Erik I didn't know it was that far along. I have to say that this is my most anticipated game since I started gaming 40 yrs ago with the AH game Blitzkreig. 4 of us spent more than a few all nighter's playing SPI's War in the East and I fell in love with the period and scope of the campaign. ( almost cost me my future wife! ) I have read most of the posts and the commitment that seems to have gone into this game has amazed me. I wish I had the time to playtest, but I must say thanks to all of the effort that has gone into the game and the constant info that has been available almost making us part of the process. I'm sure I am not alone when I say I am waiting to support the game with a purchase. Based on what I have seen I'm sure I won't be disapointed whenever it is complete. I am willing to wait so they get it right! In the meantime I'm going back to shooting down allied B-17's in BTR which will probably have to move to 2nd on my all time list of favorite games.

Thanks!

Sorry, November 23rd is not the scheduled release date - where are you seeing this? We are releasing a game on November 23rd, but it will be Revolution Under Siege.

http://www.matrixgames.com/products/396/details/Revolution.Under.Siege.

War in the East still looks good for a pre-Christmas release though. The manual printing has just finished and they are on their way back to our warehouses.

Regards,

Manual printing? Are you saying we can buy the game with a manual?

Wodin the manual has so many pages, you'll be wondering if you've just ordered the Encylopedia Britannica with your game.

That's maybe just a little bit of an overstatement...

Jaw!

He sounds young to me! I've got 40 years in this hobby and I believe this game will be what I dreamed about all those years ago. No counters for the dog to run over, a great AI and maybe some PBEM if my schedule allows. I enjoyed WIR but it was not like WITE (SPI) which at the time was stae of the art. I think I get to play at my own pace without the time commitment which was so easy when I was blowing off college. You get a feel for people if you read this forum and all the info points to an amazing game. I pretty sure I won't be giving up sex but I don't think it's a requirement to download the game. ( wife laughing in the background )Again many thanks to all of you who have worked to bring this game to the market.

Thought I'd add that the release of WITE is especially meaningful to me as I've been an ardent fan of GG's WIR since the first rendition, back in the mid-80s, on my old Apple IIe. [8D]

A month from now you will be apologizing to me.

Considering that I spent nearly two months as a late alpha tester, I can guarantee you that I will not. It's good, and I'll be buying it, but it's not THAT good. No computer game is.

And I've been working as a developer on this game for 5 years so I guess it's a question of taste. For people like Jimbo who liked the monster board games of the 70's like SPI's War in the East and GDW's Fire in the East, this game will be a very satisfying experience. It was obviously hyperbole on my part to say it was almost as good as sex but I was trying to make a point that only people who had slogged through those monster board games would truly appreciate.

My opinion is naturally biased so regard it as a "brain fart" if you wish but I don't think the serious historical gamers will be disappointed with this product.

One of my favourite aspects of the game is the ability to attach support units to divisions. Almost endless scope for experimentation and customization there.

Erik you tease us so well...How does WW2 in Europe sound; based on the WitE engine lets say from 1936-1946 [sm=Cool-049.gif] then some way to tie the Pacific and European Theatres together in one mega (I'll need a divorce Lawyer) game.... Anyway bottom line is Matrix Rocks just keep doing what you guys do best....[sm=00000436.gif]
