Rik. Can we have a definite answer?

[Gunhawk]

Rik

You have assured us that we are going to see this game released to the public *this* year. Meaning 2013. So, will you provide us with a definite month in the year of 2013 in which the game, "Lock ‘n Load: Heroes of Stalingrad", for the PC, will be released to the public? Will you provide us with this date within the next two weeks?

Who the heck is Rik?!?

Who the heck is Rik?!?

Ummm...wait a minute. Possible answers:

1. The "E" on my keyboard is broken.

2. I was drunk when I posted.

3. Erik and I go back a long way, and I call him Rik for short.

Actual answer: Rik Falch, the controversial gentleman that is (supposedly) going to publish the new version of Avalon Hill's long OOP wargame "Up Front", was on my mind. Those who have been following that saga will understand why my brain temporarily shorted out.

Anyway, that's two mistakes in two post for me. One more mistake and I'll change my medication. (-:

[k9mike]

I GO WITH #2!!! [:D]
Plus love the Rik comment....So true...
Hey, we still need to get a UP FRONT on Vassal going one of these days...

[Josh]

Geesh...before Christmas!
Maybe Christmas 2014 [:'(]

Have you been following what's going on with the new "Up Front"? I hope they try to make the armor rules a little more user friendly. Every time I play the game I have to read them all over again. I really wouldn't mind if they took out some of the unnecessary chrome.

[Gunhawk]

Well, doesn't look like we'll get answer. Anybody surprised?

[bosbes]

Have been sleeping the last couple of years[>:] Still no game?[:D]

[Gunhawk]

Nope. No game. When asked if we'd see the game published by Christmas Erik answered "yep", but we can't even get anyone to give us a target *month*, and that's not very encouraging.

[k9mike]

Ed,
I have been following the "New" Up Front...If anything...they have made it abit MORE complicated...sadly they are changing the relative range around, they are adding more terrain stuff, men, equipment...yada yada yada...more complex...lol. Wish they would have just left it alone and just remanufactured the damn game...
Oh well...with all the legal shit that has been going on...It probably wont get published anyway.
I think looking up stuff here an there is normal...just don't play enough, and you get into those situations where you just have to look at rules to get right/clarify something.
I like some of the more normal scenarios...or, some homemade ones...have been playing a lot of Campaign stuff with friend over Vassal...
As far as THIS game...who knows...they just don't keep people informed good enough. Not really how they should run things...But, that's just the way it is....

[bosbes]

Some day this game will see the light of day...[8D]

Have you heard something? So far Erik has said "yep" to being released by Christmas. I'm just trying to get him to commit to a month.

Einstein said that "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and hoping for a different result." I suppose that the statement could apply to us asking the same question over and over again and expecting a different answer. I guess we're just a crazy group. LOL

This game is at the top of my must-have list, so I was a little disappointed it didn't make the release date list even though three of the games listed are also must-haves.

I'm not sure what exactly draws me to this game so much, but I think it's the SL style graphics, and it's scale is one I'm very interested in playing.

Unfortunately, I believe that's what drew us *all* in.

This is what got me...
