I suppose a reference booklet would be possible... if people don't mind have a font size of 2/3 of a point...[:D]

Would be really cool if they had the standard version, and then a JFB and AFB version. Even if I had to wait 4-8 weeks for production of my 'version' (so that Matrix doesn't have inventory risk) I'd be happy. Each version could come packaged with different theme and any 'extras' (like the propaganda poster idea) could be from that side of the war.

That would make me happy and I'd easily pay over $100 for such a package.

Bonus for Matrix - TRUE collectors would buy 2 copies of the game. [:D]

EDIT: Maybe a random pewter/lead miniature of some capital ship from each side? (BBs or CVs)

You'd also pay extra for the box it would come in... Wouldn't fit in a standard DVD case, that one...[:D]

YES! A nice collector's TIN!!!

If Trent Reznor can get $300 for a CD, surly Matrix can make some coin on a limited run.

Even being a lifelong Cornhusker fan in Connecticut I know what you "mean".

Forgive me, but am I missing something? From what I can see/read/infer the graphics mode is essentially unchanged. Does this mean that the map will still be warped if we try to play on widescreen monitors in native mode? Also, any possibility that you can "zoom" on the map, similar to the way you can in TOAW? (I love WITP, but these are my two biggest frustrations with it. I feel like I'm playing "War In Russia" again sometimes.)

Thanks,

I like the Theme idea for each side. Good idea!

Yep if I recall correctly I bought WITP when it cost like 90-100 USD? Before the sale they had. So id be willing to spend 200 USD on a CE assuming its warrented. Anyway I remember thinking, hmm this game has been around for years! why so expensive, once I got the game I understood why [:D]

Hehe, there's the good news for us Europeans : the Euro is strong, so it comparatively costs us less to buy something in USD.[8D]
 
 
 
I wonder if the difference would cover the shipping dues...[:(]
