[&o] I'm very happy to hear that. One of the great aspects of this game is the ever-evolving nature of it in regards to scenario design. Now to know that you all have decided to continue tinkering with the code for another couple of years- that's great news! Personally, I hope you never stop trying to make this game better. I love this game.

There are, in fact, three projects that are on the drawing board, but I will not divulge what they will be, at this early date. This is due to the fact that it will be no less than 18-24 months down the road, before any one of them will be ready, and I don't want to get people too worked up about the projects until they are much closer to release.

The fact that Matrix is planning in such a long term for TOAW is pretty promising in itself. A further indicator that this won't be a 'fire and forget' release.

Just remember. If not enough people buy toaw3, matrix will have to scale back or scrap the longterm plans, so buy a copy as soon as it's out so they can keep paying Ralph.

Well we all would like a longer list as well but gamers and our self want the first edition released before much longer. I am very happy with the work the team has done both in the upgrading of the code and the scenarios with the time they have had.

David, my compliments. Two posts on your part and both avoided the "when" part quite well. I hope it is before summer. And since I know your from New England, your summer starts the same time as mine [;)]

Hi Scout1

Heheheh I have been training on how to avoid that evil when question.... but seriously I expect it will be out before Origins but I am promising anything, every time I do I get nailed for it. I may be a slow learner but I finally do learn.

Hi David,
Can't wait until this gets released. I guess once getting the product out, further 'add-ons' and 'upgrades' will be forthcoming?
What, if any, is the road map for further development once TOAW3 sees the light of day?

Hi Jeff

We are not saying anything for some time. We like to put all of our efforts into the first release and hear what the community has to say about it first before we make any final plans.

Federal Service is a good teacher of the 'when' question, and the circular answers for them. Over half the drivel spoken is so archane, you forget what the question was in the first place.
Looking forward to the product, 'when' it gets here.[:D]

Well, not entirely. Until Matrix's TOAW can do what ACOW can do using the BioEd, the two games will run side by side.

If some older toaw versions or open code and available for download may somebody please post a link to get it?

I found throught googling only a demo-kind of-giving 10-12 rounds from Korea 50-51.It was nice but there was a problem that AI was using pockets of territory left behind-small ones-to deploy reconstructed troops.Is this a bug or a "feature" of the demo?

I have ACOW still in cellophane, never opened or used, along with the Players Guide. I'm willing to sell for a decent offer including shipping
