Muzzy Lane has announced that they are three weeks past the official launch of Making History II and the game keeps getting better. Bugs are being squashed as fast as they are being reported, features are being introduced and tuned per community request and today we are introducing a demo version of the game featuring the *Last Days of Peace (1939)* scenario.  The Demo will allow gamers to play 50 turns.

In addition to the demo, **update 1.0.10** is now live. They're going to do their best to keep up with the patch-per-week schedule we've set for themselves, so stay tuned for further improvements to every aspect of the game. This week's highlights include territory transfers, expanded espionage gameplay, new resource producers, and a few new financial production options.

In an email to Wargamer.com, Muzzy Lane has invited gamers to share their feedback on the game: "As always, bring on the feedback good or bad and keep letting us know what we can do to make your game better.  Also, remember to register MHII before the end of the month for a special thank-you from the Muzzy Lane team."
