<t> Only after posting my first AAR did I discover that it was not a "feature" to allow one to restart a turn to "optimize" it. This is my first PBEM game, looks like I made a blunder in my first turn of my first game -- point well taken aletoledo -- it won't happen again!<br/>
<br/>

<t> (My AAR should be as rough as they come -- my first PBEM game, my first Matrix wargame -- forgive me!)<br/>

I am taking the manual's advice and going after coastal China with everything I have in Turn 1. I've positioned every unit of my airforce now in coastal china, and I was able to ...

<t> I'd love it if in the patch, the arrow keys on keyboard scroll the map.<br/>
<br/>
Reason:<br/>
My laptop is 1900x1200 resolution. Game looks ugly full screen, so I'm trying windowed mode.<br/>
<br/>
Problem is scrolling the map -- I have to go all the way to my screen edges to get it to ...

just thinking of something... i'm out of town friday-sunday this weekend, wont be able to play during that time -- if that's a prob, pull an alternate player into my slot.

I'm fine to play Japan -- should be quite the learning experience

-Ryan

I played on the default setting (normal, i think it's called.)

-Ryan

after playing for 5 hrs last night, i did have hd whirring a lot, which slowed the game, and then i crashed due to the 64 unit thing, my computer had 1140M committed which is a lot more than i've seen from any game (my RAM is 768MB)

<t> Warning: Don't start the big campaign and expect to just play a few turns before going to bed. I ended up going to bed only after, as Soviets, I held off the German invasion, and finally pushed them back west to meet up in Western Europe with the coming from the West and South to stack up all ...

I'll play too -- are you thinking we use Advanced Supply yet? That scares me a bit - I made enough mistakes without it so far (but I'm willing to confront my fears!) [;)]

yes i noticed that the file size changed on me too [:-]

-ryan

<t> Hmmm I went away from my computer w 15 min left in the dl - came back, it was done (or so it seemed) - tried to click to install, the file said it failed integrity check... so i'm starting dl again [:(] <br/>
<br/>
Surprised if my business net connection here crapped out on the file -- I'll ...

Thanks Eric -- good they have the PR guy out in force watching the boards -- all in all I have to commend how you all are dealing with old timers + new recruits alike. [&o]

-Ryan

<t> I think the bottom line is the hardcore lurkers like myself will do DD -- I support the retail strategy as a way to gain far more exposure for the game to the larger gamers market.<br/>
<br/>
Now my question is how much later than 11am or noon EST would I forgive a delayed posting of DD ...

OK so now the question you also knew was inevitable....

What time on Monday March 28th will it be available? [:'(]

-Ryan

<r> As a newbie here, GGWaW will be my first Matrix game, I couldn't <B><s>[b]</s>disagree<e>[/b]</e></B> with you more nim8or.<br/>
<br/>
Bottom line is people are arguing w the simultaneous release date, which is a decision skewed "in favor" of new recruits... Some of the "old timers" have ...

heh I've called around a bit too -- my local EB Games says they have that it'll be in stores 3/26 in their computer, so they expected it might come in overnight -- but I didn't sense a whole lot of certainty in his voice

-Ryan

<t> I called my local Gamestop yesterday, the clerk said he didn't think they would stock it, that it seemed "obscure." He said if I pre-order it, that would trigger them to get a copy for me in their store (I'm in Cincinnati, Oh) -- question is to Matrix, will most Gamestop retail shops get copies ...

WAW will be "the" game to end all games.

Ruh roh, if all games will be ended when this is released, I better make my last days of gaming count [:(]

As I await GGWaW, I have been perusing the other games avail from Matrix, considering grabbing another one... Is there a consensus "best game so far" from Matrix?
