain! I have been waiting for this game to be released for quite a long time, it’s been on the cards for so long and it’s funny I posted on the Slitherine forum just last week since the intial release date had passed.

Will definitely pick up this PSP mini on the day of release, any idea of the UK release date for it?

Also waiting for news on BBC Battlefield Academy for PSP too!

Slitherine did a great job with both THE HISTORY CHANNEL Great Battles of Rome and MILITARY HISTORY™ Commander Europe at War, so I am keen to see any new history based games from them.

Thanks BlackIceJoe,

we have enough content in the minis for a full game. There are many campaigns and each can be played as multiple sides and each can take many hours to complete. As a European Publisher we are not actually allowed to release a full PSP title in the US without a US partner and we wanted to do this ourselves, and as Minis we are able to do this.

I’m really looking forwards to seeing feedback once the game is out :)

Thanks for all your interest.

Iain
