Current bugs that make the game unplayable

The game has to be saved regularly because of game freezes. When I save the game, it adds about another 1500 points in resource points to the player's total. So the player can afford almost unlimited airstrikes to destroy almost all German targets. A patch to fix these two key issues is vital to make the game playable.[;)]

About the patch, what do you consider 'very soon'? You said the patch was ready back in mid December. There is still no patch!

zakblood, you are the eternal optimist. These developers are full of baloney as far as i'm concerned. They have shown no interest in fixing major showstopping bugs, nor do they respond to the forums in any timely manner.
I have given up, and this company is on my "do not buy" list. Unfortunate, but this game has been unplayable for a long time with no fix.

Yep I agree with JG It's another title poorly tested and of no quality,,,No matter what the cheap price a gamer should expect a workable product.I've been involved with computers since the early 80's before windows and have seen too much untested low quality titles but coming from Matrix which is my staple for wargaming which is my main gaming compan y I'm very disappointed Guess it's time to go back to paper maps

Yep, I have said this same thing on the Slitherine forum. Slitherine and Matrix Games have always been rock solid with their games. I can always count on good quality and good support. They should not release anything more from this company, it is going to tarnish their image. Now, I have to look twice before buying a title from my favorite wargame companies.

eternal optimist i may be, but i think it's worth the wait and will give them time to fix it, as i bought it, enjoy it, and also think for the price, it's a good little game and i'm more than happy with it, will be better once fixed,but nothing is ever easy so i can wait, as i'm sure it will be done and be all right in the end, just takes time when a smaller group or single person on it maybe, either way rome wasn't built in a day, and most games get more than one patch now days and they almost never come out right away, we have waited a while so for me a bit longer will be fine also...

Hi guys
sorry there was an internal misunderstanding. The dev team provided a patch for this just before the Christmas break. We recently found out it had slipped through the system and not been released. We have completed it and are preparing it for release ASAP.
This is not the dev teams fault, but ours. We had a hectic run up to Christmas and this came in as everyone was leaving for holidays and didn't get picked up when we returned. This is a good team and this is an unfortunately mistake which we're correcting.
I've also asked them to check out the bugs in the patched version to make sure we get an update out for those issues as soon as we can.
Thanks for your patience and sorry for the mix up.
