Do one dare to ask where John Tiller himself is in the development team?

John is the programmer for the series, so any changes go to him and if approved are implemented by him. Actual scenario development ...

There's a group on Facebook with about 600 members that can be used to find opponents for the JTS games - https://www.facebook.com/groups/JTSOppGroup

You did a great job on the units Mitchell. <salute>

Scott continues to work on it, and push updates to his testing team...not sure when a new public update will be released however.

<r> I like to use the Highlight Organization function - this way if I select a Brigade leader all of his units are highlighted...if a Divisional Leader, everyone in the entire Division and so forth. It changes based on the unit selected and is, at least to me, more ascetically pleasing. <E>;-)</E ...

This page has a variety of sites which support the JTS games, where you can discuss things with others...but as noted above, there is no "official" JTS forum: http://www.johntillersoftware.com/Resources.php

Manual is online. But it seems to be a composite manual for all Tiller Naval games: There are sections & pictures about (Japanese) CVs, German WW1 BBs, Chinese boomers, aircrafts, Sonobuoys, missiles...<br/>

According to the website ...

I too would never buy software that requires internet access everytime I use it.

And that's the point - an Internet connection IS NOT required for any use past the first time.

Sure, 15 years in the industry of supporting the products above and beyond any other company lends no credibility... JT was releasing upgrades for the Battleground series after he left Talonsoft & supports HPS titles now too. Sure, no precedence there... what ever guys...

Probably not - that's why the second activation was added, to prevent people from having to juggle between their desktop and laptop.

<t> The HPS server crashed and Scott is in the process of trying to get it back up and running.<br/>
<br/>
There's a couple misconceptions about the DRM from JTS in this thread too. One of which was corrected, its 2 concurrent activations - not 2 activations only. But also, you don't have to be ...

<t> For the last dozen years John had his personal site up (where the original 32-bit updates for the BG series could be downloaded) and his personal email was on that. Its not on the new one & E hit the nail on the head - time. Its not that he won't talk to customers, its that he is strapped for ...

<t> I can't speak for Matrix as I'm not affiliated with them. They purchased the old Talonsoft products and only contracted JT to get them current for modern OS's, so again two totally different operations. The approach being taken by JTS is considered our best option of the ones available to us ...
