It is the nature of the beast. There is no such thing as a complete or final OOB. Version 8 will not be perfect or complete. There can be no such thing because you are working with a game (yes, a game) that only has a limited number of OOB slots per nation and as such has to make compromises. Revision then depends on the judgment of who is doing the revising (in this case Bryan). But the point is that the game has had YEARS of revising under a variety of revisionists (it's Bryan's turn this time). Every revision reaches a point of diminishing returns where enough is enough. Enough was supposed to be enough last July. It is now nearly September. Like Michael Jordan retiring from basketball, I've been around SPWAW since the beginning and heard many claims that "This will be the final revision." Whether it really is the final revision this time is moot. We have waited long enough. I'd rather have 7.9 today than 8.0 for Christmas. Enough is enough.
I understand how you feel but the final release is up to David Heath as he is in charge of MatrixGames. Just hang on - it will be worth the wait!
