Okay false alarm. Somebody made a mistake and put in a wrong release date...

Sorry to bother with this - but i´m thrilled with the news: http://www.matrixgames.com/games/game.asp?gid=285

Today we get to engage the digital download and play our favourite game. I haven´t been very active on this forum but i have following the discussions pretty closely.

I´m living in Copenhagen Europe. Do anybody out there know if Matrixgames have any particular time of day where they usually release a game. I can´t wait to get going stomping around Europe with my armies and get to know the game before I engage human opponents

Cheers

WOOOOOOOOOOW

Yes i think in USA are the 5:00 am..... WAKE UP!!!! Ring the Bells [:D][:D]

anyaway... i am sooooooooooo happy [X(]

Good grief, who the heck put a release date in there? Sorry folks, that was not intentional, whoever did that screwed up. EIA is still a week away as a post-Thanksgiving release. [:(]

Just fixed it - looks like someone checked one of the boxes accidentailly that they shouldn't have, which auto-fills the release date field with today's date. Apologies for the confusion, there was no intention to cause any distress. Right now, we're looking at a timeline centered around next Wednesday (28th) for release of EIA.

Ok. Fine with me.

I think I can wait a little while longer.

Cheers

Ok a week is enough:

Thank you!
I'll put the defib back in the corner.
 

Just booked a week off with the stress of it all.......can your in house lawyers tell me whether I have a right to stress related compensation..
Or is that not a good joke to make to an American company? [:(]

"Those responsible have been sacked."

Empire at Arms is a wargame for the PC set in the time of the Napoleonic Wars. Players have their chose of six sides, France, England, Prussia, Austria, Russia, and the Moose. Mind you, Moose bites can be pretty nasty...

"Sorry, those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked."

Last year we were on Sweden. [;)]

Is the 28th a firm date?

Will those who download on the 28th get a PRE-PRINTED rules manual with shipment of the CD?

By the way.

I'm so happy about this release I could spit.

I've been waiting 20 years for this.

Alas- I have grown old,

and can no longer wield a sword llike I used to.

Careful, we are talking about a litigation to America![X(]

It has been so long I can't remember what I have been waiting for.
A silver surfer...

I used to play this game with friends years ago (Boy I'm old[8|] Since I no longer have anyone to play with I've been looking forward to this game coming out. My wife's going to buy it for me for Christmas[:D][8D]

Nothing ever is, but in the scale of such things, yes.

Nope, we're all backed up on printing right now due to a debacle with our printed that took a month to resolve right as the flurry of recent releases began.

We do expect that we'll have EIA physical stock in time for shipments to arrive before Christmas, but it will be a download-only release at first. If you want the box and the printed manual, you should wait until those options are available in the store about 2 weeks after release.
