I have recieved a confirmation from Valusoft and the shipping date is August 26, 2004.
To answer the question of when a store near you will receive the game?
As with the previous two 18 WOS releases, try to recall about how long it took you to recieve those copies after the shipping date and the same should hold true for PttM.
I almost forgot, Valusoft will be updating it's homepage soon with it Q3 titles and we will see 18WOS: PttM at that time.
