+[Ars Militaris][arsm] ([GitHub][arsm-gh], [Discord][arsm-dis],
+[Twitter][arsm-twi], [Reddit][arsm-red])
+is a turn-based tactics game set in the ancient Rome era,
+being developed with Bevy.
+
+August saw some nice developments that occurred in both the
+digital and board game version of Ars Militaris. You can
+read about them in issues VI through IX of This Week in Ars Militaris
+([VI](https://arsmilitaris.com#this-week-in-ars-militaris-vi),
+[VII](https://arsmilitaris.com#this-week-in-ars-militaris-vii),
+[VIII](https://arsmilitaris.com#this-week-in-ars-militaris-viii),
+[IX](https://arsmilitaris.com#this-week-in-ars-militaris-ix)).
+
+The most noticeable improvements in the digital version were
+the updating of the multiplayer aspect to be on par with the
+single-player aspect, and then also the development of the
+[Ars Militaris Lobby][arsm-lobby].
+
+In the board game version, development started on a new
+scenario that will serve as our main product for the Ars
+Militaris board game version, and much playtesting with
+very positive results occurred
+[(Ars Militaris Event III)][arsm-event-iii]
+and [(Ars Militaris Event IV)][arsm-event-iv].
+
+But then, the result of a somewhat intensive 3-month
+sprint left the Lead Developer exhausted which brought
+the project to a temporary pause.
