Question is if we can reckon on a release by this week(end) or have to wait for next one.

I have not been to a game convention for awhile and they might do this already sans the fee.

Status: offline 		Well that is not quite 3 times as long. That for me is three time mor time to read, learn anything and by the time zI get to thje end I would have to start over again LOL I am not convinced I will buy iot as yet as just the time in learning it let alone PLAYING the thing even against the AI when I can now just get through WitP against the AI Jap on a good day.
I find it amazing that there are those who read the manual jump into the game and manage to do quite well against another human who is equal in the same abilities. I play the AI for fun and relaxation and to be part of history.
I am not sure I want to get into the detail of AE for the reasons I play at WitP and money is a bit tight. I do enjoy this forum and will follow AE's forum to and perhaps some of the good stuff will rub off. I just cant see these endless play aids like spread sheets and planning maps and all the rest. I want a game to be fun and relaxing and AE will take a bit of dooing to get that status

He can't tell you, because he doesn't know, because we haven't gone Gold yet. Besides, Matrix doesn't announce release dates until the release date is there. You know that.

Didn't Erik say, "Thanks again for your support and feedback. War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition is currently on schedule for a release before the end of July. I expect to be able to announce the actual release date in the next couple of days." (From initial post of 'repricing' string)
Just asking.

Kurt
