Of course, none of the current ones I own:)  Hopefully others coming soon.

We are working out what comes next, ideally titles where there is a single graphics set like the Vietnam or Pacific War titles. The stand alone titles like Spanish Civil War or First World War may be later due to the amount of new art needed.

That said, we are experimenting with AI generated images currently and that may be a great shortcut if we can get the quality we want.

So net net, work is ongoing, all the code is completed, and it is primarily art assets and revisions of the order of battles to use the new art that has to be done.

Finally, do have a look at the blog post in the initial post, we have given some great reference material away for free and who doesn't like free stuff!

Thanks and don't get me wrong, much appreciate the updates, just first round didn't happen to hit the games I had for Eagle Strike and Vietnam, although sounds like that one might be next.  Eventually I will try other games in the series but would like to see how the update goes.  Maybe I missed it, but did the demo version get updated?

FYI...I just updated Advance to the Reich to 4.01.  Unlike other series updates, for these you have to delete your 4.00 version, and get a new installer from WDS (easy to do, just sign into your account from their home page) and install it from there.

Not yet, but should be in the near future.
