Just curious. Pre-ordered and cannot wait. Need a fun new strategy game such as this.
Honestly excited.
Cross my fingers, hope the 21st is certain!

We're hoping so but struggling with a particularly nasty multiplayer bug right now.

Hows it looking now, bug fixed ?
Just looking forward, I`ve got two week off from the 23rd July, so this should just tie in nicely.

Just noticed that the date on front page is now 28/07/2010, is that correct?

We have had to push the date back. The approval process at the BBC is extremely complex and causing some delays unfortunately.

ok. Do doubt the wait is going to be worth it

So the 28 is 3 days from now.
How is the game coming along?
Will we really get a release this week?

It's very unlikely that we will hit that date. As Iain says, we've had some issues with the approvals process, as well as wanting to add in some last bits of polish.
Please believe we are as anxious to get the game out as anyone, but we want to make sure it's good to go.
Cheers

It looks like early August right now.
We've had to make a lot of changes to satisfy BBC requirements. They do make the game better but they do mean a delay in getting it to you.

Should we worried about "...satisfy BBC requirements..."? I hope that doesn`t translate as extra BBC branding in game?
Any chance of an example of what sort of improvements, particularly as they "...make the game better...", so rules out the branding theory

Nothing to do with branding - to do with making the tutorials more approachable. All good changes in my opinion.

That sounds good, Better tutorials can only be a good thing.

So the 5th is in 2 days.
Is the game going to be released by then or are we up for another delay?
Also, any chance of an earlier release?

We're working on the final relese. Found a few glitches to tidy up but we still hope to be ready in time.

Great.
Have you already planned content patches/expansions?

We're pretty excited about all the theatres which would be cool to create missions and assets for, and that's just thinking about WW2!
Cheers

So the game's forum is now in the Released Games category, and we have a sub-forum for Modding, Scenario Design and Tech Support.
Does this mean the game's out soon?
Or better yet, even today?

by IainMcNeil
Not today... but

Just checked pre order, no link yet
Aaargh, "Not today...but.." Tease
