ORIGINAL: Yohan insulting posts from trolls like you Well, if you say so...here I am in all my radiant beauty, if you're interested (please note that this is directed at me, not at anyone else. Far be it from me to give offense). I am flattered at having been called a "troll" for the first time. I wonder what other wonders await my wonderment? In any event, what I said before still goes. Matrix has had a long, convoluted adventure trying to get this game produced. I would have preferred a fresh start, but I am anxious to play the EiA port, for better or worse, richer or poorer, until Vic doth us part. Marshall Ellis, Bart Koehler, and others from the design team have made comments and given updates that encourage me to believe that this will be a product worthy of addition to the Matrix line. I'm buying it, friends, and I encourage those of you who want to play Napoleonic games to do the same. Like UV and WitP with regard to WWII in the Pacific, it's going to be the only, and by far the best, game in town. Bravo, Pasternakski! I have lurked about in the EiA forum for quite awhile just to get an idea of when it would be released. After an indepth reading of this thread it has become apparent that you are a fellow 'old timer', in that you remember with warmth the old board gaming days. BTW, I was one of the 10-15 guys who still cared when Empire of the Rising Sun was finally released. I also spent many, many hours poised over an SL/ASL game going back to '76 and onward. These new gaming guys don't know what patience is. In the old days if a game was prematurely released you had a door stop. There was no such thing as a patch for a board game with set of rules that was full of holes. Nowadays they have patches. So why do they whine, so? Like you I will wait patiently and buy it when it is released. If the guys who complain and threaten not to buy it because it is still not released then I say, 'Good Riddance!" They're probably the kind of opponent who will forget your e-mail address when you start kicking their arses. As soon as it releases I'll look you up. I'm looking forward to a game of EiA with an old 'board gamer'.
