Hey, that brings back memories. I forget what came after Cross of Iron. I haven't been able to find anyone to play the boardgames in so long that I just had to throw them away to make room. If Walker and co. just faithfully copy the original ASL boardgame, I for one will be happy. And no downloads, just the old fashioned hard copy disc that I can clutch in my sweaty little hands. I don't mind downloading a game I'm going to play once or twice but HOS will be a keeper.

They already tried then abandoned it Combat Leader..the game that brought Matrix to my attention. They where also going to follow it up with a Pacific RTS game called Close Assault.

The death of CL was a very sad day..however they where trying to do two hex scales in one game..which I think most likely caused all sorts of problems.

Combat Leader is the one that was on the bottom of the Matrix homepage for years with nothing to see?

I'll be posting some new pics next week. We're editing the final draft of the manual and getting ready for the final pre-release beta test, which we should be recruiting for at some point in the next couple of weeks.

Regards,
