Matrix Games Forums

Nobody has posted on this forum for 10 days!!!! I hope all of the announcements for new Napoleonic games doesn't kill this forum. I am still really looking forward to this game.


BTW: Where are the AAR's?

Need to keep the interest going people!

I'm just waiting for the good word.[;)]

Still waiting here

We are on it donkuchi, now testing a pbem game and Marshall working on it and minor bugs.

Regards.

P.S. For the unbelivers, its looking great!

Gentlemen, please tease us further...

John, no one ever expects this game to be released so no one is bothering with this message board anymore. Maybe that is what Matrix wants, I guess, who knows.

Guys:

We're still here and we're testing the PBEM game. Guys, I'm trying as hard as I can to work as fast as I can and because of this my posts frequency will suffer but if you've been on this forum long enough then you know I've not left and I do read the posts so hang in there a while longer...

Thank you

I'm sure it will be well worth the wait.....some people have a case of the "Christmas Syndrome" that's all.....[:D]

"Christmas Syndrome"

What's that? Does that mean we want the game before Christmas? If so then I have a bad case of the Christmas Syndrome.

I'm still here. I'm just patiently watching and waiting.

Thanks Marshall!!!

Thanks Beta Testers!!!

I was just wondering because this forum is usually so active. With the announcement of all the other games, I don't want this one to die.

I dont mean to be to negative but the reason people arent here any more is probably because it is always the same. Every month its "testing and retesting" and "we are getting there". I have been following this game for over a year now which is relatively new compared to many people and its just that. The same phrases with the occasional medium to large problem that pops up which results in more of the same encouraging words that sound like what I read in April of last year. I am sorry to vent on the board. I do appreciate everyones work, especially you Marshall. Im just getting a little depressed as summer approaches and no game in sight. Good Luck to the crew. Keep plugging away. Thanks for letting me whine like a little girl. [8|]

I think this game is much closer than you realize. They were close to a working product, and then, among the minor bugs being revealed in beta testing they discovered the issue of TMR. This is important, because Britain is too powerful without it. Wouldn't you rather the game be napoleonic wars and not wellingtonian wars? The game needed some revisement beyond just beta bugs, and we will all be glad they took the time to do it right when we see the final product.

I am not so sure on that.

I've just been sitting about occasionally cruising the forums looking for something new and encouraging. More interesting games keep popping up...which I also have to wait for. I haven't done any Napoleonic gaming since I wore out the games from the Battleground series.

Those were fun games for micromanagers with one drawback. Skirmishers! Not that there's anything wrong with skirmishers, mind you. There was just no way to overrun them with infantry, or make them draw back. Just 25 of them sitting in the open could stop a battalion of 700 with 2/3 of it's movement allowance to spare.

It'd have been a great game for WEGO. AS it was, you had to mail 4 times just to finish one turn.

Anyway...I'll return to the waiting room and grab another stale magazine.

In the boardgame, the quality of English forces is offset by their difficulty in leading large forces.

I don't see how you can just "discover" an issue like TMR. If this important concept was not part of the original design then it doesn't bode well for the game as a whole, especially the artificial intelligence.

I do not consider them as having much of a large force to lead in the first place. And as for quality, well it could be worse. But they don't even have a guards unit. Two factors? What's the point, they can not even commit.

Bitch Bitch Bitch.

There all at the "Crown of Glory" forum, where your tend to get usefull info,screenshots and soon AAR's.
