Hi,
Firstly great effort from the community, have been following this site for some time and cant wait for release (havent got the beta).
Just a question about tactics. In the screens it looks like players line up in traditional 3 backs, 3 half backs, wings, rucks, 3 half forwards, 3 forwards positions.
Is it possible to edit this area, eg - play loose man in defence, or bring players up to the wing?
Secondly, will the game run on windows 7?
Lastly is there anyway to get the beta or do i have to wait until release?

Hey mate. Not too sure about the tactics, but the game will run in Windows 7. If you encounter bugs trying to run it in Win7, check out the Technical Support page. There is a good troubleshooing guide there.

In the game there is an option to play loose in defence but not much else

Outside of that you can give direction to positions like having ruckmen drifting forward or into defense, or your wings pushing forward/back, back flanks playing up the ground etc.

Yes each player has several instructions that you can give them depending on their positions (ie forwards options are play as a marking forward, out of the goal square, play loose man in defence, play up the ground and a few others) Yes it will run on windows 7 I play it on windows 7 Beta is close but the full game is to be release on the 25th of March THIS YEAR so in 15 days you can get your own copy.
