When the Empire discs were released over here there was a lot of

and regular release also. Some stores now say stuff like
"It's your last chance to get the limited edition" suggesting
that there is not all that many left. I wonder how "limited"
the deluxe version really is. Any one know how many copies
were pressed?

Write your reply.

assistant: It's going to be released in the fall sometime, I think september 1st, but
you know how these release dates are.  They set a date then push it back,
then set another date, then push it back again.  It will be released all on
one CD and it isn't really like any real-time strategy game we've played
before.  There is more strategy involved in this game than in C&C and
Warcraft.  You have to build refineries and ship yards on planets around the
galaxy and send your fleets to engage the enemy.  I think one of the coolest
parts of the game is that the rebel base is randomly hidden on a planet at
the beginning of the game and it is mobile.  So if an imperial attack is
imminent, then you can uproot and find a new base of operations...

Write your reply.

assistant: First of all they were engaged in guerilla tactics. Guerilla warfare is
the use of "irregular" warfare tactics. That's what the Ewoks were
doing. They were combatting in a matter that was not standard to the
Imperials...how often did they fight against tribal jungle warriors.
Easy, they didn't see them as a viable threat. When your choice is to
attack the rebels who are attempting to destroy the shield generator or
fight off some fuzzy wildlife the choice is obvious.
Remember asides from an eventual marketing concept the ewoks further
highlight the theme of a weaker inferior force being victorious over the
vastly superior Empire. (Much like the rebels attacking the Death Star
in ANH)
