Erik,
 
Just a quick one - my order is still showing up as back ordered?  Is there a problem with the orders coming to Australia?
 
Would appreciate your letting me know?
 
Cheers
 
Rod

<t> Erik,<br/>
<br/>
Thank you so much for all of your efforts. I do not think I am the only one who will offer their thanks and nor should I be.<br/>
<br/>
The downside of shipping all the back order is that because we will all be so busy playing the game that the forum may get a bit quietish ...

<t> Seems to me that shipping of orders is happening in some places and not in others. Can someone please tell me who is responsible for shipping to Australia (ie are they coming from the UK or the US or down town Slovenia or somewhere like that?) Seems that us in Australia always have to wait until ...

<t> Folks,<br/>
<br/>
I believe that a couple of flying airframes had been delivered, however they did not work in a manner to which the RAN actually wanted?<br/>
<br/>
Rumour has it that if they are left in the one place for two long some Chief Petty Officer will get his troops to paint them ...

<t> Folks,<br/>
<br/>
Not sure which is the right place for this thread - but what I am seeing in the press today is that Australia's new Minister for Defence has cancelled the very, very troubled Seasprite Program - at a cost of probably in excess of AU$1 billion and whatever contract termination ...

<r> Folks,<br/>

HI - I have not been in the Forum for some time now, mostly out of frustration about the absolute farce the whole development and release of this game has been and when I have been coming in as a guest to see what was happening, it became apparent that nothing has changed.<br ...

Folks,

Nothing seems to have changed - will see what happens at the end of this week as far as a release date goes.......

Rod

<t> Hi folks,<br/>
<br/>
Been sitting in the background patiently watching all this banter go back and forth.<br/>
<br/>
I think caution would be a good thing - the announcement that HCCE is due for release at the end of this week (which we are already at) should be viewed with a little ...

<t> Lets see -<br/>
<br/>
Funny how it has gone really quiet in here since the "startling" revelation that Matrix had not really mislead anyone about the release date - seems we all just misconstrued the lack of communication from Matrix the wrong way and that an official communication about ...

<t> Bungle old bean.....<br/>
<br/>
Nothing like a good one liner from a classic movie - cannot recall if I had seen the whole flick or not. There was a good one in the Battle of River Plate - when the Commodore South Atlantic asked the (British) CO of the Kiwi cruiser how he was getting along ...

<r> Bungle,<br/>
<br/>
I guess you are right bathurst is the go for today - as yet I do not have broadband nor adsl - alas i am still chained to dialup which is a real pain at times (especially teamed with optus).<br/>
<br/>
Anyhow - to answer your other question - Bedford Incident on DVD: <br ...

<t> Bungle et all,<br/>
<br/>
Yup - understand chooks........ <br/>
<br/>
And yes the point is that if Matrix actually communicated instead of using the old "sorry - maybe next month" line that would work for most of us - and if they said it would be out xmas and it was released sometime before ...

<t> Folks,<br/>
<br/>
Think i've said it before - no one at Matrix is listening - and even if they are they are certainly not responding to anyone's request for a release date - it would appear that they will get to it when they get to it and until then are happy to bury their heads in the sand ...

Bungle

Do I pick up just a little bit of a cynical outlook there?

Or maybe I am just gettin old.......

I did think to use the "beatings" thing (we do know the saying down here) but on reflection decided that we are talking about game programmers here and they would probably enjoy a good beating rahter than it being a deterent or an incentive to push to finish the game for ...

<t> Folks,<br/>
<br/>
Any truth in the rumour that there may (just may) be a (slight) delay in publishing the game because it all has to be written and the manuals reprinted to reflect a name change from HCCE 2005 to HCCE 2007 maybe 2008?<br/>
<br/>
Just jokes - nice to everyone retaining their ...

<t> Skip,<br/>
<br/>
Round and round and round we go.<br/>
<br/>
What I guess we really want from Matrix is some straight answers. I don't believe for one minute that they would not be in control of the development and release process. Someone at Mtrix needs to put there hand up and take ...

<t> Folks,<br/>
<br/>
By the distinct lack of frenzied action and definite lack of updates in here, I would say that if it ain't advertised by now then it won't be out in September..... maybe in a month or so.......<br/>
<br/>
Hang in there all and try to be patient........ perhaps if we wait ...

<t> Skip,<br/>
<br/>
Always plenty of space down under for more people - we do have other stuff than beaches you know..... One of my favourite spots is down by the bay, sitting in a pub looking out over a (small) marina eating a 1 kilo t-bone steak with eggs, chips and onions and a couple of nice ...

Skip,

Guess we will have to wait and see. As for being west of the west coast - you really should try down under sometime - it is a pretty neat place to be.

Cheers,

Rod
