But it begins in 2008.
And I'm sure everyone knew what was meant when the phrase 'winter 2008' was used, given the context.
My money's burning a hole in my pocket, but that doesn't mean I want to see them rush the game. After all, rushed Q4 products are the bane of a PC gamer's existence. If it's good it's worth waiting for so they can get it right.

Depends on what you mean by rushing. Rome was definitely rushed: it was terribly unbalanced, and gameplay elements like individual personalities, highly touted in the press releases, were little more than markers for future development. Add-ons, being smaller, usually fill in missing features in Paradox games, and only require the rigorous beta-testing that the company regularly expects from its players. So they aren't rushed. I suspect that Vae Victis will fit the pattern of EU3's NA and In Nomine, as well as Crusader Kings' Deus Vult: it will fill in features, and require extensive patching after players do the testing that Paradox should. It will not be rushed. And it will be eagerly absorbed by players who scream with joy, after paying more for gameplay that was, at least in part, promised for Rome's initial release.
Personally, I'm going to hold back on this one. I'm still pissed at Paradox for not delivering on what they promised with Rome. A few months after release I'll see what the general consensus is about Vae Victus, after all the fanboys and assassins get through shouting each other down.
I wouldn't bother with Vae Victis if In Nomine hadn't come out in the meantime. I don't mind parting with a few quid if an expansion can do what IN did to a game I thought was finished with. As it is I'll get it as soon as reviews confirm it wasn't a complete fraud.

"latter half of Q4/2008" means nov.15-dec.31.
I bet on dec. 5 (just because
)So it'll not be technically winter yet.

Senate & Laws
Addition of the Senate, Laws and time limit missions will definitely add to the game.
