I wish people that have NO clue about software compatibilty stop spreading complete and utter NONSENSE.
EVERY commercial game on the Commodore's, Atari's, Apple2's, PC's and dozens of other 30 year old OS WORK these days on emulators. That includes 35+ year old boardgames that had assisted software back in 1981.
It is enough to type in a title in Google to find the appropriate emulator for these exotic machines and OS.
The JOKE is that the MoM2 software is on 4 different OS of which one is the universal Win platform, while I made examples of the 20 year long defunct Avalon Hill with games of 1981 that ran on .... cassette tape .... and YOU CAN FIND THE SOFTWARE for present day computers to run it .... in 10 seconds on the internet.
Stop these ridiculous FALSE claims that software will be obsolete please.

MoM2 to me is the MOST exciting launch of a boardgame of the last decade really.
At last I can play MoM more than once a year (when I could find 5 people who wanted to invest time in it with a clear and excited set of minds...).

Oh boy, ... after MoM2, now this. FFG knows how to lure me in these times... Well, I am in for sure.

If this keeps up, i will have to declare bankruptcy.

It's getting to a point where it may just make the most sense for me to just direct deposit my check into FFG'so account. Where it's going to end up anyways.

Incredible that this negative view of old software is STILL supported by some gamers.
Listen, I play ALL games from the 80's, 90's or a decade ago without any problems as this software is emulated by present day computers.
Tanktics, Dniepr River Line and the very good Close Assault are just EXAMPLES of early 1980 HYBRID boardgames from Avalon Hill that are played by me on a regular basis... on my Surface tablet/portable.
Actually: My original TAPE was for the Atari 400/800 system and Apple 2 ... both devices were no longer produced almost 30 years ago ... and the old Avalon Hill went out of business in 1996... 20 years ago...
For God's sake the above game's software can now even be played from a web browser through a PC...
As the MoM2 software is already available on 4(!) different OS, one of which is the open Windows system, I bet you a 1000 dollars this software will be available through your entire life time, just like ALL software from Apple2's, Commodore 64, Ataris.
Just to mention: the above 3 examples had ... a print run of 2000 ... boardgame copies, so I would like FOR ONCE these arguments of old software stops (end remark: that Apple does not support old Apps is just that: it is the closed box mentality of this company, ... but I run ALL older apple software on .... the open Windows machines btw ...).
In fact, these 35 year old boardgames with software supported AI, are as xpensive as other rare boardgames from that period. Their value depends on the state of the board and playing pieces, not on the software you can find with Google in a blink of an eye...

Bottom line: People who are interested will be able to play XCom the boardgame or MoM2 in the next 50 years without a problem.
Just like I play Close Assault the hybrid Avalon Hill boardgame of 1982 ... today...
If typing one search line on Google is too much for those who bought that game in 1982 with a ... tape for an Atari 800 that was no longer available in ... 1986, than that person completely ignored the last 30 years of technical evolution.
... /... end of discussion really.

I just discovered this game over Christmas. I found a Dutch (translated) version which was on sale because apparently the real fans over here prefer the Original English cards.
 
What a pleasant surprise. I never thought this game was that good.
 
The game play, theme and flow of this game is surprisingly fast, fresh and exciting.
 
No doubt I will buy a few expansion packs and since I found an excellent solo variant on BGG, the game will age very well as you can play it with these solo rules or just needs 2 players.
 
To me it is one of the best games I purchased over the last 18 months.
 
A great addition to my collection of Death Angel, Lord of the Ring LCG and Warhammer Quest Card game.
