Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by Finland of the middle east?

[andym]

I have succumbed.I couldnt wait any longer.I got HPS North German Plain and the Danube Front games.Most excellent they are and should tide me over nicely untill MW 1&2 are released.If there are any players out there that want a PBEM of either of them do PM me.

[tide1527]

They are good games andy a bit slanted towards WP victory though.

[markw]

I just bought John Tiller's Spanish Civil War Squad Battles, hoping this and my PS3 will tide me over. [:D]

Just out of idle cuiriousity, will the Chinese Invasion of North Vietnam be covered? I remember something about it on the news, circa, 79-81 time frame...i honestly cant remember.

this was during my party days...but i do remember something about 100,000 Chinese "Milita" invading a few provinces in the North. CBS news reported it for a little while then things died down.

While the primary focus is the Second Indochina War (the US involvement, there are a few scenarios that also deal with the First (French) and Third Indochina Wars (China).

The plan is...

NATO vs Warsaw Pact (which will include a number of conflicts: Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Grenada, Falklands, Afghanistan and a number of hypothetical Cold --> Hot type scenarios; Cuba, Middle East, etc.)

Modern Korea

Africa (various African border wars)

I am writing the manual at the moment. It's a HUGE, HUGE task in itself.

Apart from that,

... I have a few scenarios left to build and test for the Middle East that deal with Jerusalem in 1948 and 1967.

... another linked campaign for the Middle East to build and test.

... a few scenarios to build and test dealing with the First Indochina War for Vietnam.

... a linked campaign for Vietnam to build and test.

... a few video tutorials and bootcamp scenarios (with write-ups).

... overall functionallity test.

That's it.

When those are complete, the game will be ready for release as the 1.00 version. As I have mentioned many times before, this will be a living game, so will be UPDATED with additional units, organizations, campaigns, scenarios and features as time goes forth - same as we are doing with the Matrix Campaign Series.

Hope that helps

Ok, maybe I missed it, but is the Korean War I being completely left out of the series?

No, my mistake.. that will be part of Volume II as well as a stand alone game.
