As previously reported by Ken and Alan - Matrix Games are now taking advance orders for Korsun Pocket! So head on over to the MatrixGames Store and secure your copy now!
In other news:
Chris is busy working away at converting some of the TAO2 scenarios for TAO3 play, and is becoming somewhat of an expert in the use of the Scenario Editor! Im sure he is going to be a much sought after resource when people start tinkering with it. Chris has also been doing some testing on the revised Scenario Editor - which from what I understand will be more 'point and click' - that will be part of the "Battles in Normandy" (BIN) series that SSG are slaving away on.
Infact I just had a chat with Roger and he advises that things are progressing nicely with BIN and it may even be a Christmas pressie for us all this year! So if you planned on holding off buying KP until Xmas, by telling your loved ones to advise Santa to bring it for you on the 25th - you had better rethink that! How anyone could hold off getting KP until Dec is another thing anyway..
So there you have it.. some firm news about the next release (well as firm as we can get).. more on BIN over the next few weeks though..
I have been experiancing some problems logging in on the Local WAR discussion forums - if anyone else has had problems please leave us a comment here. I am trying to work out what the problems are though, and should have it sorted in the next week or so (just need to find the time).
In terms of the PBEM Ladder, it looks like we will probably be hosting the ladder here on this site! So over the next few weeks or so I will be looking for some good ladder scripts.. if anyone knows of any .. gimme a yell. If anyone wants to be more involved in this sort of thing also please give either Chris or myself a yell.
Im sure there was more to report.. but that will do for now.. Just go and buy the damn game ok :)
Posted by Robjess at July 27, 2003 11:18 AMWargamer.com is reporting that Korsun has shipped to Retailers already. I would think that direct orders to Matrix will have gone out already also , I have not gotten an email yet however. If anyone wants to order outside of Matrix, EBGAMES.com has it listed as shipping to buyers today, and that date has not changed so it seems like today or tomorrow for shipments to begin.
Good News and about time. Titans of steel has shipped also, along with the update to IL2 according to the wargamer site.
Just got an email from matrix that my Korsun has shipped!!. I have overnight delivery so tomorrow night I will be in gaming heaven. Looking forward to playing against you guys. Thanks again for making the wait alittle more bearable. Now when is BIN shipping, how much longer, just kidding :)
Posted by: Ken on July 31, 2003 11:24 AMomg! Thats sooner then I expected! Woo hoo!! Great news..
Posted by: robjess on July 31, 2003 05:12 PMAhhhhh still two weeks to go before I get my hands on the Euro version! You lucky bastards! :-)
Posted by: U2 on July 31, 2003 06:57 PMARhh U2 :( Did I tell you how good this game is? [runs off and hides]..
Posted by: robjess on July 31, 2003 07:02 PMAh how evil! LOL I just knew someone would have the good sense of humor and write something like that :-)
Posted by: U2 on July 31, 2003 09:11 PMYeah there is no way I was going to let that pass up :) A sense of humour is something I do have.. I will need it after all of you bastards have whooped my arse at this game.. the fact that I have had practise for the last 8 month ahead of most other people isnt going to account for much I dont think ;)
Actually.. to tell you the truth I still havent had a completed, proper game of the Korsun Pocket scenarios yet.
Have you Chris?
Posted by: robjess on July 31, 2003 09:21 PMNo, not really...I am looking forward to some interesting battles via email with the KP scens..
