I think weeks, not months, but would 8 weeks be considered weeks not months? 5 weeks? 20 weeks? If yes, than definitely weeks. [:)]
What we have now is so close to beta that, as I think I've said elsewhere, for many companies and many products this would be considered game play beta.

It is a lot closer than it was a year ago when I started following this. [8|] Unfortunately I'm resigned to not living long enough to see the final product... what with life expectancies only being 30 or so years more for me... [8D] Still I have to respect the ethic this project has been attacked with. There is a gem in the making here. [&o] All I have to say is HURRY UP!!! [:@]

From what I can see - and I know that's lots of behind the scene stuff that I can't - it looks ready for beta for sure. I've done a little testing myself, and have to say that I'm very impressed with the work and the care that's going into this game. Clearly this is a labor of love, and I salute everyone involved for being committed to getting it right, and not caving into the pressure to get it out NOW and make that money!! Way to go guys![&o]

Picture a triangle. At one point write the word Good. At another point write Cheap. At the third point write Fast. You may have any two but not all three. So for example if you want it Fast and Cheap it won't be Good. Etc.

See Command Ops forum about pricing Kten. The old tri-angle concept works really well of quality, price, and speed. Can't have all three

If this is straying off topic I'm sorry but is it possible to find out how long War in Russia took to develop from beginning to end and how long did the beta stage take to go thru in 1992-93?

I don't think anyone can remember back that far. At SSI though, the typical development was 2 months from beta to final. Now that said, there could be many months of testing game play that was near beta before the official beta stage, but basically most things went out within 6-8 weeks of hitting "official" beta.

Just logged on after a busy day to see this silly thread- what boring rubbish...
Not all pomms are the same not even sure that is how you spell it , there are just as many silly names for US people so beware
I am from England - I suggest this childish banter is stopped - or I will send in the LAH to sort everything
Please try and talk about the game that many people are spending many serious unpaid hours to deliver.

LAH arrived long ago. Notice the myriad of BMWs and Mercs that proper whitecollar Englishmen with proper incomes seem to be driving. Must be their wives egging them on....[8D]
