Progress

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Matrix can't do the 16th due to all the scheduling constraints around Xmas. If we don't make the 9th it will slip to the new year.

A shame but, rushing will only bite you on the backside later. Get it right and then get it out.

I go back to days of Fire Brigade so keep up the good work.




All the best

I agree. Most people in here are sold anyway so skip the demo until later if that's a delaying factor, otherwise we might drown by drooling from anticipation. Besides my old Fire Brigade won't help me much because there isn't a computer old enough that can run it.

Now... back to COTA! [;)]

(BTW, Thanks for the progress report )

I agree too...everyone is already sold based on past track record, no need for demo out of the gate.

Heck, I would even pay for this game now in current state and help test out the final things....worst scenerio is everything would be fixed in the first patch:)

Our plan is still to put out a demo. Paul has done the preliminary work for generating the demo. We're just waiting on the game engine to be stabilised before we test that.

I think the demo is a good idea. I can play it while the game is downloading from the matrix [8D]

I'm actually really looking forward to the demo. Will play it PvP with a buddy and try to sell him on the game (and then we could PvP the entire game!)

Ron,

You need to get out a bit more, mate! Thanksgiving is held in the fourth week of November. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving

LOL! If we can't get a public holiday for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, maybe we can lobby for this!

Good catch. We'll get that fixed.

Also it's not showing the new box cover art.
