Is this version that is being touted as an official product release or not and is it technically supported by Matrix Employees?

Since nobody is replying from Matrix, I'll give it a shot [:)]
Version 1.03 seems to be the OFFICIAL release. For right now it is being supported by Matrix. Version 1.04 is still a beta release and is only available to "registered members". It will probably go "official" some time next week and be available to everyone. Once 1.04 goes "official", there will be no more support for ANY prior release. Version 1.02 and it's variants are already unsupported, and the only place you'll find a download of 1.02 is on a website other than Matrix. Strangely, 1.02b is still available from this location. But it's just an OOB fix for 1.02:
http://www.theblitz.org/member_sites/pe ... 070806.zip I think because Jason is hosting it. Just guessing there though.
Personally, I am using 1.02b. I'm not a big fan of anti-tank artillery. [:D]

Glad to help. It seems there are at least of a few of us that aren't ga-ga over the new patches. We need to form a 1.02b team and organize. Maybe if Matrix realizes just how many there are, they might actually do something about fixing things. [;)]

why not start a 1.02b thread with a petition...registered users only to sign..then they can do the numbers on possible revenue loss that may incur by this issue being overlooked....they could do feasibly 2 patches....2 products Gamers Edition with open mods etc...I would by that...would not have to worry about cross over games because of the update numbers.....you know as well as I if 1.03 tried to play a 1.02b it would not work....problem solved...they could even market that and you never know it could be more popular then the JTCS 1.04 c (Crap) edition

LOL...it's sure tempting. But I've been poking a stick in Jason's eye pretty often lately. He's been pretty patient, but I don't want to antagonize him too much. I was thinking about starting up a poll about "which version are you using". The problem is it wouldn't be anonymous and a lot of guys don't want to make Jason feel bad. So I don't think the vote would be honest. I think a lot of 1.02b users are too embarassed to admit it. They praise the new patch, but go back and play with 1.02b. Plus the PBEM and Single scenario people are obviously more outspoken, because they got their way with the patches.

how true.....remember the archaic way the raft and boats for talonsoft version was...all you had to do was up the load capacity of the truck and carry eq...encrytp and blam there was the hauler....no special engineer unit needed...move the truck to same hex as the boat load and move....same with armor and such...but again this would be for DCG type things with an inf reg...river assault...those do occur in a DCG so you add to the core division level unit as a separte battalion....there you would have it....

There is still plenty of scenarios from the old talonsoft ddays on the net that could be incorporated.....remember the Hot War upgrade free of course....east german vs west german...hypothetical...was fun to play...they even included the chinese in one the last updates to a rising sun project...red china and china national

...it appears that you guys are the official...
CS......custodians...or something like that...yous guys got all the gripes...
...what's with all of the complaining? Is it just because you can?
Offer up something, why don't you?...or just beat it.
This, "self flagulating" subject is getting really old. Hold it over a pot...and you could go on forever...for real.
Thanx andCheers

Bunch of whiners, why don't you just form your own little piss and moan club and get lost, we're tired of it. I've yet to see any of this BS, and I play this alot, plug in 1.02 and shut up.

So, you Barker and your Aunt Lilly? Unless you're playing a team game someone will have to sit out.
