Joel Billings -> Open Call for Beta Testers (10/4/2007 11:49:29 PM)

After publishing 30 wargames covering battles of the 20th century, Gary Grigsby finally decided to design a game set earlier in history. You can always count on Gary to come up with some unique design ideas, and here's your chance to be a part of Gary's first pre-20th century design.
After being in alpha testing since January, we're now ready to move on to beta testing. We're looking for some new testers that are willing to put in time to learn and test the game during the beta stage, which should last between 3 to 6 months. We have a core group of about a half dozen alpha testers but would like to add to that. Although there are a few additional features we hope to sneak in at the end, testers will be focused on learning the game so they can identify bugs and assist us in balancing the victory conditions.
WBTS is a monthly turn based game with area movement covering the entire American Civil War. You can play either side against the AI or via Play by Email. Its interface is a descendent of the one used in World at War. This game is more complicated than World at War, and has many unique rules that will be new to most wargamers. This is not an easy game to learn how to play well, however we do have a good first draft of the manual and 16 video tutorials (almost an hour of video) that will help you learn the game.
If you are interested in becoming a Beta tester, please email karlisr@matrixgames.com. Please list your experience with computer and board wargames, especially those covering the Civil War. Please indicate roughly how much time you can devote to testing on average each week. We're hoping to sign up new testers by early next week.
