Matrix is HQ'ed in Texas IIRC, so I look for it to be out between Noon-5PM CST personally.

It's strange, I only got this game a few days ago, and only by accident as I knew nothing about it whatsoever. then a freind of mine out of the blue gives me his copy because he didn't like it. Now here I am ready to purchase the expansion to a game I didn't know existed 4 days ago.

It's a pretty awesome game and when we can start making maps, scenarios and proper mods for it... Wow... It's going to be on a whole different level.

It's strange somehow I bought the game a few days ago started about four different games to get a grip on tactics then I read about the forthcoming expansion and stopped playing. Now I won't continue playing not until I have the new tech tree and all the UI improvements and carriers and fighters and... and... and...
 
So right now I'm missing the right words for my anticipation for the upcoming release of the expansion!!!

Here's another waiting soul! I must confess I have not played a lot of DW yet cause I was missing features this expansion pack is going to add!
I am quite excited to see what the new DW will do for me! [&o]

I know exactly how you feel. To start a new game of the "original" would seem like a waste of time at the moment.
I'd be thinking "but I wouldn't do this in the exansion" or...""I'd add these once I get the expansion"

Argghh.

Can't wait (but I'll have to)
