Ooo, let me help in Ralph's absence. Here are some of my ideas:
-Tank weld modelling
-Boot leather degradation (country specific, of course)
-RAF pilot banter experience tracking
-Shovel sharpness
-Percent of bullets stopped by personal effects carried in the chest pocket

I, for one, am terribly offended. I was promised uniforms and all you gave me were naked women.

They are in uniform. They are members of the new nazi elite units. Namely the Sextruppen. [:D]

That is so offensive. Europeans think they invented nudity. It is just another example of their decadence.
If The Lord approved of nudity He wouldn't have invented clothes for us to hide in. The Shame of it!!
What if one of those boobs got loose like happened at the Super Bowl that time?? That nearly toppled civilisation!

Hi guys,

In response to the many requests late last year, I just wanted to let you know that we are very interested in continuing to develop and improve TOAW, including the possibility of a TOAW IV in the future. We've been in contact with Ralph, who we would really like to be the developer going forward as he has been in the past. Ralph is going through some tough times and I think it will be some time before he is ready to start a new project or invest significant development time. Our preference is to give Ralph some time and hope that he will be available in the medium-term, but I know a lot of you are impatient for faster progress. Unfortunately I don't have better news right now than to say that whatever may come, it is not our intention to "retire" TOAW, it's our goal to continue and improve it.

We appreciate very much the work of all members of the TOAD team and the community in helping us improve TOAW to date and we're also interested in your feedback on where we should go with TOAW in the future.

Regards,

- Erik

I am little impatient. But I am curious if there are improvements in Ralph personal difficulties? And my best wishes for him.

This shot would seem appropriate. I also wonder if Baghdad Bob has anything to say on the matter.

237 TOAW III fans signed the petition and I am not pursuing my Kharkov '43 project atm. Instead I am stuck at the Ostfront in major operations (PBEM) versus my trust Scotsman, Uncle Roger, who is a worthy opponent. Real pity about the months I went through tons of material to update the TO&E... for KH'43.

To Erik or anybody on the TOAW development team,
Is it possible for someone to give us an update? Any news even if it is nothing has happened since last update is better than nothing.

What does one hand clapping sound like? It sounds like the progress being made with TOAW 3.5. [>:]

Good news are that Kapitan Kloss is working on a ignore-losses bug fix; currently testing his latest beta. So far it's doing more than OK. I'd be happy if you Goldie and another TOAW lad could test my Kharkov '43. It's nearly done and it has been tested by my fellow Germans for ages.
