Here is a post by Grim.Reaper on the GrogHeads forums:
[quote]The news we have been waiting for! Sort of....although ready for EA release, they are having issues with their release platform:( Hopefully they figure out quickly....
We have good news and bad.
I will start with the good part. We made huge progress with the game in October with the help of focus testers. Many of the game's crashes were fixed, the balance improved, a huge amount of game-breaking bugs were fixed, usability of different game mechanics was improved. The game is ready for EA release. The game will include the US campaign from April 1775 till August 1776. The campaign will contain 3 stages - Boston, ft. Ticonderoga and Canada. The content is good for learning the game and providing feedback that will help us improve the game. We will continue to develop further content for the US campaign opening the whole map after EA release.
Now a bad part - Unfortunately we have an issue with the release now because the Xsolla platform has problems. We work with the Xsolla team to fix them ASAP.[/quote]

What I don't understand is why the forums here have been totally abandoned by the Dev Team.
