Patrick, what is the current status of the game development and do you have any plans for future titles or patches yet?

Thank you for an awesome game series!

It is a tough time for game development. Right now I, personally, have been doing a lot of writing (in between my full-time Army job and working on my PhD.).

I think the future of the company lies on other platforms. We are very interested in the growing battle between Android devices and iPad. We are also still exploring XNA as a cross-platform development system for PC and XBOX 360. We are waiting for that to mature, though.

Changing platforms is very expensive, as you have to transfer your codebase. We are waiting to make that plunge until (a) the wargame market improves and (b) one platform pulls ahead with a decisive lead.

I hope this does not mean that we pc users will be abanded?

By the way - in task force defence 4 of BCT, the FIST vehicle will not emplace? I have tried different holes - no problems with the other vehicles.

We are not going anywhere! We will continue to support all of our titles.

For your FIST-V, you might check to make sure they are not in sprint. That will stop them from emplacing.

I was thinking of further titles for PC?

No - they are not in sprint. Lost the game (not due to FIST

). If any of the readers have won this scenario, could you please post a rough sketch of how you deployed your troops at startup?

Patrick - are there any projects in the workshop for 2014 we can look forward to?

Any news on these problems?
