When do we start discussing BOTB, and when does it get its own sub forum. I assume its well into its development stage. I like COTA, but its fun reading forums on developing games as well.

Yea, that's right! OK, let's get the ball rolling:

Will it be out for Christmas?
Will it cost less than $20?
Can I play it on a Mac?
Can I play it at 640 x 480?
Will it play on a palm pilot or my phone?

if it helps a picture of my phone is attached:

BASB,
 
We'll get to creating a new forum for Battles from the Bulge ( BFTB ). All in good time. I have spent the last few days wading through and revising an extremely long list of Task Tracker items. Paul will be merging his new forceGroup code this weekend and we should then be able to put out our first BFTB build in a week or two.

Right-click the "My Computer" icon - select "rename" - type "Mac" and hit enter. Voilà : you can now play it on a Mac.

You can play it at any time you like. After your customary mid-afternoon nap seems like a good time.

Oooh, I envy you that state-of-the-art device. That retro-look is all the rage right now, all the kids want one.

True, but it's making a terrible bulge in my pocket! (Or is that the viagra working?) [X(]

My pockets are at the back or at the side - where are yours? 8-)

All kidding aside - there's a high probability you can actually play COTA on a Mac using an Windows emulator as it is reported to work in Linux (using Cedega) without a problem.

The new Intel Macs supports hardware accelerated virtualization by using software from Parallels. I spend all my COTA time on an iMac. [:)]
