Hi all!

We will start shipping SEIV today and hope to have all backorders shipped by close of business November 22.

Please have mercy on the customer service department and don't e-mail us asking if your game has shipped. You will receive an e-mail once your game ships so there is no need to ask. I have instructed customer service to ignore these e-mails.

Thanks for your patience,

Any idea when the first patch will be available for download ? I heard it would be this week but I was wondering when this week ?

There are no OSHA rules for a break. Only for ergonomics, don't you know? So long as they are comforable, you can work them as much as you can. :}

Richard. If you were a nice guy, you would stop by on your way home and drop off my copy :} I assume since you want his address, the beta testers are going to get their copy???????

Heh don't even have MY copy yet :P

With the sell out we had to send out every available copy to paying folks. Thankfully Tim has some copies on their way to me and then from me to you.

I second that! It's always great to see that there's an active market for detailed, turn-based games and to see an independent developer and independent publisher benefit from it. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

FYI - I made Richard stay up all night and work on getting the patch out...

It's up! Have fun and Happy Turkey Day!
