Yes, the Basic version hasn't been released yet. Hopefully soon. OK, it's bee 77 days since "hopefully soon." How much closer is "soon" now?  -N
Sorry, but the operative word here is "hopefully" ! 
There have been a lot of bugs discovered, and this has resulted in a refinment of both rules and programming. Both are being addressed even as this is being typed.
You want to play a Basic game? Contact either Streaker, longneck, sirlindsleybray, argeleb, pbass111, michzeidler, or sfatula/sfatulateam with your request. These are the only people authorized to begin such games (besides the developers Alex and Nick). There is no requirement to accept such requests, however, as invitations are usually sent out personally to some of the better players for their feedback in this project. You're a newcomer, and I would suggest that you demonstrate your ability to function within the context of the game first.
Something else to consider: This project is not a "wish list". This is an attempt to bring the original Battleline/Avalon Hill board game from the 70s to life as an online, multi-player game. It has not been easy, and no one wants to hear how "unrealistic" it is. The rules are available on this site's Home page. Read 'em, follow 'em, and know them. Then you may make your request, and hope for the best.
The Simplified game puts everyone on the same level, other than experience. The Basic game, when completed, will hopefully be bug free, and released when this is accomplished. Not before.
Hope this helps.
