I realized the other weekend, that we must be a matter of weeks (well, we hope!) until that fateful day we log on and see on the homepage

"Strategic Command 2 Demo is now available for download".

Sigh.... it's like Christmas... and hopefully it won't be December! ;)

My guess is one more year...
This is an unusual upset.

Often, waltero has a finger

Firmly aligned

Upon the pulse of Kronos,

That storied... Titan of Time.

Here, alas, he is so far off kilter :eek:

I suspect he's been mesmerized

By Dionysus - prowling now

One night... in 'is panther skin.

fischkopf is a little closer

To the truth of it. :cool:

Some interesting testing going on;

Things are falling into place.

The Center is really going to... hold.

Time is synchronized - as old, in Space.

Question from EF - Is there any progress to report with the Naval AI? Any feedback on battles vs the Naval AI?

Answer from HC - Posted April 01, 2005 01:45 PM -Still a little early to say Edwin, but on the plus side this should be happening soon

From what I read into this HC is working on the AI, though I could be wrong.

I said previously in the thread "a matter of weeks"...., but I am honestly plugging for my wife to buy it for me when it's released for the Christmas season!

1st quarter year 200X (X can be any number bigger then 5) ;)

That leaves early summer as the next available window...

I always suspected you beeing a looney.

Well,

I did NOT say that SC-2 Blitzkrieg!

Would arrive at summer solstice,

Nix, nix.

Merely,

That waltero's recent estimate

Of ONE year was WAY incorrect. ;)

_____________________________

Retributar,

If that sort of PIC is something you like,

Well,

I'd recommend taking a good glance

At the British painter,

Francis Bacon.

Below is one of his works, entitled:

"Head Surrounded by Sides of Beef."

bacon.jpg

His style is considered... "expressionist."

He was born in Dublin (1909-1992)

And moved to London in 1925.

Self-taught, he was "existentialist"

In the sense that he was immediately

Struck, if not sorely stricken

By the carnal events of WW-2,

And so,

And naturally enough,

His paintings "mimed"... his mind.

If all around you is ill aflame and claimed

To be... "sane,"

Then,

Being a sort of... indignant "lunatic"

Might not be such terrible "adjustment"

To - an encrazed landscape, eh? :cool:

That's also my excuse for insanity, thank you.
LOL, ah fischkopf,

Never no need for any "excuse." ;)

When the strangeness comes upon you,

Unbidden, or innocent sought,

When that certain... je ne sais quoi,

Becauses thoughts as though - untaught,

When ever!

Never-sane Big Brother

Begins to... deign to accuse,

Simply grin in gladdened glee

And say a thing is old, yet, ever new:

"Hey thanks! Mad Dude,

I do appreciate it,

I really truly do!" smile.gif

As originally posted by Fubarno:

Poetry is nice but some new screen shots with some AAR's from playtesters would get some Pavlovian dog type salivation going. tongue.gif

LOL, ah, yep, yer right, just having some fun

Over here, Boss... since I already cut

The dreaded metal-heads off

The parking meters. :rolleyes:

But... concrete things are better than

That there "gauzy-gossamer" stuff, eh?

So... I can venture this much

(... and Hubert has the final say

on this, as with everything else, so, he may

well advise... otherwise ;) )

Screenshots and AAR's

At least, by... summer solstice

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. smile.gif

Besides, The Man in the aviator shades

Sittin' up 'er on 'is high horse,

Ain't much taken with enny a' that

Pretty poetry non-sense - he wants

That there tall cotton - chopped up

Immensely small!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

[... rambo jr prob'ly knows who/what

I am a'talkin' about ;) ]

It is spring time up north! Who has time for games? It would not bother me if SC2 came out at Christmas time.

My guess is that it will take at least that long to play test SC2

So no worries!!!

Let them play test this game for as long as it takes, Must get it right the first time.

I think something should be done with the name SC2 sounds so, well lame is the word. Rid the 2!

Maybe Strategic Commanders.

OR just Strategic Command Blitzkrieg

Just drop the 2! WORD!!!

After playing GGWaW for a bit, I must confess I am more ready than ever for this game. On the other hand after having bought HOI1, I am thankful for Hubert not releasing this too early and asking us to buy a woefully incomplete product.

BTW, the "recent news" section of the web page still includes an inaccurate date in the april 2004 entry. It would probably be advisable to remove the any date from there to prevent potential confusion.
