Release Date Coincidence?

[CWO Marc]

I'd have trouble believing that August 24, 2010 was intentionally chosen as the release date for Europe 1940 because of the date's historical significance, but at least it's an interesting coincidence: today is the 1,600th anniversary of the first sack of Rome by the Visigoths under Alaric.

Well i guess that proves it was entirely random.

It's quite obvious that there are marketing geniuses working for WOTC.  I bow in admiration

I wonder if the anniversary will be marked today by the sack of assorted hobby shops by A&A gamers who've been told that their inventory of Europe 1940 sets have just sold out?  That sort of thing could make the original sack of Rome look pretty tame by comparison.

Ah but let us not forget the lesson that the Visigoths taught us by sacking Rome: Although sacking may destroy the progress of human civilization, destroy farm land and harm innocent civilians, it will all be worth it because....it felt good doing it!
