Hi,

Just wanted to be the first idiot to ask this question [:D]

Yup, and where the heck are the screenshots ??? - vapourware ! - all Matrix ever does is announcing new games [:D]

Ok - now that the traditional initial opening posts are covered : "adding espionage, code-breaking, variable political events, unit experience and neutral country diplomacy." Looks like a welcome addition to the original WWII game, even if you don't care about the "Patton option" of taking on the Russians or the Cold War.

Screenshots can, like allways, be found on the respective page in the "Games" section [;)]

Note, they do not resemble the latest and greatest beta version of the game, for what reason ever.

Also, the full campaigns actually start in the Summer of 1939, not 1940. As for release date, sometime within three months would be very safe to say.

Do you have anybody lined up for music?

If you're interested, you should e-mail Dave (davidh@matrixgames.com) to be added to our list of sound/music folks for consideration for future titles.

I've emailed David a few times before, so I'd assume I'm on the list?

[Erik Rutins]

Jeff,

I'll ask Dave.

Any chance of an alternate history scenario involving a victorious Germany and
Japan battling it out for total world domination? There was a board game that came out many years ago, called Red Sun Black Cross that explored this topic. The world was divided beteween the two and the battle began. There can on be only one!

[Joel Billings]

This could be done by a modder.

Hmmm. I was thinking of purchasing GGWAW....should I wait for this new promising-looking title instead? [&:]

[Joel Billings]

Depends on how anxious you are to get into WaW/AWD and how much money you have. WaW is a somewhat simpler game than AWD and is a nice place to start to learn the basic system, and most of what you learn will come in very handy in AWD. We think WaW is a great game by itself. Of course, after spending another 6+ months on AWD, we think it is even better than WaW. If your budget is limited and you can wait, you might want to wait until AWD. If you're ready to play WaW now and aren't sure you want to play the slightly more complex/realistic AWD, then you might want to go ahead and buy WaW now.

Now this is my own opinion and does not reflect Matrix's opinion (I don't know what their opinion is although I'm sure we'd both be happy if you bought both). [:)]

cant wait to have a copy of this game, it looks so promising!!
what a pity that we have to wait for three months until the game release ...
god knows when the game will reach the shelves in Hong Kong ... (of course i can choose digital download instead ... but i like to buy the box version, it just feels better ...)

I didn't say 3 months, I said within 3 months. We hope it will be much sooner.

[a511]

oh thats great news!! but i still need to consider the time for the game to ship to HK (for WAW, only available for sale in HK in mid-May05!!)
thx for the clarification!

Is the AI going to be improved?

[Forwarn45]

Will it be released in stores in a boxed version like WAW with a printed rulebook, etc. - or will it just be available for order online like some of the other matrix games?
