Newbie questions
 

After just looking at the map and counters, and glancing through the demo rules I realized I have to buy this game. (where's the drool smiley?)

* When will it be coming out?

* How fast can I get it (in Europe)?

* Any kind of supported PBEM or other network play?

* If designing own scenarios, what's the largest scale engagement which can be played with the counters in the game? Reinforced company? More?

*Is there expected to be an Online community designing custom scenarios (with 'events' and the works)

* How well does the 'impulse' system work in larger battles where there may be several separate firefights going on at the same time?

*Are firing units automatically spotted? Are firing snipers automatically spotted?

* Are helos modelled?

***Can I become a beta tester http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Hi Pal,

* When will it be coming out?
Late Novemebr/December

*How fast can I get it (in Europe)?
Uh, I dunno. Check at www.gamersfront.com

* Any kind of supported PBEM or other network play?
Yes, check out http://www.vasl.org/vassal/ to see how you can play the demo Online. We do it most every night!

*If designing own scenarios, what's the largest scale engagement which can be played with the counters in the game? Reinforced company? More?

Well, you could do more, but reinforced Co is about right.

*Is there expected to be an Online community designing custom scenarios (with 'events' and the works)
I sure hope so. :-)

* How well does the 'impulse' system work in larger battles where there may be several separate firefights going on at the same time?
It is so cool. We love the tension that it creates.

Yes to all three of the Last questions. Mail me offline.

Best,
