Hell freezes over: John Tiller Wargames goes digital

UPDATE:
With the release today of Panzer Campaigns: Kharkov '43 from John Tiller Software a new page has turned. This new title marks the beginning of a self-publishing effort by the JTS team as opposed to publishing through HPS Simulations. It also marks the beginning of Digital Downloads being offered for the current John Tiller products.

John Tiller has released a new Panzer Campaigns game. Kharkov '43 is the new title. The price is 40 bucks but the big news is he has gone digital download. Each purchase comes with 10 downloads (one computer only, enter a serial number one time).
