When??!!??

The new Cold War turned hot wargame from On Target Simulations, now expanded with the Player's Edition! Choose the NATO or Soviet forces in one of many scenarios or two linked campaigns. No effort was spared to model modern warfare realistically, including armor, infantry, helicopters, air support, artillery, electronic warfare, chemical and nuclear weapons. An innovative new asynchronous turn order means that OODA loops and various effects on C3 are accurately modeled as never before.

When??!!??

Post by Mad Russian »

To save you all the trouble I'll start the inevitable thread of...WHEN????!!!!????

As the hectic Dog Days of Summer begin to wind down there should appear the clouds of a Red Storm. Could it be at that time that they let slip the Dog's of War?

Good Hunting.

We are now listed in the Beta-Testers Section of the site as a game to sign up for as a beta tester. Still not sure about the selection process on this new system, but you can get your name on the list.

Look for Beta-Test at the top right of the main Matrix page. [:)]

Late summer? The campaign season will almost be over! ;)

I can (grudgingly!) wait on the game, but I'd also love to help you guys if possible. I've been waiting *forever* for a platoon-level (best scale for this era IMHO) Cold War Gone Hot game. I've still got my ancient copies of Red Star/White Star and Mechwar '77 under my bed. So, what I'm saying is - I'm qualified lol. I've got literally every book I could find on Pact vs NATO from the mid-70's to '89. Currently reading "Red Thrust" by Steven Zaloga, which is great fun since it's entirely from the Pact point of view.

Anyway, shoot me a PM and let me know if/how I can help. People who are "into" this subject matter gotta stick together. :)

Kondor, if you go to the main Matrix home page, there is an option tab at the top right of the screen for beta testers. We are one of the listed games.

Update. All scenarios are finished and pounding the Beta Test team severely!

The campaigns are being finished so they can be tested and PBEM testing is about to start.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the Matrix staff working hard to get ready to put FPC:RS in your hands when we hand it over to them.

Soon...very soon.

We may pull a few more testers in the next week or two once we resolve issues with PBEM and campaigns. Both are very high priority for us right now.

The game is running so well that the code has been locked. That's a major mile stone in the development of the game!!

It's a huge testament to the dedication and talent of the team to get to this point. Everyone, from the Beta Testers to the developers, is working hard to get this game ready for shipping. [&o] [&o]

... But we are still squashing bugs in PBEM++ and the campaign and getting remaining features up and running in those areas. We are getting much closer! [:D]
