Its a very busy time of year for us with all the conventions.  GenCon just ended and we are off to New Orleans for The Heat of the Battle Convention next.  If we were all here at the same time I could keep everyone up to date a little better.  Once you see the new box covers up in the game section you will know we are very close.  I do my best to keep everyone up to date but things do slip and for that I am sorry but the only other way to handle it is to say anything until its done.

Now I am planning to have this out before the end of the month at this point.

David

perhaps those of us who own the original games should start a email write in to www.matrixgames.com.  If they got several hundred emails say in the next couple of weeks.......well I guess its not going to happen but it is nice to think about. :-)

as for E5 maybe a long walk or a cold shower would help you out.  Did you ever think that the extra time is an effort to get the reissue right in spite of not at least trying to fix the AI?

They also manage to publish some great games that were created by some smaller companies that also might never had made it either.

but with guys like E5 you will never get them to see the light so to speak. All they ever do is complain and no matter what a company does it just is not good enough. So maybe he will go away if we just ignore him.

Status: offline 		I am on your side. The games from Matrix are the best. Development time is something that can not be called that close most of the time. You care about the games you sell and work hard to make them better. My ONLY real concern with the battleground series was the really bad AI. I will take your word that it could not be improved but it is a shame because the series is really nice but I have very few people I can play against in person and can not devote enough computer time for an email game. All the games in the series work fine on my XP Pro systems but buying the new version might at least let me run them on Vista at some point in the future. Just keep up the good work and ignore the nay sayers.

Status: offline 		I'm just starting to get interested in the Napoleonic Wars. In fact, right now I'm reading my first book on the topic, Adam Zamoyski's "Moscow 1812". The first time these games were released by Talonsoft, I bought "Waterloo" but never played it much. I'm going to jump right in as soon as they're released this time and give it a go. As a huge WWI and WWII fan, it'll be interesting to play battles in this era. Really looking forward to it.

In the meantime, TOAW3, Guns of August and War Plan Orange are keeping me off the streets and out of the bars.
