On my WWI front I have taken abreak from painting Germans and spent time researching trenches, the construction, and eventual evolution into strong points. Basicly meaning for myself that I will be building at least 4 different types of front line trenches. Communication and support trenches will just add to my list of stuff to do.

Not really. As I said somewhere else, Frank and Matrix are trading versions. Also Frank is working on Black Powder Wars and that seems to be approaching completion. Probably because the holidays are looming and Boney has better selling power.

I just got done reading Guns of August, so I am very interested in this title

(which, to be honest, I think my hobby is buying games)

I look forward to Empires in Arms too and I will say that, at least over there, Marshall Ellis keeps you updated on what is going on. Because of the fact the EoA has a website and a developer who knows their forum community exists, I would put my money on EoA....

Every day that passes without an update of some kind from Frank, or SOME kind of word on when APPROXIMATELY we may be able to expect a release, makes it that much lower a chance I'll shell out the money for this piece of vaporware. And I'm sure there are a lot of people who feel exactly as I do.

WoW ....and just think your only 9 post into your membership.

Lets get this straight

Your sick of not getting updates and are sick of waiting around since what.....5/2/05.
I think you need to calm down and get a grip, I would hate to see what you would be like six months from now .

Please don't judge someone's opinion by the date someone has joined the Matrix forum.
Me, for example, joined in july '05, but been following the GoA forum since Frank joined Matrix: somewhere around march 2003 I think?

What made you so upset must be the rude language and agressive tone of Executioner Five, on which I agree.

Yes agreed

But anyone posting that kind of garbage is fair game

Status: offline 		Given David H's rather terse comments on sending the latest build back, I'd say Matrix is not happy with the current product. I must admit, I am (was?) rather looking forward to this one. A forgotten topic in computer wargames, IMHO. I think Frank's time is rather tied up in other products, and this one may be a long time coming...

General Disclaimer - Not associated w/Matrix in any way other than as a happy customer, nor involved in the development/testing of this game.

Except all the real-world glaciers are melting and moving backwards.
