Last rumors I heard is that it bumped to Jan.

Pffffftttt.

Glad I didn't already signup for Apple yet.  They'll get my money after I've heard reviews.

They’ll get my money as soon as it drops.  :D I read the book in anticipation for it. I’d rather just be disappointed than wait any longer  :rofl

I have no doubt it will be worth watching.

I hope so.  I was kinda disappointed in The Pacific.

Band of Brothers set the bar pretty high but I liked The Pacific.

I was just discussing this with some coworkers this morning.  One of them is watching the Pacific (having never seen BoB either), and I was explaining how much darker The Pacific is.  It's two totally different types of warfare, and I like how the Pacific focuses on the mental aspect of that.  It's almost an unfair comparison between the two, but BoB definitely set the standard for historical series.

I'm attempting my third struggle through The Pacific right now.  I don't think I'll make it.  Conversely, I've watched BoB probably a half dozen times.

I would exploit this movie and AH together. Movies can spark a lot of trends. Ya can't ask for a better time to advertise and connect the two....everywhere.

Juuuust sayin...

I've had AppleTV for a year in anticipation of this; still says its coming at a later date.  Not sure, could the writer's strike have set back the schedule?

Hoping for it by the end of the year...

That could be very possible. It's probably already filmed. It could be the editing getting slowed up, depending on which side of the line their on. Takes more time to edit than film.

AH is the only current multiplayer sim with the ability to fly heavy bombers, as far as I know.  In IL-2, you can't even fly medium bombers (I consider the A-20 a light attack bomber).  Must definitely get the word out.

Also, scenario planners - how about a Big Week-type scenario some time after the final episode airs?

I plan on gearing up Fortress Europe events, might need a hand running them but I am looking at schedules now.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I'd suggest right before it drops not after.

So many fanbois are going to be drooling at the mouth waiting for the drop after all this time being, able to LARP it while they are waiting might play on their peak arousal.  ;)

$0.02.

To whet your appetites, this doc has some great WWII color in it, and tells the story pretty well.
