Hahaha In my case, very atipycal, I am usually able to take them whenever I want, unless there is a peak at work, which is very unusual.

Besides, this year I intend to take 3 additional months off because of tax reasons affecting only this year, and I also will get 3 weeks off to compensate the many hours studying hungarian language in the evenings, through the UE program FORCEM which will pay the firm my salary to encourage studying while working.

Plus (1 month reduced to) three weeks (because those 3 months don't give right to holidays), plus the bunch of additional days I have, I am going to work like 7 months in all this year if everything goes like projected (atipycal and expensive, three months w/o salary, yay!) so she will get bored to have me home, even though I will take a course on advanced accountancy to renew my knowledge... [:)]

abj sorry to read that, wish you the best.

Tax reasons what are taxes [:D] I am one of the 66% of Americans who pay no taxes nice huh. [8|] Why the Hungarian lanuage? In the good old USA we would all be better off to learn to speak Spanish because in a few years it will be the national language[;)] Wow how about ABJ.

abj9562 - good to hear from you again. I never realised your eyesight was that bad [:(] Keep well.

Bo,

First if you read my post I placed a wink on there and also clearly put JK (Just Kidding). My point was you used to be on one side and flipped and I was on the other side and flipped. As to my military record I have done Desert Storm, IRAQ and Afghanistan. I currently have 26 years in the US Army. What have you done?

If you took my statement as an attack my sincere apologies. I just remember when you used to be closer to werewolf's opinions than where you are today.

I agree with lotromon,

What began life as an interesting game with a number of interesting ideas has morphed into a monstrosity that has taken almost 10 years to get onto a computer! Almost half a million WHEN? hits!!

There'll be an audience of about 50 grognard playing, similar number who buy but get swamped by the detail and a couple of hundred wishing they tried to emulate WIF version 1 rather than its later hyped up offspring.

Interested lurker, not going to buy it.

Well, thats up to you.

However the amount of traffic on this and the "when?" thread tends to weigh against your opinion of the overall interest- and it's certainly not just grognards from what I read.

It's not the game that has morphed, WIF itself is the "monstrosity" (and I say that with immense affection as a player!:-)) whose intricacies, ambiguities and sheer complexity still deal out unforseen logical issues even this far into testing.

I've tended to avoid these threads and kept my head down with testing. But I would like to just say guys, keep the faith. We are not far off now and this game is so much more than CWIF

Well, the fact that they post a thread saying they are looking for 10 new beta testers leads me to think that they see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Wow when I read a post like this it hurts a little. JeffK you are a Matrix Legion of Merit poster and I have to respect that. I know it does not mean you are a fan or player of WIF board game or the ADG Cwif game. But I asume you play many other Matix's games. I have never played the board game but I have the CWIF game and it's pretty decent if you don't mind playing against yourself [:)] I have always looked for a good semi-complex war game, WITP is a little too complex. this game seems to be between that and maybe Third reich and the SC series on Battlefront. About a year ago I was in your camp and was vehement about my feelings in posting much to my dismay. I was frustrated as everyone else is here but when Red Prince started to do the AAR's my spirits picked up a little. I complained and was a little nasty at times but since then I came to realize how terribly complicated this game is with all its rules I have trully changed. I dont know if you know this but it took ADG people almost 5 or 6 years to complete CWIF. Steve's version makes that game look like a loaf of unsliced bread [;)] The old saying it's better than a loaf of sliced bread is really true [&o] This I do know that once this game comes to be it will be backed to the hilt by Steve and Matix. There are some games put out by Matrix that are not backed up and are left to die on the vine [they shall remain ? for the moment unless someone asks me] [:-]] And I heard but don't hold me to this if you buy the game you get a weekend at Steve's house on OAHU when his renovations are done[:D] hopefully in the next 5 years[&:] I had to edit this part, "hopefully in the next five years" I meant the renovations not the game [:)]
