Just want to make certain that this is indeed the case. The lengthy wait has me forgetting already Image

Actually, I was asking if a newer patch of the present Matrix WiR version was in the works Image Sorry for the misinformation.

Yes, they should be close to releasing it. I think. RickyB?

The game itself is real close, I believe, with just a couple of tough and/or minor bugs left to find, based on our list. The other scenarios are being completed now, and assuming some playtesting of them, I would guess early January, but I haven't heard a target date yet. Sorry we don't have anything more definitive yet.

Two of us are playing a 1941 campaign game head-to-head with the latest version and are into early 1942. The play balance is looking fairly good, except a little tough for the Axis in reaching Moscow and Leningrad with a chance to seize them, but a recent tweak will probably help that. We may need to boost the initial Axis rail conversion for the first turn or two also, as the changes to the front line and rails in the south hurt the Axis rail conversion pretty badly.
