As many of you know the Gates of Troy masters were stolen almost 2 weeks ago. Since then we've been informed by Royal Mail that 2 more of their vans were attacked the day after the initial robbery and it clearly indicates it was just an unfortunate incident and Gates of Troy was not directly targeted. The Gates of Troy masters were delivered by hand to the duplicators to ensure security & the mix up came when the proof copies were dispatched back to Slitherine by normal mail.

Because of the mistake the duplication plant raised Gates of Troy to the top of its production list and the end result is that we received the finished goods back 2 weeks ahead of schedule. By a strange twist of fate, a random robbery has ended up with Gates of Troy out 2 weeks early. You don't hear about games shipping early very often in the games industry. It's a strange old world.
