Studying the actual war has changed the way I play

I know a lot of people are going to read this and say "Duh" but it's very true! I was interested in the Pacific Theater, so I picked up the game, but I admittedly didn't know much about it. I've been reading the Ian Toll trilogy on the Pacific War and I know much more about the war now. While ...

Installed on new computer, can't see search arcs

I recently got a new computer and installed the game but for some reason I am unable to see the search arcs of my patrols on the screen. I'm not sure how to get it so they're showing. Is there a way to fix that?

Looking for opponent for Guadalcanal scenario

<t> Hello! I have played a PBEM scenario before and had fun with it, but it was around the time I was starting my first full time job and I ultimately had to stop. I feel like I'm ready to start another one now and I am far more confident in my ability to compete with a human player. I am willing to ...

Can't play on Steam or download through the site

<t> I purchased WITE through the Matrix site and got a steam key. The steam version worked for a long time but stopped recently. I've heard this is not an issue with the version direct from the Matrix site, but it will not download after clicking the link. Is there a known solution to either of ...

RE: Question about encirclement

Dang I tried creating several pockets in my 1941 scenario game and was excited to capture thousands of men, but when I ended the turn and began the next one, the AI had broken out of all but one pocket :/ any advice for making pockets tight enough that they don't break out?

Question about encirclement

Do you have to have a pocket with 100% encirclement, meaning a unit covering every possible escape hex, or is there a way to get enemy troops to surrender with only most of the surrounding hexes covered? Creating a big pocket with 100% encirclement seems impossible

Never was a huge fan of this game... until today

<t> Guys: I've had this game for years. I have played it on and off, but never have really gotten into it or understood it. After playing a few different Gary Grigsby games, I finally felt prepared to tackle this beast. I started up the Road to Leningrad scenario, you know, something simple and ...

How easy is it to be picked for beta testing for matrix?

<t> I have been playing games from Matrix for several years now, but no game they have announced has excited me as much as Shadow Empires. I have admittedly never beta tested before, but I would be overjoyed to beta test this one. I applied, but does anyone know how picky they are with their testers ...

Seeking opponent for any scenario up to and including GC (closed)

<t> Hey! I have a difficult time getting into WITPAE when I'm just up against the AI. I have played through half a scenario with a human opponent, however, and had an absolute blast with it! Completed at least a turn a day for about a month. I am open to playing either side. I am also open to ...

Question about men "lost in surf" during unload

What exactly does this mean? Forgive me, I'm admittedly kind of a noob in the wargaming scene. What is being simulated when it says men are lost in the surf? Does it mean they drown during the unload or something?
