well it was listed as 2020 due from Helion, so it might be worth an email to check there is not an issue and everyone else is not using a placeholder.

Good thinking ... and email can't hurt.

Just ordered The Silver Bayonet deal from Northstar. Napoleonic fantasy skirmish. Described by one of my friends as Pride, Prejudice and Vampires. I'll need a green uniformed officer so that I can say "Have that yer bastard" in a Yorkshire accent every turn.

Personally, I'm planning some AWI Sharp Practice where one of the lead characters is Second Lieutenant Aubrey Mather-Farquhar. No Yorkshire accent.

And for some reason, probably prompted by Stargrave etc, I ducked off to DriveThru RPG and purchased Cepheus Deluxe (Traveller by another name) plus the 'Solo' book to allow me to have a real nostalgia hit.. and i suspect I will buy a box of plastic starship crew as well.

How nice, so Brian Blessed.

Sharpe has a distinct Sheffield accent.

That's a good result. Instead of calling the missus, couldn't you have just asked the rest of the crowd to help you? Two more blokes would have made light work of it.
