True. However, you can not always win this way. You can avoid losses because you can select not to fight or you can concentrate on the missile units and thus the enemy can not retalilate whereas you can make consecutive attacks of all your surviving units on one enemy one.
Before the last patches, you could also have an exploit, you got out of the fortress and the y followed you, then you got back in, and they were all the times going to and fro the same area. In the meantime if you had built the magic tower, they were hit every turn.
Only with these and other exploits I could beat it most of the times, although I am a pretty experienced player in these games. Of course, I always played in the max difficulty level.
Good example!
When?

RE: ai
I guess in this case No News are not Good News.
I counted on the game being released by early July, then Steven explained that was his projected release date, then I learn Matrix will release the product when Matrix is ready to.
So, finally, Steve, tje product will be ready ( in it's first version) by 1st July? If not, is there another temptative date? If yes, any clue on how can it go the release by Matrix?
Good work anyway!

AI vs AI???
I sure hope that WiF will have AI vs AI capability. I remember the good old days of the first computer war games and they did have the AI vs AI ability. I always liked that so while I was reading the manual I could set the AI's to play the game and I could watch the action and see what was going on. I've been disappointed as the industry has gone away from this early excellent feature and hope that it will make a comeback. For scenario design that feature was extremely useful.
Convoys Straight???
I bought the original computer version of WiF done by ADG and the one thing I didn't like was how the program over thought the convoy routine. Everytime that I set it the way I wanted it would change it any time I went into that feature to look to ensure it was still set or when it came time to do the convoy resources routine. I sure hope that my reading of the improvements on the resource convoy system are correct that once set it will stay set unless convoy attacks change things.
RE: Convoys Straight???
The Matrix newsletter I just got says WIF is coming soon!

"Coming Soon" for MWiF has not meant much in the past...
Anyway, I checked out the Newsletter button on the top of the page and the latest one there is Jan 2012...is there a more recent one?

July 1, 2012 Status Report for Matrix Games’ MWIF Forum
Project Management
In the first half of June I monitored all the threads in the MWIF World in Flames forum daily. Then I took another one of my 2 week vacations. This time is was for a heart attack and triple bypass surgery. I am sure that you will greet this information with as much joy as I did.
I was in the hospital for 12 days but got out a day earlier than the doctors’ had expected (4 days after the operation). The surgery itself went well and it is just a question of mending my body and my ways. For the latter, I have set up a structured daily routine, with meals at fixed time, as well as exercise and rest. There is an absolute maximum on the number of hours I can work (5 hours a day), but that is only if I am doing well and keeping up with my exercise and rest regimen.
Bypass surgery involves cutting open the sternum, rerouting the arterial blood flow to the heart muscle so the entire heart is getting oxygenated blood, using thin titanium threads to reconnect the bone back together and then suturing the skin tissue. Like for any other broken bone, the healing process is 6-7 weeks. Until then I can’t lift anything weighing 8 pounds or more.
I am being careful about going back to work. So far the only thing I have done is write this short status report. I’ll probably wait another couple of days before putting my task list back in order and up-to-date. Then I’ll ease the car back into gear and see how it runs on the straightaways.
Sorry that I don’t have better news.

RE: Convoys Straight???
Very sorry to hear about your heart attack - but glad to hear that the operation went well!
My medical knowledge is rather limited, but I would think it being quite important to give your body time to recover properly before going back to work - delaying MWiF a few weeks or a month is no big deal afterall - especially compared to your health [:)]
Enjoy the break [;)]

Nikolaj

I'm praying for you, Steve.
Your health is not helping you these days ): ): ):
Please, work less and keep your health in better shape!
It's worth infinitely more than any game, how good it can be.

RE: Convoys Straight???
Sorry to hear that you had the heart attack Steve, but very happy it seems like the procedure and everything else is going ok so far. Hopefully you can make a full recovery sooner than later and I agree with other posters. The game can wait. Your well being is more important.

RE: Convoys Straight???
Hi Steve.
Wow, you shouldn't have broken that mirror when you passed under the ladder following that black cat!
No, seriously, what a run of bad luck!
Well, the important is that you get as well as you can in your present conditions, everything else is accesory,
Take care. Good luck!

RE: Convoys Straight???
Hope you get better soon. Don't worry about the game at all. It'll be here when you come back 3, 6, 12 months from now. And if you have to give it up altoghter, that's no problem either. Listen to your wife.
