Shrapnel certainly has my interest on this title. 101st was a terrific game, and I'm really looking forward to the improvements planned for 82nd.

I've already pre-ordered my copy. Any chance of some real news?

Thanks in advance!

Wow! So someone does actually listen eh? LOL, thats actually one of the things I really like about Shrapnel. I thought maybe that email got lost to Sarge but thats all I really wanted was one teaser screen shot. Now I ask, was that really so hard? Interesting choice as well I remember the downed gliders in 101st but not any fighters, but it has been a while since I played it. Now as far as Sarge's article goes I don't know HPS and don't worry Matrix games has not gotten any of my money yet. But I think we forgot to mention Battlefront.com, with Combat Mission being their flag ship product I guess. I'd have to say that I'll take good game play over fancy graphics everyday. As long as the graphics are what I would describe as functional I am happy. In addittion I'm certain the G-Force 3 is a nice video card but unitl my lotto numbers hit I'm not spending $500 on it, there just isn't a game I want to play that badly. I read an article on Combat Mission 2 that is suppose to release this fall and while they are recomending a 16mb 3D card at this point, it will still run on a 8mb card. So while they are making use of some of the 3D technology that has come out over the Last few years they are far from the bleeding edge. Which both I and my very old machine think is a great strategy.

Any news?

I notice that the "Our Games" page at Shrapnel.com now lists a September 2001 release time for 82nd Airborne. Is this just a wish, or is the game on track for that month?

Thanks!

Well, since I don't even see a Beta forum fo r AA, I'd say that the September date is a bit hasty.

On an interesting note I saw a brief mention of AA in a computer magazine. It was only a sentence or two but at least that's something. I think it was either in CGW or Computer Games Strategy Plus.

OK, here's the status of All American:

2D Art: 95 % complete. Need to finish interface work only.

3D Art: 95% complete. Interface and opening movie.

Programming: The hold up right now. We lost our progammer.

Realistically, we have about 6-8 weeks work left. Before beta. 3-4 week beta and then gold.
