When will by ready Europa Barbarorum II?

[Digby Tatham Warter]

Seen as this question will be asked again(and again) perphaps it should be stickied!

EB is the best Mod/Game I have played, although I ended up with 1 in 3 battles crashing in EB in the last version and gave up, now I am not that keen on ETW, so I will have to wait all so patiently for EBII.
My only worry is parts of the battlefield troop movements and fighting animations, pikes fighting, etc are poor in MTWII compared to RTW, I am hoping the EB's can work their magic in this area.
Best of luck to all the peeps working on this, and can't wait to get my grubs on the end results.
