RE: Just to say Hi :)
Welcome back.
CS is still going, though not as strong as in years past. Matrix is working on the Viet Nam series which should be a fantastic add for those interested in that period and there's still a group playing the Middle East version, though I haven't seen any recent game results. It's also a good series if you're interested. Takes a lot of getting used too, due to the lethality of the weapons and the huge time span.
Check out the 2018 ladder if you want to see who's still playing: https://www.theblitz.club/ladders/b-11.h...d=2&page=1
Change the year in the url to see an earlier year's ladder if you're curious.
Don't be a stranger!

RE: Just to say Hi :)
Hello Eddie,
You are sorely missed.
As you did, players move on. Which is probably symptomatic of what is happening to CS. But, many are still playing. I am not so sure, as Dave is, that the new releases will pump up the base. But, we shall see. There is always hope?
Remember the "Fields of Glory" tournament? And, "Top Gun".
Those were the days. If I had the time I would do another, I'd 'give it a go'. The last two attempts did not go so well.
I hope all is well with you?

I'd wait longer if they were making Inf types men instead of strength points. :)

On the coding and data side, this is far more difficult that one would think.
It's been a wishlist item of mine for a long time, but that is still a distant wish list item.

Just a heads up, but if you have the old talonsoft version it won't work anymore, you'll need the one from Matrix Games. Looks like it's on sale, only 10 bucks: http://www.matrixgames.com/store/product.asp?gid=318

Hey Raven / Eddie - really great to see you pop-up here man! I hope life has been treating you well my friend! Pretty slow go around here these days - but we still have some great guys developing scenarios for us to play which is awesome!
If your up to getting your feet wet again - man drop me a line at: t34_buster at hotmail dot com - would love to battle again with you!
All my best to you Eddie!

RE: Just to say Hi :)
Eddie,
So sorry to hear about your health issue.
I lost my sister this past February and one of her health complications was a late diagnosis of MS.
As Dave said, you will need a new Matrix copy unless you already have it.
And, yes, all tourneys were completed.
If you do get the desire to play again send me a file? I'll play you.
I never thought you played badly.
