I definitely got my $40 worth, and then some. Everything coming down the pike is lagnappe (free goodies-something Matrix is pretty generous with.[:D]

<t> It depends on the scenario. I would opt for a variable deployment option for a War in the East (WW2) type scenario. With Case White (Poland), I'd give the Poles a choice of alternate deployment, but not the Germans. For D-Day, no alternate deployment unless the allies can invade elsewhere. Some ...

<t> Recently I was informed that non-artillery unit placed on tactical reserve suffer a severe penalty when the reenforce adjacent units. The penalty is because, since they are moving 1 square to provide reenforcements, they suffer the benalty for being "mobile".<br/>
<br/>
I understand the ...

Mochos Gratias, I get sticky with acronyms at times. Merry Christmas[;)]

What is a UAV?&nbsp;&nbsp; Un-armoured vehicle, as we freguently see in Iraq? Or something a bit more combat worthy than a stock Hummer? Id use a [:D], but I really don't know what a UAV is, so I'll go with [&:].

Any more news from the front on this one? I got a buddy who got the board game for Xmas (he snuk a peek)[:-]. I'd love to play, but the board is larger than my living room, so it'll have to be the PC version.[&:]

<t> I am in the midst of a heated PBEM game (Dec 30, 1944). The Germans have been held way short of their histroical advance, but at huge cost in blood, supplies and proficiency to the Americans. Also, a few divisions of mine will not stop reorganizing (I'm sure they do that till the Germans advance ...

There is sopposed to be a new medication out for wargame addiction. I think its called Oxycontin, or something like that.....[:'(]
&nbsp;
Welcome back, we do have 12 step programs available.[X(]

I am playing a game of EA as the Axis. I had no trouble taking Denmark, but Norway is killing me. Both had garrisons.
&nbsp;
Did you DOW and wait a turn before invasion?

<t> Thanks for filling in some of the blanks between my ears[:D]. An EQUIPMENT&nbsp;editor, allowing one to change the attributes abd values of sub-units (e.g. recon ability of a Panzer Mk. III), would be exactly what the doctor ordered. As a true believer in Matrix Games (and the associated ...

<t> Well, I am a loyal customer who has made a few sugguestions, helped write up a list of triggers for WaW, and (mostly) asked a hell of a lot of questions. <br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I have found both Matrix and their Gaming Community extremely supportive (including tech support). I'm not a programmer ...

<t> I understand the specs Golden listed for Paras in TAOW3. Does this apply to ALL scenarios. Playing EA, I had a lot of trouble with paras during the sitzkreig, but it could have been aircraft availibity/weight. Also, can a designer add additional restrictions to paras? (may only jump once, etc ...

<t> As usual, a good bit of worldly wisdom from Ravenhood. I do the same (usually). I also read Forums, reviews, and any thing I can get my hands on. Not that one comment or rewiew hold much water, but the general level of carpin and griping can let you know how popular a game is much better than ...

Lots of nice chat about Sealion......
&nbsp;
I wonder if Matrix could do an upgrade of SSI's Panzer Commander. Failing that, since I have the original program, does any one know how to run it on Windows XP?

<t> This is a TAOW3 scenario I downloaded from the Wargamer. Has anyone else played it. The "House Rules" are a bit restrictive, but without them, Russia ceases to exist....rapidly.<br/>
After deciding to follow the rules (solo), I turned out to be a challanging, balanced game.[8D] I wonder if ...

<t> The also won't do diddley in the phoney war. Since I do not know what game you are playing, and the date, I can only make general guesses. Paras and gliders do not see to operate under the same constraints. In some scenarios, Paras can only jump once, or on certain turns. I have learned the hard ...

It's probably the weather. The dont like to fly and jump in snow, rain, ect. [:D]&nbsp;I found out the hard way.[:-]

<t> OK. Thanks guys. I actually UNDERSTAND what it does and doesn't do. Muchas Gratias to all who contributed to lessening my stupor.[&o][&o][&o][&o][&o]<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
PS&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If I know Matrix, It will be released when ready (which I aprove of). Keeps the number of patch versions ...

I would not leave out Brunswick (download from net). It is the German drive on Stalingrad & The Cacusaus, on monster scale. Also the Great War should fit the bill. I'd still go with Europe Aflame, as it has the most mileage, and is really great.

Awesomke graphics, what set or combination thereof is it?
