These projects override everything else.

I was under the impression that the new edition of Car Wars was a commitment made 5 years ago during the 2012 Deluxe Ogre Kickstarter...

Our supporters at the [new] $23 level and higher will be invited to join an exclusive Car Wars forum, where we’ll build the new edition from the ground up - issues like "which classic cover do we use?," "10 phase, 5 phase, or 3 phase movement?," and "do we include boats?" Once the project launches, surveys will be open to the public, but only supporters of the current project will get in on the preliminary planning. And we'll take everything we have learned from our Ogre Kickstarter project to make the Car Wars project even better. If we make this goal, the private Car Wars forum and surveys will launch before the end of 2012. The game will be published in late 2013.
(PS #1 - And we will add staff as necessary to make sure that the Car Wars and Ogre projects don’t compete for attention!)
(PS #2 - To make sure this is clear: Supporters of Ogre are not receiving a copy of the new Car Wars. You’re just making us DO it. Thank you . . . we think!)

Not having played Ogre previously, I missed out getting to back Car Wars through this. A friend of mine let me know this goal came up, but the Ogre Kickstarter closed while I was at work.

But Since then, I have been eagerly awaiting the new edition of Car Wars which is my favorite game of all time. I was hoping it would kickstart for the 35th anniversary last year, since the Deluxe Ogre kickstarted for Ogre's 35th.

Maybe if it kickstarts next year it will ship in time the 40th anniversary in 2021?
