Call for Volunteers - AACW

Hi
We need to try to reduce the confusion to the general users with beta patches, as the beta team is pretty much gone.
So, we are in need of 2 or 3 "veterans" to restart the AACW Beta team.
The major activity will be limited to testing "pre-release" patches. both beta and final. We are generally not going to do much with design changes at this time.
Reply either here or by PM to me.

Another call for help!

ouet:
We have a new release in beta, and need a couple of folks to "vet it" before it goes public.
Fewer volunteers = longer wait for public version (not a threat, just reality)

I've done beta for two other game companies and I know the amount of effort can vary considerably. Since I'm running the tournament, I'm unsure if I have the time to do more than test installs and run a few turns, but if that's what you're looking for, count me in.

If this had been a few months ago, I'd be good. Life is ramping up too much for me right now though.

Count me in Lodilefty. I am in Afghanistan currently, and find myself with more than enough time on my hands, and no way to reliably do any PBEM. So I can test to your hearts content.

Still need a few good men? I have played this game pretty much to death (only as the CSA, cannot get into the Yankee mode) so if you want someone to run a few games as the CSA, I'm your huckleberry.......
P.S. Never Beta tested in my life, I assume I just play the game and report any weirdness?

Cool!
How do I start and what do I do? As in: where do I get the Beta patch (which I assume is hidden somewhere very safe, being worked on by 'top men' )

If you scroll down from the Main (top) forum menu, you should now see the Beta form.
Patch is in a stickied thread there...
Go, test, report!
"What's said in beta, stays in beta" is the major rule!

I am new to ACW, but would be interested in joining the beta team. I was introduced to the game by (screen name) Wilheim Klink.We have PBEM'd a good number of TAOW3 (by Matrix) scenarios.
Currently we are trying to updated and debug an East Front 1943 Kharkov scenario (Klaus is much more familiar with the editor, but I have made observations which he incorporated.
I have also worked as a beta tester for a couple of Facebook Games CSI & an "Indiana Jones" type sim.
Klaus (Klink) suggested I join the beta team for ACW.
I am new to it, but it appears to be an excellent gaming system, with a strong internet community.
I was also very impressed with the speed in which a technical problem was resolved by your company (I had a failure downloading the manual, and the problem was rapidly corrected.
I would love to join the beta team, and have the time to spare (I am retired, and spend a LOT of time on my PC). The Civil War is one of my favorite periods.
I like the depth and mechanics of ACW, (I am still playing the AI, to better understand the details of play.
I plan on PBEM-ing Klaus (Wilheim Klink) as soon as possible.

Welcome to the forums!
Hang around here a few days, post some questions and ideas. We're at a temporary pause with AACW beta for a few days, then we'll see how many betas are still needed.

I have a moderate amount of time on my hands. (I don't like to move my armies and get their uniforms dirty...) I would like to apply.
PS
I have been playing since 2008 and I am, therefore, a very experienced player.

Real-life issues somewhat stabilized, so I now have time to do beta testing. Glutton for punishment, me.
