OK, let me explain something. This WW1 project has been going on for years and nothing has ever been released. Had something been released the dates wouldn't have been trimmed back. The ONLY reason the dates went back to WW1 in the first place was to allow that project to go ahead and from our perspective it just sat in limbo and all we ended up with was a game where the OOB's dropped off at 1930.

I've already talked with Andy about this on a number of occasions. If this project IS serious then appoint a spokesman and come up with a proposal and Andy may create an EXE specifically for it to run from.

LB: Don et al, before you read any further. Ta muchly. The counter meal and beer offer still stands.

After the changes caused by the last upgrade of the DOS version of SPWW2, we literally have sat on our hands. Darius and Troopie have been doing research, and I will presume that Richard Hopkins has been as well. They have completed a couple of OOBs. I have been gleaning what I can for the Russian Civil War, but we have been waiting to see what the Win version looked like before we actually put values in boxes, so to speak.

We discussed continuing developing material, but if we had realised that the dates would be reduced, or even that it was being considered to reduce them, we would have advocated that they be retained.

After some of the stuff which went down on the Yahoo list, I personally thought the last thing that you would have appreciated was someone knocking on the virtual door, saying "Are you done yet. Oh, by the way, we want these bells and whistles, but we have no idea as to what the code work consequences of these requests are".

I am sure that we will have no problem in agreeing to appointing an advocate in regard to changing the dates.

cheers
