<t> $35 is a reasonable price for the whole package. I already have "Europe in Flames" so I'm going to have to look at the changes to see if it's worth it to me.<br/>

I had the same situation with TOAW and in the end I decided that TOAW 3 was not different enough from Century of Warfare to ...

Better map graphics.
Usable 3d units.
Sharper AI on both offense and defense.
AI that would allow you to delegate command of certain units, which would move and fight based on orders from the AI..

Must have the new mod . . . tell me it will be available soon

Naturally it is present, I stands at present only in negotiations with matrix Games, because of a publication. I would like reluctantly free of charge to deliver my hard work in addition, there the new features and before all the map ...

HPS does it.

My name gives 310,000 hits - I have the same name as a semi-famous Hollywood producer. He's younger than I, thinner, richer and has more hair.

What I like about Jim Cobb's reviews is that they contain very little fluff - they get right down to basics. After reading one of JIm's reviews, you get a pretty good idea whether it's the type of game that suits you.

I'd rather have a (relatively) bug free game even if it takes a little longer. Besides, it's not as if there aren't any new, good wargames out there to get as a Christmas present.[:)]

I suggest a diplomacy feature, where you can send negotiators to other countries (e.g. Spain and France in the Amer. Revolution portion of the game) to attempt to get economic aid or military aid.

<t> Napoleonic for me.<br/>

There already is a series focusing on the battles of Frederick the Great (Horse and Musket, now published by Matrix), there are at least two games coming out in the near future involving the American Civil War, Rome v. Carthage sounds interesting but not at the ...

<t> Had my first experience with the demo and I'm impressed. Good graphics, lots of strategic decisions to make and the tactical battles are very interesting. I'm going to be spending lots of time with the demo.<br/>
<br/>
The only downside is that I don't see a political element represented ...

Is there a demo for this game? Where can I get it?

<t> Carriers at War is on a different scale than UV or WiTP, battles as opposed to campaigns. In CAW, the game play consists of finding the enemy and engaging him, and that's it (as far as I remember). In those other two games, you are running an entire campaign over a huge geographic area. UV and ...

<t> The game page at Matrix doesn't give any details about the game play, but it does show screenshots, which are great.<br/>

The old graphics were good for its time (1990?) but let's face it, they're horrible now. The new graphics and modern interface are reasons enough for me to get the new ...

Actually better up is to add an option that you can turn off the animations if you want and activate them if you want.<br/>

As for terrain graphics, with larger hexes the terrain would be much more detailed and we could include far ...

Please work on the graphics. They really do need upgrading to at least HPS standards.

Glad you're with Matrix. After reading the AAR in the Wargamer, I'm definitely interested, especially with the upcoming improvements.

WitP got me more interested in the pacific war and prompted me to buy a few good quality books on the subject. knowing Roger Keating and quality of his and SSG work, I'm sure Carriers at War will be a work of art and a great success. And I ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>When the Matrix versions come out I will probably buy my 3 favorites, Waterloo, Getteysburg and Borodino and maybe another of the Civil War games.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

HPS has versions of Waterloo, Gettysburg and Borodino, as well as many other Napoleonic and ACW ...

Truly a classic. I can't wait to see how Matrix is going to enhance it. All it really needs is better graphics and a more modern user interface. The basic game play is outstanding.

I just saw the screenshots. Wow! I'm ready to buy it NOW!
