If I was chosen as a beta tester, I would be honored and take the task seriously.

I have no standing at Matrix but my suggestions for beta testers are:
* Get up a history of good thoughtful posts showing that you understand the board game. Patrice has an excellent body of WIF research on other web sites which should help him on the day.
* Show an understanding of the issues involved in creating a computer game. Developers aren't perfect but I don't think they are impressed by people who demand the impossible (not pointing fingers here so don't get paranoid). Any background in computer development might help.
* Contribute research. One idea is to look at the ways that other strategic games have worked out their sequence of play and analyse whether it would work for CWiF. Post your results in the Forum.
* Suck up to Maurice. I believe he will pick the beta team
* Wait till FPG ships. Nothing happening till then.
Those are my humble suggestions. No guarantee they will work.

Just curious, since cWiF is dependent on FPG shipping, does anyone know when that will be?

I would like to continue my playtesting for Cwif. I was a chief play tester for Wif FE and have played through Cwif many times. If there are any thoughts or suggestions please feel free to let me know.

Matrix has repeatedly advised that they will release FPG (and MWiF and all other games) when it is ready and not before.
They have also repeatedly advised that they will not commit to a release schedule until they are sure they can fulfil it.
I support both of those initiatives.
They also promise that any betatester who discusses release schedules will be hung, drawn, quartered and struck off the beta-testing list so I feel your pain at not knowing but I can't comment further without forfeiting my own shot at MWiF beta-testing. You need to get a response from the official Matrix types. Maybe post the question in the FPG Forum... sometime within the two weeks... before the question becomes irrelevent [;)]
Or perhaps I can quote from what Eric Rutins (Matrix Administrator) said in the FPG Forum in the "Progress" thread..
