From the 'Lest We Forget' Debt...

There will be some exciting news regarding CC in the future, probably early next year.

Regards, Erik Rutins Director of Product Development and Business Relations

It would be quite welcome to get "some exciting news" firsthand early this year/month/week/day.

Hopefully those beta patches werent all of that.

This was the announcement by Slitherine and Matrix Games about aquiring the rights to the Close Combat brand from Destineer Studios, and the planned release of the next Close Combat title later this year, Panthers in the Fog.

Good news.

Now if only I could access the Slitherine forums to pester the devs with questions, quibbles, comments and suggestions [:(]

[Pvt_Grunt]

Please do, we have the utmost confidence in your pestering ability. In a positive way, of course... or as "The Dictator" would say - Aladeen!

hmmm...Dictator...yes, that has a solid ring of unassailable authority to it!



Due to circumstances apparently beyond Slitherine's control, new registrations there have been pending since last week [&:]

s'ok, [&o] Das Blut will again prolly be the army of one who codes PitF.

So, what happened here? xe5 got mad for not being invited to code Close Combat? I think he could do good.

[SteveMcClaire]

Kanov,

This thread is from two years ago, so I'm not sure.

I think this was about the announcement of the Slitherine / Matrix merger. You'd have to talk to Xe5 if you want to know the rest, but it looks like he and Pvt Grunt were just being funny.

Yeah probably just fooling around. I must have missed something in that sentence.

Was looking for some info on CC and came across several interesting posts by xe5 and then this bizarre last post.

Sorry for bringing an old topic, I just was curious.

I'm certain Steve gets the "Das Blut" reference, mine was just a tip of the hat to a funny movie I'd seen. No resemblance at all to a certain programmer with far to much on his plate!
