Just wanted to let everyone know this is trucking right along towards completion. Rules are pretty much done and will be entering preliminary templating and layout in about a week. Still have a bunch of plane sheets to crank through, but the Italians and French are done.

At this point, I don't think we're going to make a January release, but early February is very likely. Stay tuned!

Not really, though I appreciate the offer. Playtesting is 99% done, and now it's just a matter of slogging through plane sheet creation and counter generation. The counters won't take long since I can build off of the MAS counters.

Quick update: I have 6 Commonwealth plane sheets to go, some ground unit counters and then layout. The end is in sight! :)

Woohoo!

I can give it another pass this week now that I have more time.

Well, obviously my initial deadline has passed. However, we are very close to completion. I hit a snag when I realized that none of the encounter markers from MAS could be reused due to going to 5 altitude bands in the WWII adaptation, so I lost some time redoing all those counters.

Here's where we are at this point:

78 Plane Sheets: 100% done, and proofread
Plane Counters: 100% done
Ground Encounter Markers: 100% done
Ordance Markers: 100% done
Naval Encounter Markers: 0% done
Layout: 85% done

I'm cranking on this one, as I'm as excited to get this done and in your hands as some of you are to get it. :)

Besides, the sooner I get MTO done, the sooner I can get to work on PTO. :P

Well, we've run into some non-MAS related snags courtesy of Jay's employer and my health. However, those seem to be back under control, so we'll get back to work on MAS-WWII:MTO post haste!

OK, everyone, just wanted to let you know the basic work on MAS-WWII:MTO is done. I'll be handing off the master files to Tyrel for final assembly tomorrow. We're in the home stretch!!! :)
