will 1.08 be official anytime soon

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

will 1.08 be official anytime soon

Post by tm1 »

hi
First id like to say to all who are working on this patch thank you and I know that it will take some time testing, at the moment we are at
.02 beta and there may even be a .03 beta or more in the works and again means more testing and I don't want it rushed released as I believe it is going to
be possibly the last ever patch for this great game.

Im currently playing with patch 107.15 and its fine for me as I play the AI, call me cautious but im a bit reluctant to down load anything that's not officially endorsed
again I don't expect it anytime this month or the next but if anyone has a rough idea when they think it may be ready id be great full.

Regards TM1

The beta for both this game and WitP AE are both very stable and enhance both games a lot. Give the effort required by Matrix to develop an 'official' package I would not count on any further 'official' releases for this or AE. Especially for a game that is most likely not going to make them any further monies. They are a business after all.

One thing you have to realize, is that a 'beta' is very different at Matrix versus other publishers. So you should take that into consideration as well. Plus have you looked at the Change Log for the beta's? Why would you not want to play with those?

Trust the Beta!

Be the Beta!

This is not really a beta in the conventional sense: it is a "backdoor" release by the developer in order to bypass the slow final QA procedures of the Publisher (note that the QA procedures of the Publisher are fully justified since this game will not ever make any more money for them; release priority goes to those games still selling)

(Also note that it bypasses only the final QA procedures; the "beta" is fully tested and verified to the same extent as the official releases)

There will a further bugfix version which fixes guard unit naming and destroyed unit rebuilding issues. Don't know if this change justifies a .03 version number or just a re-release of .02

Morvael has some further issues on the list for investigation and at some point in the future I want to rebuild airbases to a similar setup like in WitW, using mostly specialist air support squads instead of standard support squads. This change will reduce airbase manpower by a significant amount (10 vs 20 men).
