So is this place like a freaking grave yard?

The only problem with that is that's where we got into trouble with the old Talonsoft versions with the map files that wouldn't translate and everyone on a different page. I actually got accused of cheating because of a version problem in a team game. Left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.

That shouldn't be a problem this time, as the version won't be directly compatible, much the same as the compatibility between Divided Ground and Middle East.

Does it mean all current scenarios would be unusable with new games. Will there be a feasible way to convert the scenes somehow? It would be a pity to loose all thi great work done by many designers.

Another question, any chances of a playable demo or some means check out the new game before committing to buy....

Directly, no. Indirectly, most likely. 

I don't believe a demo will be available.
