I would be happy if someone would just tell us it it will be released before Christmas. That way I can plan my Christmas wish list accordingly (and also how I will spend my holiday hours)!!

Announcing a date won't make the actual release day come any sooner.

What if they release a date, which is maybe more than a month away, then there is a hangup in between that delays it by a few weeks? Wouldn't people feel a little betrayed?

Unless there is a last minute problem, the game should be released before Christmas. I think Erik posted somewhere that the manual was being printed and I think is due in within a week (if it hasn't already arrived), so that's one less problem that could come up. Really, we are all working to get this out before Christmas, but there's always a chance for some last minute issue that could delay things. Hopefully things will go smoothly.

Enjoyed that bit of design history of WitE. Thanks for that, Joel! Very glad to see you had a Russian as part of the development crew, too. We already know so much about Germany. It's the USSR that is still a tough subject to break open historically.
