Everytime I try to download SPWAW I'm told its a bout a 48 hour download . Since I don't have the time to download for that long how can I get this game ? I have all the other SPsand I WANT THIS ONE !!! I remember something being said about SPWAW being included in a computer game mag's CD ..is that still on tap if so which one(s) and when ? Please help !!! Thanks

You most be out side of north amarica are you. I have only a 32.6 connection and it took me 18 hours.

The game will be out in gameing mags next month. Cant remember witch ones.

Look for the complete game of SP:WAW in next month's issue of PC Gamer magazine (August issue). It should hit the newstands between the 8th and 10th of July.

A King Tiger can give you a definite edge...

I'm in Texas with a 56k modem (my ISP actually uses the full amount), and I loaded the next to the largest version and it took about 30 hours.

Use GetRight or one of the other programs that can pull a little bit down each night when you are sleeping. I pulled it down over a 28K modem (my ISDN is down)...

send me your mailing address ~~if you reimburse postage I will gladly put SPWAW on a cd for you (no charge, after all it is a free download) I also have over a thousand senarios for the following SP1, SPII, and SPIII ( these are downloads collected over the last couple years ) if interested i would gladly send these also

Second the recommendation of GetRight or Go!Zilla. I got my copy over 2 nights using GetRight. It even has an oh-so-handy redial feature so when my ISP disconnected every 4 hours (time limit) it dialed back up and resumed d/ling. Handy doggone product, esp. for free!

Here are some unannounced information. Matrix Games has signed a deal with EzGamer to alow them to add SPWAW in full form ( not a demo version ) to any of there demo CD's. Gamers can now order a CD with any demo with want and a full copy of SPWAW. We are not receving any money from this. The cost for the CD $7.00 (Plus $3.00 US $8.00 Overseas for shipping) This what we mean when we say giving the gamers what they want. You should be able to place orders on Friday.

Initially I was getting my brother to download the full version from his work.

However, the temptation was too much and I downloaded the smaller version over a weekend (literally the weekend). It was well worth it...just takes up too much of my time playing it!

I say let rip.

General, where did you find all those scenarios? That is a nice collection!...WB

Thanks to all for the suggestions and ideas, but General YOUR THE MAN !!! Not only will I gladly reimburse you, but I'll come wash and wax your Tiger tank if you want !! I was going to say spit shine your boots with my tounge, but that sounded kinky. I'll gladly take the scenarios too . I be happy to reimburse you the cost of the CDs too. I E-mailed you my mailing info. This goes to prove that war gamers are the best folks on the planet ( even if we do play at blowing it up ) And the folks in the SP family are the best of all. Once again Thanks

Yours and 10 others CD's went out in the mail about two hours ago I included the Full CD Version SPWAW ready to play ( V 1.0 ) I also included on a seperate CD the Senarios for SPI, SPII, SPIII, and SPWAW (around 1000 total)and all the known patches to include the 1N patch from Novastar for SPI

** Anticipating the patch

General, my compliments!

Are you from the south ?

That is a joke guys! Please, no one take offense.

But seriously, it is a courtesy rarely seen in the world today. You have my personal thanks for this expense in time and money.

You're my kind of guy!...WB
