Status: offline 		Harry Rowland posted numerous messages on WiF discussion group (Yahoo) yesterday. Most of his comments were regarding some rule change suggestions coming out of Euro WiFcon. It seems that Russia got toasted 50% of the time and they're trying to figure out ways of improving Russia's survivability. At the end of one of his messages, in reply to a question on cWiF, he offered this nugget:

quote:

As to CWiF, Matrix are beavering away on it and expect it to be out next year.
The more e-mails sent to Matrix will see it going up the priority list on their
production schedule.

Regards
Harry


Hmmm, fire away, boys!

Did the Soviets conquer Persia (see: WiF strategy quiz for Japan)?

What optins are used?

Anyone care to differ?

Why would Harry say next year if it's not coming out till 2007? Is Harry out of the loop at Matrix?

You'll have to log on to http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/wifdiscussion/
to find all that out...there is a raging argument going on about altering game balance to prevent Russian blow-outs...especially in regards to Russo-Japan diplomacy. Very interesting.

Harry is a nice guy so dont get me wrong, but his release dates are a little let me just say 'optimistic' at times.
