I have seen in the forums that they are going to put out war in the east 2. I am trying to get a time frame. I really don't want to dump $100 and then around Christmas have to buy 2. I don't mind playing tigers on the hunt until then, love ASL starter kit.

Not this year or even early next year. We are still in alpha, and are many months away from beta. Even once we get to beta, there will be a lot of balancing and testing to be done (we're doing a decent amount now thanks to some very helpful alpha testers, but will need more once at beta). There was a time when we were hoping to get it out in 2018, but that time passed a while ago and there's just too much left to be done.

Thx for the honest answer, hopefully WITE2 will be more user friendly in terms of clicking and counter info. A revamped Air War would be great...but Im getting ahead of myself here!

Thanks for the update, Joel. For now, War In The East is pretty much at the top of my gaming list, and still has a lot of life left in it yet. Thanks for putting out such TOP-notch wargames !

SECONDED !

Inserts self into this thread so as not to miss an opportunity to once again underline, highlight, and otherwise applaud the spectacular efforts of Morvael, Denniss, and associates who should be recognized for their tremendous work in maintaining this game. Their efforts in debugging, rebuilding, and tweaking the code is directly responsible for the longevity of this game and it's continued appeal as a game sim. Futhermore, Matrix and Gary Grigsby and the copyright owners of this product are to be applauded for allowing and fostering this sort of support. So many other game publishers fail to do this and leave their customers in the lurch with bugged games... MATRIX IS NOT ONE OF THEM. BRAVO !!

Any idea of the main improvements over WITE-1 ? Can't really see where the game can be improved

Just from War in the West (which is amazing in its own right as well) :
- Air War (really WiTW bring a brand new ballpark in this regards)
- Naval operations
- Logistics
- Weather simulation and forecast
- Victory point system
- Road system simulation
- Special forces and commando (sort of)
...along with a bunch of small scale improvements that are more than welcome (combat movement delay, air drops)

And then thinking outside the box :
- Better production management / control (who want hundreds of Tiger Is sitting in the depots)
- Dynamic VP system (so that you always have something to fight for... even if it's just "surrender to anyone but soviets")
- Polar areas warfare (and better mountain warfare management)
- Intelligence
- Electronic warfare
...
