I'm right behind you Teal!!!!
Can't w8 for the 18th of Novembre....ROCKING DAY! Plus the mines have a camouflage ability I need for my mod! Gotta love this eh! Devellopers always there to help, doing their best to actually adapt to the community instead of rushing their point of view like other companies (*cougs EA *coughs)!
Personnaly, I would have went with the diplomacy expansion first (thats what, IMO is missing the most! And would make this game even more strategic (damn this is like the 10th post in which I say strategic...)!
I'm also glad you didnt iimplement a single player campaign!! Cus that would have probably destroyed the game and its community! Though I would encourage to possibly release the tools that could give modders a chance to make their own scenarios! I got some ideas of a campaign I would like to make 
Well I guess im turning around the pot right now! So to summarize, this is the NO1 Game ive bought in a long time (the only game Ive been playing before this is GW since its premiere release like 3 years ago...)!! Worst part of this is it was a rush buy (I just went on internet and fell on an add for this game and suddenly wanted it!)
I can honestly say I am sooooo far from having been dissapointed! Playing this game is always a challenge, the AI is brilliant IMO (hard really kicks ass in locked teams) So I can only imagine what unfair in unlocked teams with pirates on will do 
)!
So yes...Teal said it all! 3 cheers for Iron/Star and just keep it coming, I've got my credit card ready to buy everything you send our way!! (wouldnt mind a SoaSE T-shirt if your selling any )!
LOOOL!
Take care,
Justin S.
