Thanks for your responses guys. Josh , that is exactly my sentiments about TOAW. While I can still enjoy that game it will be refreshing to try one that is similar but with a softer center. Another fish yanked into the Matrix boat. [:)]

Thanks Borsook.

I suppose then that this is like neither of them and has cleared in own path through the forest of games. Nothing wrong with that. Thanks for the response.

<t> Hi all.<br/>
<br/>
Once again Matrix is fishing with great bait and hooked this little fish on their line. Thinking of buying tonight if I can ask one question.<br/>
Is the gameplay more like TOAW with its more indepth historical feel and the feeling you are involved in a sweeping epic battle ...

<t> When I wrote my OP I had just finished reading all the price threads that have sprung up in recent weeks. I could not understand how many people were trying to justify buying a game based on many hours they would enjoy it compared to the amount of dollars they spent on it. I fully believe they ...

<t> Hi all - not much of a poster but I have to ask if anyone else looks at buying wargames like I do?<br/>
I have been reading all the Price threads on some of the games just out/coming out and I fail to see how people can <br/>
base a decision on buying a game on how many hours of enjoyment they ...

<t> The whole shrinking PC market thing - as Wodin mentioned - appears to be a "dance of death". The smaller the market the higher the Devs and Publishers have to set their prices......... the higher the prices the smaller the active buyers.......<br/>
the smaller the group of buyers the higher the ...

<t> Hi Wodin<br/>
Hope you do not give up on some quality new blood around here. I dare say these many posts might not portray "the best". [:)] These kinds of issues tend to bring out the worst in some of us.<br/>
I am another professional lurker on this site and have many Matrix games. I have ...

<r> Hey guys <br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I had the same question some time ago - see this link&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <LINK link="http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1318391"><s>[link=http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1318391]</s>http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1318391<e>[/link]</e ...

Gotta thank you for having the cannonballs to come on here and post this type of AAR. Far from looking stupid, it demonstrates your thought processes in a way that I am sure a lot of us can identify with ( well , at least me anyway ). Like a nerd going to a new school and ...

Hey emike

Can you not simply burn the program that you downloaded onto your laptop onto a disk (a DVD disk since it is too big for your typical 700mg blank) and then load it onto your desktop that way? I did and had no problem

<t> Hey JD<br/>
<br/>
When you load your save game let the song you hear end - when it does you will not here the music again. I , like you , hate music with my games and I stumbled on this when I had a little self control on one load up and let the music continue. So I suppose the music is truly ...

<t> Hey , thanks for the information guys. What you are suggesting makes perfect sense and reveals another level of realism built into the game. While I probably fall more on the playability side of the great Playability / Realism debate , I certainly appreciate a well made historical sim. As I am ...

<t> Okay , thanks Johnnie. I thought it might be something simple. I suppose I should have tried going up the scale of difficulty but I assumed that sargent was the level that did not give either side a boost and thus would see the AI attack regardless. In COG , you could always expect the "other ...

<t> Hi <br/>
<br/>
I have started 5 or 6 games since P- Day (purchase) always as the CSA and have tried different things and read the manual as necessary. When I go into detailed battle mode (which looks great!!) I have almost always been on the defensive and herein lies my question. I always ...

<t> Hey<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
The fact that you guys are enjoying playing the game comes through loud and clear. Maybe thats what brings your AARs to life. In my mind , testers are just as important as Devs.&nbsp;Without them the game remains in its infant stages until released and the great unwashed ...

<t> Hi all<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I consider myself a professional lurker and as such it takes something special to get me off my butt to actually post something ( as you can see from my paltry lack of posts!! ). But I really have to say that the time , dedication and clear concise explanations that ...

<r>Hi guys<br/>
<br/>
I have the same problem here. I have been able to download all the patches as they came out and had no problem running the game each time. This time I downloaded the latest patch with Trueupdate as always - received message that I was successful in installing said patch. But ...
