I think it's great that Matrix and DR have decided to hold up the release of the game until today, my birthday! Thanks guys, this is the coolest birthday ever...but how did you know? I don't remember calling you guys up to remind you like I did everyone else.

Now, the only question is, do I stay in tonight to play BiN or go out with the boys to have some celebratory beers? (and not that crap JSS drinks, REAL beers [:D] )

Joe,

Within any company there are strong suits and weaknesses. It's inevitable and natural. I happen to think the artwork that Matrix produces and the manuals they compile are top rate. The wargames you produce second to none. Definitely strong points. Project management, however, is definitely a weakpoint. Hopefully, Matrix will review their project management procedures and take a lesson from what's happened here.

You guys do too great a job in all other areas to let this problem become this evident, and impact your business.

Now, where the heck is BiN! I've got my plastic all warmed up! [:D]

Go Bin!


Well, I agree with you in general - we just added an additional project coordinator for the same reason. However, in the case of DR, I'm sure you understand that project management when dealing with outside companies has its own unique challenges. This was not supposed to run into the BiN release originally and the delays have not been on our end, but we are still looking pretty good for today and I hope it turns out as well as we expect.

Regards,

- Erik

I never thought you guys were being dishonest, just inefficient or misunderstood as the result of some kind of miscommunication. I do appreciate your responses to the complaints and think you guys do deserve a pat on the back or a high-five or something. Maybe a beer.

Anyways, I think a lot of us are tired of waiting. I for one realize that I am being a bit impatient. But when you go through all the news, forums, and etc. surrounding BiN since Q1, it can seem a bit disheartening and disappointing. I'm sure you guys are doing everything you can. Thanks.(as long as it is released today[:'(])

@ thehellpetrol

I am planning to buy one or two HPS games
I am thinking of one SB and one operational games
Can you please recommend two?
(I am now living in Canada. To avoid extra cost (tarif etc) I am planning to buy through military hobbies
They have 39 selections of HPS games. If you could recommend two out of this that would be highly appreciated
I have played Korun Pocket, HTTR, Rising Sun, CM and CMBB for your information
Thank you in advance
Sure, 1st choice: Market Garden 2nd: Bulge '44 or Tobruk '41

Good to see that you and Marc are maintaining your composure in the face of all us disgruntled, impatient grogs. Always a trade-off between trying to maintain the balance between "time to market" (e.g., get whatever you can out as quickly as possible and address the other issues in the timeframes following) versus "time to volume or quality" by making sure all elements are in place for a successful product launch before the trigger is pulled.

The former approach can please the most customers in the quickest time, but could lead to bad customer experiences for the minority at the outset (and/or bad word of mouth and trade reviews), while the latter approach - at least IMHO - provides for the best long term results in terms of the quality of the experience and overall customer sat, at the expense of some disgruntled folks who want it ASAP for them and damn all the rest....

Grew up as a product manager doing formal phase/gate reviews for product launch....now running a US trading comapny for a Japanese manufacturer where my product marketers believe that as soon as it's off the loading dock, it's ready to launch ("What do you mean we should have manuals, marketing materials, software drivers, etc. in place before we release? I need sales now!)......

Bottom line is, there's never one, absolute truth when it comes to such matters. (Or in popular slang: "Damned if you do, damned if you don't!")
