If I were alone in saying that this is the wrong way to go about it, you might have a valid point. The fact is SEVERAL people have expressed their displeasure at Matrix making their past customers wait, on the hope that they will get more ...

Did you try or see the RTW demo? It hardly gave a good example of the entire game. And a very little one of the battles themselves. Some demos aren't very good period.<br/>

I'm kind of like some of the above, a demo should allow a ...

<t> I thought another issue that IGN had (and maybe I misunderstood) was that there was no map option to show just the units that could still move. In otherwords, you can change the map to only show supply I think, and they wanted to make it so it would only display units that could still move.<br ...

I would agree, if I didn't see exactly the same thing on every game forum in the history of the internet everytime a major release slips by one day! <br ...

<t> Well from what I understand from reading the AAR's build and research strategy by one country have a profound affect on the strategy of their oponent. If Russia builds nothing but tanks, it may be in Germany's best interest to attack right away before they are built catching Russia undermanned ...

Yes something like that would be cool, as what I want is something random so that the start of every games is somewhat random (though I do not want any extremes)

Another idea that would be even simpler ...

<t> Once I figure out how the control files work, I could easily write a Q&D program that would randomize certain elements within specified reasonable ranges.<br/>

Then you could run that before you start a game, and you would get a different game everytime you played.<br/>

Thanks guys, now I get it. I think the micro manager in me would probably not want to use that option.

Hope this hasn't been covered but when looking at a shot of the setup screen I noticed an option for each country called 'Area Supply'.

I understand Automatic Supply and Advanced Supply, but what exactly does Area Supply mean?

<t> First China just to get my feet wet.<br/>
Second Russia, to help learn the combat and supply system for a land based power.<br/>
Third Germany, still mostly land based but I'll get an itro into some limited naval.<br/>
Fourth Japan, jumping into the naval aspect with both feet.<br/>
