And if we have the Battlefront version, can we get a Matrix games serial?

That's probably a question that you need to ask on the Battlefront forum, or maybe to Steve.

Will the Matrix/Slitherine release of CMBN include all the components of the Big Bundle (Commonwealth Forces, Vehicle Pack, Battle Packs, etc.) or will these components be sold separately as DLC's ?

Not sure that I understand what this means in practical terms. I own all of the games through Matrix, the Waterloo and the ACW games. I have used the Steam keys for the Waterloo games, so Steam recognizes me as owning those games. If I take no further action, what will happen after September 1 ? I o...

IN the pictures some of the units look better than what I seen in the original game, are you using a mod to make the units look more like formations if so where is that mod. Also I want to confirm that this mod does not work with the version sold here but the official site version? This is a set of...

Any chance that the powers that be at Matrix/Slitherine will put this out on Steam ? Matrix's downloads are a pain to use, and the updates only seem to work less than half the time. I already own this game on Matrix, but want a Steam release so that I can have quick and reliable dowloads and updates...

If you buy it here Matrix will toss in a Steam key when the game comes to Steam on March 17.

You'll still be able to play the game if someone hacks your Steam account, and your money will be split two ways instead of three.

I happened to check My Page again and as of Mar 14, 2022, the update for WarPlan Pacific is now showing as 1.00.06.2.

Everything gets there eventually.

(Steam is also showing a release date of March 17 -- I'm guessing that's when we'll get our Steam keys).

[Post deleted because I was under-caffeinated this morning].

I just downloaded 1.00.06.1 and extracted it from the zip file, but haven't had a chance to test it yet. I'm assuming that a lot of Matrix/Slitherine resources have been tied up rolling out the new forum. In that context, any word on Steam keys being available in the near future ? (I saw the other t...

Wargame Design Studios recently released updates for its 15 Civil War Battles. This wasn't mentioned in the notes to my mod because when the mod first came out there was only one WDS version, and the mod needed to be applied over that. Just to be clear, start with a clean installation (version 4.0),...

I've just compared several of the images that I posted for one of my mods on this site to the same post I made on a couple of other sites. I do not like what the new forum is doing to my images. The colors are too bright and over-saturated. In particular, there are several images of dark blue counte...

1) The Forum is harder to use because the commands are less responsive than the old Forum.

2) Of the four or five forums that I post images on, this Forum's way of presenting them is ugliest and hardest to look at.

3) I don't like the Forum colors and font size. Is there a way to change it ?

<t> Making a few changes is a slippery slope. I started to play a campaign game to see how things looked and I kept noticing things that I wished were different.<br/> <br/> I've made some changes to the roads, railroads, and pikes in 2d and 3d. This should make them a little easier to find on the ma...

<t> The mod has been updated to version 1.5. Links in the first post of this thread.<br/> <br/> There is a new blocked-line-of-sight symbol for medium and large 2d textures, as well as repairs to the regular 3d roads (as opposed to the hand-drawn textures) and the 2d supply source counter.<br/> </t>

<t> All of the 3d textures in the images in this thread showed the hand-painted map, which is an acquired taste. I've replaced all the 3d images except two with the regular map.<br/> <br/> The hand-painted maps' grass texture is a very light yellowish green, and it smooths out the contours of the ma...

<r> Here's what the 3d flags look like from version 1.4 (link in the first post):<br/> <br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://i.imgur.com/4K2HnWb.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://i.imgur.com/4K2HnWb.jpg">https://i.imgur.com/4K2HnWb.jpg</URL><e>[/img]</e></IMG><br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://i.imgur.com/TGLNU...

<t> Emerson's hobgoblin has been busy.<br/> <br/> Confederates now use a guidon-shaped Stars and Bars as a 2d headquarters symbol in all periods. The 3d control flags now match the 2d control flags.<br/> <br/> The link in the first post of this thread will take you to updated version 1.4.<br/> <br/>...

Just to be clear, the game looks great because of the outstanding work done by Old Banshee and the WDS design team when they got together and overhauled the original game. All I've done is added historical flags and created an option to show the Confederate units in grey as well as butternut.

<r> The base game includes alternate unit textures. Here are some screenshots of the mod in action (grey units, butternut units, historical flags):<br/> <br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://i.imgur.com/IVt9j1u.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://i.imgur.com/IVt9j1u.jpg">https://i.imgur.com/IVt9j1u.jpg</URL>...

<t> The mod has been updated to version 1.3.<br/> <br/> The Period I and Period II full size U.S. flags now really do have 34 stars, and the zoomed-out hq flags are now shaped like guidons (Emerson's hobgoblin will be happier).<br/> <br/> The link in the first post of this thread will take you to th...
