July 24, 1944 - U.S. Marines invade Tinian.
July 27, 1944 - American troops complete the liberation of Guam.

July 16th 1945: Manhattan Project has it's first test; a Plutonium device at the Trinity site.
July 18th 1944: Tojo resigns office due to numerous "setbacks" in the war.
Huh...18th is an interesting day in general: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_18

Does that mean tht the slow boat from China arrived? Do we make it past customs, or does someone need to go down to the level 10 port at SF and bribe someone? [:D]

Good news! IIRC this must mean we are getting close to the date that Matrix will make a full copy of the manual available in advance to registered WITP owners. That should keep us busy for a while until release.

I know it's not the topic, but Bob you've seen better days. That website is really somewhat biased and crappy in the way dates were chosen...ORIGINAL: m10bob

Seeing that you're in Scotland, I take this to mean that you've put aside your Brazil shirt in favor of the Australia one, right? [;)]ORIGINAL: Andy Mac

RE: Do it yourself date calculator!
And now for something completely different. I am hoping for Aug. 6. That will be my Birthday, and I might we able to sweet talk the Finance Department into approving the purchase request for AE. Besides that, I'll be 60 and deserve something for maintaining a sole side down, sober, and hopefully productive six decades.

RE: Do it yourself date calculator!
p.s. not Brazil I still remember the infamous 1982 David Narey toepoke that put us 1-0 up against brazil....it really annoyed them I cannot recall the final score but it wasnt pretty.
RE: Do it yourself date calculator!
It needs to be July 24th, its my birthday, I will be 50 and since that's 1/2 a century it would be a great day for a release. Besides RevRick, not trying to minimize your Bday, but it is over a week longer we would have to wait [;)]
