Matrix Games Forums

No I haven't. Where do I see it? Hopefully Neilster follows with a link to a website that doesn't ask for my credit card......

It was available for free download in updated versions until Matrix took over development. It was a nearly complete and working Computer WiF but had no AI.

I think it is now available for download at the Yahoo Wifdiscussion.

You'll have to register to get it. It's excellent IMHO and apparently MWiF will be based on it. There are also some mega experienced Wiffers on their discussion and the topics are often pushing the boundaries of the board game.

This link gives you a look at a very early version.

Many things might change between now and the release of MWiF. Just because there was no minimap in one version doesn't mean that it won't be there in the final version.

Thanks for the links Neilster. Hopefully we are not locked into all the decisions of CWIF before Matrix took over. Hopefully we can start with a "clean sheet of paper". By the way, I have appended a disclaimer to my posts, please let me know what you think about it. (note: this is both a desire and my personal opinion and in no way reflects Matrix policy, ADG policy, or in any way the aspirations of John Kerry to be your next president).

CWiF Version 0.7.66 (Debug)

CWiF uses a full scale map of North and South America. There is no minimap.

X & Y map cordinates are in brackets.

(73, 313) Norfolk, VA
(71, 266) San Francisco, CA

47 hexes or 4,700 kilometers or 2,920 miles.

(72, 294) Tulsa, OK (where I live)
(73, 291) Oklahoma City, OK (which I have driven to several hundred times)

3 hexes or 300 kilometers or aprox. 186 miles (just about right for hexside to hexside)

Anyone with a copy of CWiF want to say I'm wrong?

Ps: Actual distance on Turner turnpike (I-44 highway) signs is 90 miles if your headed to Oklahoma City. 101 miles if your headed to Tulsa (I've never found out why there is a diference). The Turner turnpike starts outside the city limits of both citys.

I have not posted a single rumor on these forums. I prefer to post only facts.

You are correct good sir! And to the person who didn't want to move their units from one side of the States to the other, there is always the strategic movement phase! [;)] Otherwise, it's a long walk!
