Operation Torch Announced and recruiting Testers!

Gary Grigsby’s War in the West 1943-45 is the most ambitious and detailed computer wargame on the Western Front of World War II ever made. Starting with the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings you all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to re-fight the Western Front according to your plan.

Yes, scenarios are playable from either side.

This product will have a price (i.e. not free).

As for testing, I expect that new testers will be added to the group in about 1-2 weeks from now.

Really interested in the air campaigns, both from an offensive and defensive point of view.

Will it feature/model night fighting, flak and radar defenses?

Night fighting is already modeled. There are some thoughts to make it a bit more detailed.

is it worth new players like myself who have just got it to sign up for the beta to help out or do you already have enough, i test for a hobby so spend most days 8 to 10 hours a day testing some game or other, so not only have the spare time and qualifications for it with 30 years plus of IT work, but also 4 or 5 spare pc's with different hardware and o/s on them just for testing games, and a dedicated room (summer house with server, heating, fridge and 150mb cable connection)

I don't know all the internals, but usually Matrix adds testers in several runs. Usually only some limited amount are staying for the long term, so you always have a chance to get an access. I have a feeling that more testers could be required soon as release date is getting closer.

Looking forward to this, as the Germans can win for once (at least in The 4th Supreme Command). Makes the game more interesting.

Hopefully it is released soon.

"The 4th Supreme Command (3 July 1943 - 4 Aug 1945 - 109 turns) is a hypothetical Grand Campaign that assumes Hitler had been assassinated in March 1943, and that the Axis armies were in a better situation in the summer of 1943."


Was there a real attempt at Hitler's life in March '43?

Absolutely - bomb hidden in a bottle Cointreau was placed in Hitler's aircraft but failed to explode.
