Haven�t heard about it for quite a time. Is it still scheduled for end of THIS month in THIS year?

Hello...

Poor cynical friend. I am working on the patch, even now. Hope to have this one done by Monday. Should be released about the same time as War Plan Orange. Am not sure what the schedule of the production staff is or where the patch will be in the que. Should be a week or so.

Bye...

I'm not hiding, I'm just busy. I am in the middle of dividing corporate web content into two parts due to a sell off of a division. Talk about a project of epic scale

Hi, Frag don't forget to mention your busy setting up the "Mogami WITP, Beer and Pizza" foundation. So I can spend my twilight years playing WITP in the manner I'd like to be accustomed to.

Take your time Mike. Just having a little fun.

I'd rather see it out later if it means more improvements for the game.

Everybody is so darn serious lately!
Grab a beer, smoke a fag, and go eat some donuts. You'll feel a lot better afterwards!

Not to hijack, but that should also give an example of hor close WPO is too.

v1.5 & WPO will likely hit within a week or so of each other. Based on past intel from select individuals on various forums, this puts them at, or around, the 2nd week of April.
That's where I'd place my money. Going further, I suspect v1.5 will be released first, given WPO is a new product offerring and probably has more wickets to go through.

Since the coding is wrapping up, hopefully Frag will finally break down and put together a listing of what items were fixed and what items were added

With v1.5 likely to be the last major patch (for a very long time (my opinion)), Frag should finally get a chance to actually play a game (for pleasure).
What side do you prefer to play, Frag ?

Hi, Now it can be told. Frag has commited to play me a PBEM game once 1.50 is released.
Because of his great fear and awe of me he is holding up release of 1.50 to avoid playing.
The patch has been ready since late January. He has tickets to Ulaanbaatar (Mogolia) but is waiting for his plastic surgery to heal before going for his passport photos.

It still hasn't been released yet. He could still chicken out by delaying it even further.

I'm not usually one who follows AAR's, but this would be worth wild reading. You guys got to post this one just for the pure entertainment value. Would be can of ironic listening to either one of you complain about a sudden Soviet activation and claim you did nothing to provoke it, or other nuiances

Fear?

Ha! If I was afraid, how come I am playing Japan?

Awe?

Got me there, I am in awe of how many hours you have to play.

This is a little off-topic but I don't know where else to post it.... This is a great game. My only complaint is not being able to continue a scenario after it's officially over. In 1.5 will it be possible to continue a scenario to any point you wish?

Don't sweat restarts, they build character.

I think he means that after March whatever 1946, he'd like to keep on playing, not auto-victory.

OK Frag, what patch notes ? You mean the patch notes for v1.5 ?
These would have to be posted first, huh ?

You can't be far out from doing this, or so I suspect.

Come'on, Mike is supposedly finishing up the coding on Monday (that tomorrow in Indiana)
so the changes/fixes should pretty well be locked down. Crack open the door and let a little light out for a change.

Frag may be referring to the current What'sNew pdf file which states that (in the 1.3 update I think) the user has the option to continue the game up to the scenario end date even after the autovictory has been achieved.

I'm sure the patch isn't too far away, I think Mike said the UV one was already bubbling up the queue.

Yea that's what I mean. So, quick question - How do I continue after end date or "autovictory"?

Don't think you can.... plus even if you could I think it would break the AI.

When an autovictory condition occurs, you should be asked if you want to continue the game. Answering yes will allow you to continue up until the scenario end data. I don't think you can go any further than that.

Bodhi gets the door prize for reading the Whatsnew.pdf!

Each patch contains a new version of this file that documents all the changes you need to know about. It is required reading.
