Awful lot of whining going on lately; me, I'll be damn glad to finally be getting my hands on this thing after having waited for it for more than 20 years....and I notice the guys testing it seem to be having a blast.

Really? I thought that was why you did PBEM....Course, that isn't very efficient, you can only heart-attack us one at a time that way.

It's just that many people take this too seriously. It like we sc~&%#@ their mothers or something along that line. Eh, I've never even been to Canada, so it wasn't me.

Sure there may be a few items that some people would have liked to see, but as a tester let me tell you that the game is mind blowing in it's features, size and scope.

I kid, I kid... I've just been waiting for this game since Pacwar, so reading how much fun you're all having makes me get a little squirrelly now and again.

Thanks for all the info you guys post here - it really does make the waiting a little easier.

Status: offline 		Oh I'll be buying the game. It'll be worth 80 bucks just to have it to fool around with.
But I still think it's worth pushing for as much historical accuracy and realistic limits
on play as it's possible to get. I've been waiting years to play a simulation of the 'War
in the Pacific' and I don't want another piece of garbage like PACIFIC WAR. (lots of
fun as a game, but totally worthless as a simulation).

And as usual, only the testers will show up in the credits... Maybe we should have copyrighted the ideas in order to reap royalties...

LOL. One would have to be ABLE to email to do this. I've checked for a virus so many times I've lost count. Just my darn Outlook and Norton practicing overly safe intercourse I suspect.
