RE: THE THREAD!!!
Hey guys, I'm looking for feedback on a few games I'm considering for my prize as the Matrix Basic League Champion. Have any of you played:
1. Distant Worlds - Universe
2. Modern Air/Naval Operations (particularly how it might compare to Harpoon Ultimate Edition)
3. The new War in the West
I appreciate anything that you guys can chime in on. I think I'd really like any of these.
I'm also now accepting praise for my Cyber Football prowess. [:D] Maybe next year some of my Thread Brothers will not be afraid to try to challenge me in the Matrix Basic league. [:'(]

RE: THE THREAD!!!
First, you need to come to the big leagues first before bragging... Those of us in the Pro-League scoff at your so-called prowess.
Second, I have played Distant Worlds, it was OK, but nothing like WitP:AE
Third, I signed up to playtest WitW, but couldn't get into it. It just didn't flow for me. Others love it. Just wasn't for me.
Fourth, MA/MNOps, I haven't done anything with it.

RE: THE THREAD!!!
Thanks, Mike. I know Distant Worlds is nothing like AE, and that's part of the reason I'm leaning in that direction. The new Universe release includes all of the versions to date. After reading the product pages, M A/N Ops is running in second place, with WitW in third. I can still be easily swayed, though. [:D]

Amen, THREAD brother! Until USS Mike can put on 'the big boy' pants of the Pro-League, I'll give him this: [:D]

You don't have time for any of those games, yo. What with the new job and all, I almost consider it my duty to warn you off of any of these time-sucks. You know-as a friend.
I recommend you order War in the West for me and let me play it until the latter patches come out. By then all the gameplay kinks will have been worked out and all will be smooth. Then I'll give you back your game. I reckon the whole thing will be settled out by sometime in 2017-2018.

Hello Guys.
I really hate pre-christmas time.
We have to go here, visit this one and this one, we have to buy this, we have to prepare.....uarg.
Every year the same.
Hi Odin!
Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hope the actual holiday itself (not the lead in) is a wonderful one.

I'll take that medal, CB, because along with it comes a free Matrix game. My 4th in the last 5 years. [:'(]
Ok, so I haven't actually played any of those prize games yet, but one day I will have the time to enjoy them! [:D]
Way back when, in 2006, I won the football league and my prize was WitP. I've bought one game in the last 8 years since winning it, and that was AE on it's release day. [8D]

Thank you and merry christmas to you!
December 24 is here and i am in the office till midday...and then it begins.
When I think of what I need to do anything today I could shoot me.
Thats not christmas, this is madness. One thing is crystal clear: 25 and 26 December, I'll just lie around and watch TV!
