<t> I see a publishing partnership with Paradox to be a good thing for MMG. <br/>

Out of the niche strategy publishers (Paradox, Matrix, Shrapnel, Battlefront, ect. . .) Paradox probably has the broadest retail coverage in North America. If MMG's goal is a traditional 'retail release' rather ...

<t> I picked up the game a few weeks ago and have been playing off and on with the Michigan-Ohio-Indiana scenario. The game was very difficult to find but eventually a gamestop employee revealed to me that they had a few copies of SR 2010 in the backroom. The US retail box is about 35% thicker then ...

BTW, my favorite part of that game was the modelling of individual ships and keeping track of what ships they sunk. That was very nice. Especially when playing the UK!

I just finished my first game of WaW. I played the Axis and got beat down by the allies and soviets by the end of 45.


I feel sorry for all you guys and your advanced skills. A so-so AI is usually challenge enough for me. [:D]

Just remove the manual and then sell the retail cd to your friend. The retail cd comes with .pdf and .doc copies of the manual so your friend should be all set.

<t> I could see there being a market for a game like WaW on Xbox live. Waw itself might not be a great choice since it seems built for PBEM instead of network play. However, if someone made a game similiar in feel to WaW but with a WEGO system to lessen downtime, it might have a shot. <br/>
<br ...

I picked up a copy of WaW from a local Ebgames. I did not bother to preorder or anything special. Four copies came in today and I grabbed the last one. [:D]

My dialup connection saves me again! [:)]

I have not even bothered to call a retailer yet. Experience has taught me that Ebgames/Gamestop/Bestbuy/Ect never make their projected release dates for niche computer games.

It is better to save your energy and start inquiring about the game 3-7 days after the release date.

This game looks great. Any vague guesses for a release window?[:)]

Wow, the list of features reads like a dream game. [X(]


Hopefully there is some substance behind it.

Wow, the game map must look pretty awesome to be using all that firepower. [:D]

At the moment (without the opening video), the game is about 320 MB zipped. I don't what else Matrix will add to the download, but this gives you an idea.

Thanks for the info.
