WW2 raged for (depending on when you start and stop counting) 6 years and 1 day (1st Sep 1939 to 2nd Sep 1945).

Matrix announced that it was taking-over/developing the computer version of World in Flames on Oct 21 2003. So on Oct 22 2009, we could have actually fought WW2 in the time it has taken to develop MWiF

That's right folks. The Nazi subjugation of Europe by Blitzkrieg, the long Battle of the Atlantic, the Allied bomber offensives, Japan's spectacular advance, the vast struggle on the Eastern Front, D-Day and the Allied drive into the heart of the Third Reich, the island hopping campaign in the Pacific, the development of nuclear weapons and the titanic production effort of all sides: they fit into this time period.


So a slight slippage in the release date could mean it actually happens on the utterly appropriate date of Oct 22 2009! Unless it slips a bit more, in which case "We'll all be home for Christmas..." etc etc [:'(]

Yes, but for the developpement of MWiF, the phoney war lasted for much longer, from 21 october 2003 to June or July 2005 when Steve really launched the Blitzkrieg on MWiF.

Hmmm, that would explain the fire bombing I am experiencing these days.[;)]

Oh I see Steve, sorry thought you meant firebombing of Japan [:D] When do you think you will announce the next completion date [:-] and please announce it the day before you release it [:[&o]D]
