Hi,

First, I want to say thanks to Harry and Matrix for going the distance on this and turning EiA into a PC game. It has always been one of my favorite games (second only to WiF).

Unfortunately, it has also been my greatest love/hate game relationship regarding rules interpretations. So many of us hardcore EiA gamers have created house rules to cover what the old AH Faq didn't mention, that it would be nice to use this game as the "definitive" way EiA should be played. Because of this, I was wondering if Matrix was planning on starting a new thread of rules discussion/interpretation so everyone knows what to expect when the game goes gold. I have so many questions lol....

If I might make a small suggestion, if Matrix and ADG are planning on including AI in a single player version of this game, they also bundle a seperate (no simultaneous movement) non-AI multi-player client/server version as well on the CD. If there is anything the EiA die hard community needs, it's a more efficient multiplayer way to play this game via the net. Current EiA PBEM games take forever (literally years- almost "real time" lol) to cover the 1805-1815 scenario , and a client to help these types of games run faster would be a real godsend. It would be a great way for Matrix/ADG to increase market share, as well as providing us EiA'ers a much better way to play each other over vast distances.

Thanks for your time
:)
