We at Impressions will be working on a number of D-Day supplements in the near
future. 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.
