So we all hope it will be this year.

We're working hard.

I just said to our tester team that we can't make any promises on date, but we can promise this is going to look great. If you're an old TOH_BTR or BOB player then you will not recognize the game, it's totally different, it plays different and you have a devoted support team.

If you're new to it, then I think you're going to be suitably impressed with the scale and scope.

Harley,

will the tools you've done for BTR be integrated in the game ? Or at least included in the download ?

Harley,

I'd like to answer this question in two ways, if I may. First in my normal voice, then in a sort of silly high-pitched whine.

The tools were designed primarily to address issues in the exe - poor xp gain, xp issues after 1944, AC loadout bugs, detachment orphans. The list goes on. I hope these tools are not necessary in the new cut.

<now the silly high pitched whine>

I have not re-developed these tools for ED-BTR. To do this would take away time from the game code itself. There are also other issues one might guess at what with being on the team...

Plus, some of the issues the editor is set up to correct, is being corrected without it :)

HS Is the text display going to be a diff font than from BTR? I've found the weird font hard to read on some pages in current BTR (I'm not sure what the current font type is called)

Edited from last night post -

Funny thing Harley, I just tried to do a screen print into MS Paint to show a pic of what I'm talking about & when I load the game & go into one of the summary screens or even the main screen with the tab on the bottom it looks like what I'm talking about yet when I paste it into Paint it does look like New Times Roman & fine. Is there some kind of text font setting I can edit? I've seen this same thing on my home pc which is a 17" as well as my laptop which is much a lcd & smaller screen. To describe it, it looks like a shadow or bold print on some of the letters or parts of the letters. Maybe get digital camera & take a photo since paste in Paint not working [&:]
