The Countdown begins!

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 sceptisism

Actually, I said "by the end of next week" and I said that this Tuesday.

well thats good news, my weeks are getting a wee bit muddled up though [:)]

[AW1Steve]

According to the posts , it said the 14th . That would be even later--yesterday. So in fairness , we really shouldn't expect it till well after the Thanksgiving holiday. Sometime after the 28th. Heck I promise to hold pity comments till December 1st. Not even of the "are we there yet variety?". I just appreciate your keeping us as informed as you can. [:)]

From my understand, there was a post saying perhaps the end of the this week (ie today), but possibly the week after. There was some more post from Erik which cleared it up to be more accurately at the end of next week (around the 22nd/23rd) or the week after (28th/29th).

No worries, folks, I just want you to keep in mind that we have not been giving any firm dates until quite recently. You may have heard some predictions from others, but if you don't hear it from me then it's not really coming from inside our production process. Right now we are doing everything we can to get HCE out before Thanksgiving. We'll see how that goes!

UH... technical question here:
 
Can somebody explain to a poor, dumb non-US citizen what date exactly Thanksgiving is? [&:]

For US only - Other countries may have a different date but - The fourth Thursday in November - which falls on Thursday the 22 of November this year. 2007.

Non-US Citizen perhaps. Poor , well your finacial situation is none of my buisiness. But hardly dumb. Maybe Matrix can give the whole world a Thanksgiving present. If not , I'm sure there will be something for Christmas.

What was that.... oh I think it's Matrix salivating over all the cash they'll make! [:@] I don't suppose that anyone wants to put out a couple of more screen shots to pacify some of us for the next short while? Just checking!

Your Screen Shots are here: http://www.matrixgames.com/games/screens.asp?gid=325

[dyoox01]

I can't believe it's really being released.[:D]

[SteveF2006]

Thanks for the updated screen shots. I was disappointed to see that HCE was not mentioned in the latest news letter! It makes me wonder......[:(] No more delays please!!!!!!!! [:@]

Folks,

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

We're doing final checks now, everything is pretty much done - today is our last possible release date for this week for various reasons related to the holiday here in the US, so either it will be out today or (if any major last minute issues come up) it will be out next week. We're hoping for today!

[SteveF2006]

I'm not sure how to spell this but.... Yeeeeehaaawww! [:D] Now I'm to the point where I may be ready to pull out that over-heated credit card! I hope it hasn't melted with all this excitement. I have been watching this form for sometime but have not added too much to it. I am very excited to get into some dicussions regarding this new variations of Harpoon Classic as I have played Harpoon regularly for about ten years!

No kidding.

I need to get hornet leader, close combat modern tactics, advanced tactics and harpoon.  I just have to find a way to hide the cc statement from the wife.

Everything is looking good for a release today! Stand by...
