Congratulations to Rob for all his hard work and finally finishing the game. Now go and have a lie down!

I had the privilege of being a beta tester until about 6 months ago when illness ended my participation.

I thought the game was shaping up to be really special even in the earlier versions as Rob was very receptive to suggestions and making it as good as possible. Having looked at the latest screenshots it looks even better now.

Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Excellent news........! Seemed like a loooooooong wait, though I`m sure it was a longer journey for the development guys[:)]

Look forward to placing my order and trying this out real soon.

Looking forward to this one a lot (despite having been pretty oblivious to it until a month or so ago !).

Also looking forward to some PBEM. On the subject of which, I see the game also supports TCP/IP but with game lengths of "4 to 14 hours" is that really viable? I guess so assuming there's a save feature, but even so PBEM seems a much better bet.

As far as I understand it, this means the "virtual" scenario duration is 4 to 14 hours, but actual play time should be shorter. But how long does it take to play some average scenario?
