Вот детали - любители - предвкушайте и трепещите:)

Combat Mission - Barbarossa to Berlin is progressing VERY nicely. We are about 95% done with game feature implementations, which includes the optional Rarity system, Vehicle Morale, to revamp of movement orders/behaviors, implementation of Covered Arcs (fire lanes), significant changes to artillery modeling, improved PBEM features (such as a display of options chosen), new terrain types, new weather conditions, trenches and other new fortifications, new squad AT behavior, the ability to "Randomize" practically all Quick Battle settings, optional pre-game force reduction levels (to simulate depleted units prior to battle), optional ammo reduction levels, new interface, separation of the theater into "Regions" (so you don't have Italians fighting in Finish terrain, etc), and probably a couple dozen things I can't think of off the top of my head Some tweaking still needed here and there, but basically things are done and have been hammered by testers quite a bit.

Historical data is also coming along really well. All the German, Soviet, and Romanian TO&E is in the game. Boy, what a headache that was Italian TO&E is about 50% in, Finnish is done on paper but not in yet. We are still assembling materials to construct the full Hungarian TO&E. Should get a pile of books in the next week or two to help the latter.

Almost all technical data for vehicles, guns, small arms, etc. have been coded up.

All of the 3D vehicle models have been created, but few are in the game yet. Let me tell you, that is going to be a fun month of my time

Artwork is also coming along VERY well. Almost totally done with completely new terrain textures for the various different types of weather conditions. Vehicle and uniform artwork has only been scratched, but we have all the materials necessary to make the textures.

Er... uhm... and lots of other stuff. Not trying to tell you EVERYTHING about where we are at, just enough so you can get a sense of how far we have come.

Now, for the obvious question...

WHEN WILL THE GAME BE RELEASE?!?!?

We are currently projecting end of 1st Quarter 2002. This is later than we had expected, but the extended support of Combat Mission - Beyond Overlord greatly delayed the start of CMBB. We do not regret the time spent making CMBO that much better, but it did not come without a consequences.

As with CMBO, we will not release CMBB until it is ready, which is why we do not have a firm ship date. This can be frustrating for some, but if every software developer behaved this way there would be a LOT more great games to choose from out there. Software development, especially game development, is an art and not a science.

As for the demo... we are not planning on releasing a demo until we are VERY near to release. We lost almost 1.5 months of CMBO development time when we released the Beta Demo because of all the support which was necessary for the obviously not finished game. This means that if we release the demo sooner the final product will definitely be delayed. On the whole, this is not desirable for anybody.

What comes next? Well, we are going to release a batch of screenshots showing off the new terrain graphics sometime this month. We are sure you will be impressed

Well, that is about all for now! Please understand that you guys are just going to have to take this information "as is". The number of questions you guys could come up with based on this one post could keep one of us posting answers for the next two weeks All good things will be known in time, all good things will come to those who wait We'll post details on some of the new features in the weeks and months to come, but for now we need to get our noses back to the grindstone!

Thanks for all your support now and in the future,
