I know it won't make you feel any better but I am as impatient to get things rolling as you are.
The Pacific Northwest has been pounded by snow storms this year. Close to 80" has fallen on my little 5 acres and I have spent days -- literally days shoveling snow during the past two weeks. Snow blower broke and I've been hand shoveling my 150 yard driveway. These storms have been dumping between 8" and 24" at a pop. I'm actually starting to get in shape. Nothing like 8 hours of constant manual labor to get the blood pumping (and my back aching).
Needless to say my crew has been similarly afflicted. We got no work done at all in the last month other than utter emergencies.
Before all this happened, I had been putting in 12 hour days -- often going home between 8 and 10 p.m. About 6 of those hours were spent on Yanks!
I probably have about 120 hours of work to do on Yanks! before I turn it over to the layout editor. You don't absolutely have to have Yanks! to play Watch Your Six!
but I think most will say the two are a pair.
Today I spent 6 hours getting to the road that runs by my house (10" of snow last night) and another 3 hours getting into my office. Dirt bag city snow plow stacked up a pile 8 feet high and about 6 feet wide. The said they intended to remove it all before 8 a.m. but the whole mess froze into a solid block on ice. We were literally out there with mattocks and spades pounding through this stuff just to get in the door. (That took about 3 hours).
If I put half the things I said about the plow drivers today, into writing, I'd be arrested and prosecuted with little difficulty.
Well tomorrow is another day. Maybe I'll get some work done.
