Thanks Wild Bill and the Eagles!

<t>I was playing your Screaming Eagles campaign. That was the most intense, nailbiting campaign I've ever played!<br/>
And I play SP since 1995!<br/>
<br/>
I always was a fan of paratroops like the Eagles or the Red Devils, so this was one for me!<br/>
<br/>
Great campaign! Played all through the ...

<r>I played SP I, II and now W@W, but I've never used the hex grid. It distracts from the mood of "being there" and clutters the screen.<br/>
It takes some time, but after this "learning curve" you know where a tile starts/ends and where you have to be careful <IMG src="http://www.matrixgames.com ...

I see your point, but I'm absolutely sure, that it was not the intention of Matrix Games to exclude german wargamers. It was just an oversight that will be easily fixed with the next patch.<br/>
There is no reason to attack Matrix for not knowing local ...

AI smoke usage and SOME topics!

<t>After playing some scenarios and the long campaign as the germans, here are some points that should be adressed in the next update:<br/>
<br/>
1. AI smoke usage<br/>
Well, there is none.<br/>
I played some scenarios against the AI where the AI has to assault. There was a river assault, and the AI ...

no, I don't think that the target lock should be adamantite.<br/>
The current target should be the primary target as long as a direct threat appears that could do damage to the firing unit (it should not switch targets if a truck comes around the corner).<br/>
I.e., a Tiger ...

Wild Bill,

any results to the question:
"Do I have to spare one or two shots in my turn to have my tanks do op fire during the enemys turn?"

Thanks.

Unit text n/a?

<r>In the \ENC folder are a lot of unit text descriptions.<br/>
Where is this text supposed to be shown? I see no descriptive text in the encyclopedia, nor in the in-game detailed unit screen?<br/>

Undocumented features

Anyone knows what the options "Hidden forts" and "victory frontage" in the preferences screen do?

Thanks

Arty a little bit weak?

<r>Is it only me, or is the artillery not this efficient?<br/>
<br/>
Even barrage after barrage of 155mm shells rarely have any significant effect, not even on soft targets.<br/>
<br/>
Maybe the values for artillery should be tweaked to give them a little more punch?<br/>
At this scale, if 4-6 155mm ...

I too have seen some very strange high armor ratings in the pop-up descriptions while playing against the polish in 1939.<br/>
Stuff like "34 pen vs. 366 armor, no effect"...against a polish light tank. It happens often that these values appear, e.g my PzIII on a hill and the ...

Vehicle sounds too loud?

<t>Some said that the movement sounds are too loud, and I feel the same.<br/>
But its easy to change. Load the following sounds into a wave editor and decrease the volume by 60% (most shareware editors should do it):<br/>
78.wav, 79.wav, 80.wav<br/>
<br/>
This accounts for the loudest sound (tank ...

Thank you Paul, Mike, Wild Bill, and all other contributors for an outstanding game!<br/>

This year 2000 has SPWaW, Combat Mission and WDK2K; this accounts for the best wargames in the last 5 years!<br/>
