Nah. They can join Canada, Australia and India.

They'll have to learn how to play cricket, though.

You asked for it now... [:D][:D][:D]
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

If someone thinks the arbitrary figure of $130 or $140 for BOTH games is too much then all they have to do is wait for the matrix Christmas sale this December and buy WITP. Logic dictates a newcomer to AE needs to cut their teeth on WITP beforehand.

EUBanana sounds not so hard... well but i like football better[:D][:D] or Volleyball:) Well maybe you should have asked for a some Pacific Model for Father's Day or something Sardaukar??[:D]

Last weekend my GF suprised me she purhased a HMS Victory kit made by Ravell some made for 200th aniversary of Trafalgar with glue and paints inside and said to me we will be building it toghter[:D] I was amazed i gave her the cannons to paint and she spend over an hour painting without compalining[:D] Unfortunatly we had only one paintbrush so we could paint one thing at a time and after she did the cannons i did the deck and we had to finish for that day[:D] But well she is improving maybe i will show her AE[:D][:D] Right now she is playing some on-line broswer strategy game:)

Erik: I appreciate all your work as I know how programs are made (I am IT-Tester junior myself). So there are many documents lying somewhere in your drawer surely.
Few of them could even have something to do with "plans, mandays, effort, statistics" and similar content. If some of them could be looked into and few statistics posted here (of course it depends on Matrix policy - I am just curious)...

Like total mandays (design, development, testing, release) yet, number of added/edited Use Cases, total number of Bugs (by category if possible), ...

Some of the chronical whinners should maybe faint and stop whinning a bit [:)]

 I just like the irony of our game manuals having to cross the pacific as a release holdup. [:D]

If my memory serves me right, I think Erik mentioned that a slightly better priced packaged deal would be available upon initial release. Just my 2 cents. I am buying as soon as I am able but I do realize the value of WITP whereas those that do not have WITP would have to jump and take risk that game would be worth it. I have been burned before and didnt feel like I had gotten my monies worth. All part of being a gamer I guess [:)]

I am trying to help my impatience by reading "Fire in the Sky" again...and again...[8D] And had wife to order me more history books from Amazon for my next month birthday. [:D]

Not exactly arbitrary. Vanilla is 69.99. Erik has stated that AE will be at or under the cost of Vanilla. My basic math skills say...between 130 and 140.

Lord help me if I ever accidently lose my disk or it gets scratch.

Speaking for chronic whiners everywhere [:D] asking for more information regarding a product that will take me 8 hours to earn the money so I can afford it is hardly whining. Its being financially responsible (according to my redheaded dictator).

On another note...Printing the Manuals in China? really? [:-] For shame.

I think the "for shame" goes to the domestic printers who can't deliver competitive prices.

Rob, why don't you burn 2 or three more copies? It is completely legal. I have a disk here at home, one copy at work in the safe and one copy at a friends house. I have it copied on all three of my hard disks and one on my flash drive. BTW, these all include the latest patches also. I am taking no chances. [:D]

Oh we could get into a whole political debate regarding this. Suffice to say that printers here probably have to charge higher prices to make up for the lack of a marketplace when all the work is going overseas. This country is rapidly reaching a point where we are all consumers...the problem with that is if everyone is a consumer and all the jobs are overseas, then no one is going to have any money to "consume".
