Development and Beta Test Manager Selected

Post by David Heath »

Hello Everyone

I would like to make this official and announce that Brian "Siberian HEAT" King will be stepping into the role of Development Manager. [&o] I am sure Brian will be along any minute. Remember if you want to be on the beta teams you need to know that Brian is happy to take all types of cash and gifts. [:D] Honestly we are very lucky and honored to have him on board. Please give him as much help as possible.

Many thanks to David at Matrix for wanting to work so closely with the TOAW community, and allowing us such a strong voice on this update. I see great things coming for our favorite game! We've got a very strong team in the works, and I'll have more on that soon.

Ok, I have one original TOAW manual [160] pages ready for a gift bribe. All pages are present, though a few are falling out. Pretty decent condition though. Lets cut a deal here...

I have original manuals for TOAW 1, TOAW 2 Modern and TOAW COW.

TOAW COW is actually the thinnest of all three, as I believe equipment tables were ommited from it.

I thought the tables in the TOAW were a waste of paper. 160 pages is nice to have, but not when half of it is not even read. Put the tables in an xml, i'd rather have strategy info for filler space.

But then again, maybe they didn't want anyone to complain "if only they had put the table info in the printed manual".

I'll see your manuals and raise you mint copies of TOAW, TOAW II, WotY and CoW. Brian if you still need Beta Testers I would like to volunteer.

I used them a lot for my earliest (solo) Grand Strategy projects.
