Should I wait for AE?

I'd order WITP as a hard copy too. I've had several times (like a trashed computer) where I was very glad that I did.

You can always just burn the DL copy to a disc yourself.

I'd just assumed that their were copyright safeguards built in. [X(][8|]

That's the serial number. I have a whole slew of Matrix games, all of them burned to CD's by me, on my computer.

Thanks , that's good to know. Of course I'll not lose my number, it's on the disc they shipped me. Now if I write it down somewhere, nah, I'll never lose that! [:D]

[Terminus]

Of course not... Why would you?[:D][:D]

been there and done that......Its just more than what I want a game on the pacific to be. It is notable that all the micromanagement makes the game work for most but not for me.
Against the AI those little things you mention are not that big of a deal but an average PBEM player could make mincemeat of the likes of me.
The problem with the "MORE DETAIL" type of player is they will never be enough even if it get to 1 man, 1 tank, 1 truck, 1 gun, 1 bullet, etc.
I think that if they ever get the kinks worked out of SaS I might give it a try. I love Matrix games and will keep supporting them but due to the economy I can no longer buy games that there is little chance I will play as I have done in the past.

To me this is a small but important point. I know we all kid about the time factor but it is a real thing. For me it would take longer to play the game than it did to fight the war. I guess I don't mind if the game has many layers but I don't want to have to deal with them.
Even though I am retired, live alone and spend time volunteering I just don't see me being able to spend the time it would take to play this game or AE for that matter. I have a life to live and a game taking the time that this one does is just not worth it to me. So for different reasons I think I agree with Charles.

I went and looked at the AE manual preview. The pictures of the task force information screen gave me warm fuzzy feelings of my UV days and I couldn't resist. I'm doing the digital download option as I write--now let's see if I can figure out the proper patch sequence. [8D]

Welcome to the club, BAR. Yes, v1.806 is the latest, just make sure you apply the v1.804 Comprehensive before you apply v1.806.

Got it. I'm patch to 1.806 and I think I'll go cut my teetch on the Coral Sea scenario. Man, I've replayed that battle in a lot of PTO games down through the years.

I have not ordered or played WitP yet, but a friend at Monstercon (CSW Expo 2009) in Tempe has roped me into the enterprise.  He's waiting for the AE.  Is there an advantage (discount?) to buying WitP and AE as a single package?  What is the installation sequence - including patches - for the entire kit?  Thanks.
