Watchword: Frustration

<t>I've played 4(?) scenarios into the WF campaign and have come away with 1 marginal and 3 draws. Unlike the Utah campaign this is not because i'm being fought to a standstill this is because of some wonky scoring. I just finished the trainyard mission and come away totally disgusted when I receive ...

Scenario pack ?

<t>Anyone else think it'd be useful to have a downloadable scenario pack done by matrix ? I know you can get individual scenarios at the depot and various sites, but you often have to know what you're looking for first ! You also have to worry about overwriting. I think it'd be nice if every few ...

New Matrix game ?

<t>I read somewhere that Matrix was starting a SP type game from scratch, can we get any details ?<br/>
<br/>
My ideal wargame would go something like this:<br/>
<br/>
There'd be a strategic mode for campaign and coordinated play, think original Harpoon. In this 'map' mode you could position whole ...

<t>"I don't think that this is a particularly unrealistic effect. The gun is only a couple of feet wide (not counting stand) and is made of the highest quality high tensile steel. A HE round landing 10 yards away will not have much effect on the gun (except possibly tipping it over - and even that ...

Steel Sharks!

<t>As I was taking a look at the Tulagi campaign, and the great map it's based on i had an idea. Why not create a SP naval mod ? The multi-maps would give you a decent size to play around with for small unit actions. In the aforementioned campaign the author even modeled in working destroyer. <br ...

Gun positions

<t>When you fire at, machinegun, bomb, strafe, or pound enemy gun positions with artillery, you very rarely destroy the gun itself. I think this is kinda silly. I end up pummeling enemy 88's, killing crew left and right, and keeping them suppressed, only to see the crew eventually re-man the ...

<t>Thankyou for the quick response's. I have to admit I'm not sure how to edit the config.sys and I definately don't want to create any problems for any other programs I have. Any pointers ? I'm using Win 98 and Iv'e never had a memory problem before running much more demanding games, kinda strange ...

New campaigns ?

<t>I was wondering if the Matrix staff were working on anymore official campaigns ? If so a couple possible suggestions..<br/>

-British in North Africa. Montogmery vs. Rommel. Played as British.<br/>
<br/>
-Japanese vs. USMC. Island hopping. Played as Japanese. Or. Japanese vs. Chinese in the ...

British AT gun classification

I've always been a bit unclear on how the Brit 'pounder'guns converted to mm. Anyone want to enlighten me ?

2pounder- between 30-50mm ?
6pounder- ?
17 pounder- 75mm/54 ?

Close-quarters combat

<t>SP1-3 were always pretty predictable. Move your tanks to a safe position, and either outmanuever or wait for your enemy. Playing the Utah to the Rhine Campaign is forcing me to be more creative. The first one with the delayed stugs/panthers was great, so was Carentan (sp?). Now I'm thick into the ...

Very Impressive

<r>I found the original SP by accident on the back of another game disk (Great Naval battles4?) a number of years ago and was hooked thereafter. I ended up buying SP2, the expansion, and SP3. When I upgraded to a new computer I suddenly found that I could no longer play, super-fast mouse scrolling ...
