Nope, it's out there now. After the weekend, look for the new estimated release date.

Sometime in 2014.

If that's the case does it mean the world is going to end before AE is finished ?

No, the release of AE was what they were predicting.  The calendar ends because everyone is too embroiled in the game to maintain calendars anymore. :)

Was looking at the AAR's belwo and .....

If it not too nitpicky, caould you guys change it from PH to Oahu? I have always hated this. The bases on the Island are far more than just PH (hickam, Wheelr, Ewa, Bellows, etc, etc, etc)

Do you really mean that???? You know this will set the timetable back by at least 60 days, and that's if Terminus doesn't get ahold of it before the others...

I don't care it they call it Tishamingo as long as the game gets out....

Not nitpicky, but I think it should remain as "Pearl Harbor" given that the name is so well known in the context of the Pacific war.

After all, those other installations were attacked on Dec 7 but the rallying cry did not become "Remember Oahu!"...

In the upcoming weeks or months is there any chance at all you can post a pic of the lower solomons for us to salivate over?

Map questions from jrcar's AAR

His screenshot on post #38 shows a road vs trail (found in WitP-1) between Chungking to Sian. If true, this should help get supplies and troops from southern China to the northern half.

His screenshot on post #78 shows no trail or roads connecting Burma with India. It seems to show that there are breaks between the two. I don't think there is any way to build roads, so how will the Allies be supplied in '43 or later when they counter-attack into Burma??

Thanks in advance!

RE: Burma, I wonder if those big, hexside rivers count as a supply path.  There is a road to the river from Imphal, and the river flows by the main Burmese bases.

They should, but I think you need AKs.

Is it known if there will be a hard copy map or a compendium of screen shots to make one's own?

Rivers do not count as supply routes. Doing this was originally discussed, but it was not included in the project scope.
