RE: WHEN???
Hither and anon?[8D]ORIGINAL: Anraz

Seriously, I'd rather have it done and done right then the typical and reprehensible practice of many game publishers of shoving any unfinished pos with glitzy cover art and a handful of lies on the back of the box out the door with the intension of picking the pocket of the gameing community.
I must admit that I have suffered from this policy of consumer theft so often, that I (much to my present regret and shame) accused this company and these designers of the same thing when this games precurssor came out (Erik, Doomtrader, Anraz, I dont think that I ever publicly apologised to ya'll for that. You have proved me wrong, and wrong, and wrong again. I am sorry.)
As a beta tester for this game, and as a grognard of thirty five years experience, I can tell you that as much as the designers want to get you this game, and as much as we want to play it, they're going to be sure that it will do what it is designed to do, and it will do it right the first time if they have to hairlip the UN to do it (as we say here in Texas!)[:-]
So take a deep breath and stay icy -- there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

RE: WHEN???
Psst... Mike, be careful about saying to much, particularly if you are under NDA (just some friendly advice).
I'm actually REALLY tempted to go ahead and pick up the old version, given the option to upgrade for FREE (!?!?!, I'm still reeling from Matrix's generosity) when the new one comes along. The old version looks quite good and engaging, and it would give me a taste of what to expect in the future.
But I still am leery... seriously... If I buy the first game, even now... I can get ToW for freeeeee?

RE: WHEN???
Awwww.... no mention of that on the press release here at Matrix! I would love to get that cleared up, as it makes a huge difference (and since they are still selling RtV here, I would hardly say it is "no longer supported.")
Any official word?

RE: WHEN???
Oddly enough, this was never really answered.
However, Gamersgate is listing WWII: ToW as "coming soon" on July 16!? Does that mean we might see this tomorrow?

RE: WHEN???
Then it is also exactly 40 years since I played my first game of chess; an even greater date in history. [:D]

I saw that same ad last night. I couldn't find the download then but its there now!
Maybe the ad traveled through time?
Thank You Matrix and all the devs and beta testers!
And my wife thanks you for ruining her weekend!

RE: WHEN???
GG has it... but I rather buy it from Matrix
RE: WHEN???
Oddly enough, it is cheaper from GG - that doesn't seem like a very solid marketing plan for Matrix Games.

That's very odd, should be the same price. I'll find out if that's our issue or theirs.
