Ok, I know this question might be quite a mistake, but what's the current projected release date. I know it would of course be subject to change and that zillions of factors affect it so that it may not be terribly accurate, but I'm honestly curious about the progress of the game. Only reason I ask this possibly aggrivating question is because the status page (one of the links from the main page) had this game targeted for Winter 99. Please take your time and produce quality instead of expediance, but I'm just curious...I only found the game recently and already await it anxiously. Thanks for your time Brian P. Cleary P.S. - What are the developer's handles, if they post?

Yeehee...After posting I tried it again and was finally able to beat the damn thing <only took four days> but with a big allied total victory. The tactics posted here helped a lot, and I was able to set up a superior defense that held until my tanks showed, and then with their help <even though it took me 4 save/loads to not get them killed on the first turn> I was able to stem the Hun tide and drive them right off the map. I also realized a major disadvantage of the hellcat over other pure tanks, the crew has to be exposed to fire the 50cal mounted on top. This is a nuisance but obiviously a realism point. Something that annoys me though is that embarked soldiers cannot use this weapon, which is fairly unrealistic I think...just a thought. Thanks for all your help everyone...now I start playing as the Germans Brian P. Cleary P.S. -I did d/l the soundpack's <all five> and they're great...didn't do the texture pack yet but I'll get to it..nice work.

How in hell are you supposed to beat last defense? The best I can do after hours of playing is to fight (as the allies) to an Axis minor victory...I don't know if the mission is unbalanced intentionally, but I keep really getting crushed...any suggestions, tactics, troop formations, prayers I should try? Still a great game...I'm d/ling the sound pack from CoolJ (I think that's his name) seems interesting...I like a game with open enough design that user created stuff can be intergrated so easily

Thanks a lot to everyone who's replyed....I really love the game...it's important to me to have things to do, because I'm currently hospitalized and have been for the past two months...so, things to do are quite important for me Thanks for the great demo, and if you guys can release anything more or could maybe get they game out the door, one sick guy in New York would appreciate it Thanks again Brian P. Cleary

Hey, that actually worked....thanks a bunch man...as long as I can just get past that in both missions, it shouldn't be a problem again. Weird bug...I love beta testing Brian P. Cleary

Sounds like a plan to me, I'll give it a go...thanks Brian P. Cleary

Hmm...got that...oh well...I was doing good too...my GI's were about to flatten reisberg, and they were holding pretty solid in last defense. Oh well. Thanks for the help, hope the full <and working version> comes out soon Brian P. Cleary P.S. Developers, if you're listening and have any input, it would be appreciated

woops, I put something in brackets in the last message, didn't realize HTML was on

It happens on last defense and...err...Riesberg <I think that's the other name, or something similar> Should I try to redownload the demo? Btw, what version should I have of the demo, I'm starting to think I've got an out of date version. Thanks for the hasty reply Brian P. Cleary

Ok, to start off with...I like it. It's damn good, actually. I does everything I hoped the close combat series would do and does it with grace and style. I'm running on my gateway laptop with the AGP Rage Mobility-m, so i don't get to quite take advantage of the graphics to their full extent, but the game is still great fun. Now my problem...I can't get past the 9th turn. I don't mean this as a problem of skill, as in I get creamed before turn 8, but ever time I get to the ninth turn, the thing hangs after the "action" phase. Anyone got any ideas? Any patches I could get or some such? Thanks Brian P. Cleary
