Hi guys, I was wondering how many single player scenarios are there in "Tin Soldier" and or are these playable outside of the campaign in single player mode?

How many scenarios are in the campaign also? And in the campaign game do I always have to play Alexander?

If there are single player scenarios can I play other than Alexander?

How many "different unit types would you say are going to be in the game?

And your expected release date is late 2004 right? So around Christmas maybe or after Thanksgiving? (oh I'm American heh, I Know not everyone celebrates Christmas or Thanks giving, by the way do you guys have a 4th of July?


Thanks in advance

Revinhood,

Currently, there are 6 scenarios that you follow as "single player." These are the scenarios that you follow on the campaign. Time permitting, we may add in some additional "skirmishes" for single player, but we want to get the core game solid and balanced before adding anything new.

Yes, during the campaign you will always play Alexander. We are currently implementing multiplayer capabilities into the game which will allow players to replay the scenario maps on either side. So, it is likely that we can allow the player to play against Alexander for "battles" -- i.e., not the campaign.

Each army has about 6 to 7 different types of units (i.e., heavy infantry, light infantry, etc.) However, each unit also has unique weapon types, morale, training, commanders, etc. So, really, each unit is pretty much unique.

Unfortunately, we really can't discuss release dates. However, our wish is to release in the fall if possible.

Our company is based in Dallas, Texas. So, yes, we have Thanksgiving, July 4th, etc.! [8D]
