The builds keep coming, just no release yet, one of the big hurdles, getting new scenarios into the WestPac battleset has been conquered.  I think the main delay now is waiting for the recompiled instruction manual to arrive (but I could be wrong).  A few of us are working at getting a bunch of new platform photos in place, a very time consuming process, but a distraction as we await each new build  (that'd be us discussing which of the multiple photos provided by Darren Buckley to use for each platform).

I hadn't thought to ask, but I think it's great that the manual will get an overhaul too.

There is a target date yes, I guess only Matrix gets to announce dates and I'm not with Matrix.  A target date is just a guess but it should be a pretty good guess.  Perhaps a bit of trivia, on what date did Germany finally control all of Crete?
 
Even nuttier, two of my scenarios will be in the WestPac battleset!

From www.advancedgaming.biz
 
"HCE RC1
5.27.2007 We have closed out the final punch list of bugs, and then some. Database is being closed up, and the manual is in first draft. Target date is June 2007. "
 
I think I'm out of the guessing game as for release dates, too stressful [&:]

Not really, waiting on a revision of the manual to come back from Matrix.  That did give us some time to beat on the installer, more beatings to come [8D]

How about some screenshots? Short little battle report? perhaps a well deserved smack of Iran?
