Most Recent Official Update is 1.08.04

[Joel Billings]

Just wanted to make clear that the most recent official update of War in the East is the 1.08.04 update that was released last July concurrently with the release of the game on Steam (mentioned in the Steam release thread). There is a more recent public beta version 1.08.07 with it's own thread.

Joel,

just checking on next steps after war in the west/Torch add on? Are you guys looking to include/develop an early version of the war (i.e. invasion of Poland/France/Balkans, etc....?

Seems with what you have developed between War in the East/War in the West you have all the makings of this part of the war.

Can you comment at all?

These are awesome games - so it comes from a true fan in your guys work.

Thanks, Len

We are currently working on WitE2, which uses the War in the West map (expanded to cover to east of the Urals). This game will use all the new features in WitW (new logistics, new air system, etc.). It will have many other elements that are different from WitE1, although the fundamental ground game will be similar to WitW. We are building the database to include everything that was in WitW and WitE. This will give us the potential of creating a future game that would cover all of Europe from 1943-45. Using the map to create other scenarios from earlier in the war would also be possible (I expect modders will eventually be able to do this if they want to, although adding new armies is a lot of work). It is even possible that eventually a 41-45 WiE would be doable, but that would be a lot of work. Going back to 1940 or 1939 as the start of a full WiE is probably more than we'll ever do, although one should never say never. We are doing this while also working on a new tactical game inspired by Gary's old Steel Panthers series, something we are working on jointly with the Matrix development group. We hope that one or both of these games will come out in 2017, although this part of the post will self-destruct within 30 days and I will deny ever saying it. [:)]

Will smoke come out from my computer when it is self-destructed?
