With an updated Top 10 Requests list, it's probably worth updating the 'What We're Working On' list as well.

What We're Working On - June 2016

Squishy
1. WWI Middle East - Revamp to replace some of the current codes, plus an expansion to tick off some requests.
2. 1860 Italians - A full range revamp including some extra items.

Phil (Techno)
1. Warband - Just a few more ranges to be done for this, and then all of the Warband ranges are online.
2. Moderns - This will be a large project taking in everything from the end of WWII through to the end of the Cold War.  As you might guess, it'll take some time to get all of that done.
3. Ancients - In amongst the modern ranges, we're still wanting to expand/revamp our Ancients ranges, so we'll be fitting these in as and where possible.

Mart678
1. Vehicles - A long, long list of new vehicles to both expand our WWII ranges and add to our impending Modern ranges.

Real ancients, or a WRG-style interpretation extending to about 1700?

I may need to discuss this with my bank manager.

Truly it is written that the Dark Lord reveals little to his acolytes until a time of His choosing. It is said by His masses "that Dark Lord, he's a bit of a tease". 



"Everything from the end of WWII to the end of the Cold War". There's a lot of ground.

"Expand ... our Ancients range." There's a whole lot more.

Are you going to give us, the Zika viruses in the Pendraken Olympic athlete, a little more? Be a good Burlesque act and pop a few more balloons to let us see what's really going on.

The plan a couple of years back was to revamp and expand the whole Ancients period, starting with the Repub. Romans and Carthaginians.  We got the Spanish done as well, then the Romans/Gauls which will be available before the end of the month. 

The plan then was to head back and re-do the Greeks/Persian ranges, but we got a bit sidetracked with the Warband ranges, which had to be done to support the rules.  Similarly, with us now owning the various Commander rulesets, we need to get some ranges in place to support them, hence Techno heading to post-1945 next.  We are committed to redoing the Ancients though, so I want to fit them in as and where we can.

We'll be coming to the Forum for some input on this.  Firstly there's the armies that are listed in the Cold War Commander rules, but we also want to expand a little beyond that where possible.  So we'll be putting together a list of all the possible ranges we could do, and throwing it open to a public poll on which folks want to see first.

So are you mad because it on't work, or because you didn't cut yourself while doing it? :-\


Yes whatever the job, we all have those days nothing seems to work.

I call them 'weekdays'

Techno

Hi Peter.

I'm mad, because I was so close to finishing off the little swine....and now, I seem to have taken two steps backwards.  :'(

Definitely........ Dog walking time. ;)

Cheers - Phil.

Thank you. That's whetted the appetite a lot. Looking forward to some revamped Greeks.

Any chariots planned?

That's not or

That's a bit of reveal anyway. Still more balloons to pop!

Ghu dang nabbit, I just got the current army pack!

Although given you nicely replaced half the infantry with the very nice 1859 ones, I can't complain too much ;)
