Saw the announcement last week and let others know about it. Now the blurb is gone and no new articles etc. that I can find. What's up?

It's probably going to start in a few hours.
Relax, take a nap, come back and it'll be there.

Right. Will finish up Magnum's Review on it soon as I get in from work in 5 hours. It'll be online early evening US eastern time.

Was sick yesterday and didn't get finished with it as planned.

Cool, Didn't want to make it sound like I was being a stickler for punctuality. Just curious why it was not there today.

Thanks for the reply

On the other hand, I expected it to to be there at midnight.

Back off guys..

I'm going to win all the stuff!

Win stuff? Rogue's head on a pike? Is that the requisite for first prize?

You don't need to worry about any prize... :p

Two weeks!

No, seriously, we're working on it. Couple technical things to clear up in formatting et al. Hang in there.

Miao, Cat

Speaking of midnight...

Okay, okay...

Prizes? What prizes? Did anyone say something about prizes? Ohhhh... THOSE prizes. The contest will be announced later this week, and there is some really nice stuff to win including one item that's positively unique (right SSnake? )

I haven't received it yet to verify and contribute to its uniqueness, but it should arrive any day now.

Now that's just plain nasty.... Teasing us like this.....

Chromium plated dongle holder embossed with SimHQ logo? inflatable tank? big Joe's hat from Kelly's Heroes?

The review seems a bit on a lighter side to me, not as detailed as it should be.

In graphic section, it should’ve talked about 3D pits (and lack off on some units) and ‘clickability’.

In game play; difficulty of the game, missions, etc. Some missions I have never managed to complete even after playing over and over same mission for over 20 times.

AI: I do have one problem with AI drivers that drives me crazy (no pun intended). I’m not sure if this is just real world, or idiot drivers. I understand that the driver needs to pull up to a hull down position so I, as the gunner, can engage, but then as I’m tracking the target and getting ready to pull the trigger, the AI driver likes to back down out of view, causing me to lose the track. This issue can be easily solved by manually overriding driver AI.

thx for your comment... my "review" is explained in the feedback thread.

the next few articles may be more your style, at least I hope. I didn't do them, lol.

Hey, so far the new Steel Beasts articles have been pretty fresh and interesting reads! But what happened to the contest that was supposed to be announced? I hate to sound like a prize grubbing whore, but since this is my first post, I doubt that I can hide the fact!

I thought we all agreed to just forget the contest, and give me the prizes???

There'll be more than one prize.

Announcement coming soon. Very soon.
