Hi Awac,
 
Coding and graphics are finished. Its just some loose ends that have to be tied up.
I hope we can still make end of september, but it is not only for me to say.
 
Kind regards,
Victor

I just got the news from Matrix that it will probably be October.
On the other hand its good to realize that every month of delay will give you a more polished product.

I too am anxious for this game, but am always content to wait for any reasons that will result in a complete game/fewest bugs. Plus I'll be waiting to order the physical product plus the full printed manual.
 
Speaking of which, will the manual be available when the "physical product" becomes available, or might there be a wait as with other Matrix WGs (TOAW3, et al)?

I dont mind waiting either, but i must admit i wouldnt mind having the game right here and now [:D]
Its been a long time since ive been so excited about a new matrixgame.

But these boards are very much dead. I really hope matrix will stair the pot a bit when its realeased so it can get some attention.

Vic, isnt there any new info you can share with us? or a new detailed AAR or anything really [&o] what about the game manual [:'(]

We've been juggling a lot of releases getting ready for the pre-Christmas crunch and everyone here is working long hours. Advanced Tactics is near the very top of the list, but there are still some things remaining to be done to get it to gold. We'll keep you posted, I think a release before the end of October is a good bet.

Its now Friday 19th October. Any hint on whether the end of October is still viable for the release? Vic, I know your probably finished with the main game development, just wondered what your plans are now? Different Scenarios for AT? A well deserved Holiday? heh.

You know, with some graphics refinement this game could be more attractive.

I don't care how the game looks as long as it plays well....besides, the counters bring back memories of Panzer Blitz and Panzer Leader

Releasing before the end of October is still viable, but we're in crunch on so many titles right now it's always tough to tell which will end up done first.
