Why no demo?

(I rarely if ever see Matrix Games with demos.)

I'm really interested in buying ToW and just stumbled on it. I've been looking for a game like this since I got tired of SC (SC2 didn't do it for me).

I'm also extremely conservative and leery of buying new games that I can't at least get a feel for before I play. Right now I'm waiting on the slew of reviews I expect to be released on this game before I'll really consider buying it, but if Matrix Games would let me give the game a try with a Demo I'd be much more likely to buy it sooner.

Hi David,
please pardon me for asking stupid questions, but I do not know what you mean. [&:] (I am not a native English speaker). Do you want me to change my reply to Arsan? (It was only a joke, we know us from another forum.) Or do you referring to the link in my signature?

Regards,
dooya

Many thanks for letting me know. Actually, the "No quote..." line is in my signature for so long (in other forums), that I did not even think about that David could refer to it. [:(] Of course I will change it.

I've been at *shhhh* the other place *shhh* as well, but there wasn't much to do lately. And yes, I will have to change my signature and all because I wanted say hello to you. Guess who to blame? [:@]

We are terribly sorry guys.
Some important issues (like hotfix) keeps us out of the track.

Without trying the mechanics, I really can't weigh in with the benefits of 7 years of SC development, much of this ground has already been covered.

Well, SC is more polished at this point in time... but this game has a much different feel than SC, less random research, ability to attack from more than one hex, all countries playable make it rather appealing even after 1000 sc games :D

No doubt I can tell it is a different approach to the European theater, but it seems lacking in the air-naval model.  There are plenty of custom campaigns from SC basis, much like TOAW since it has a similar editor.  Not to mention SC's excellent PT and Nupremal & Big Als world campaigns, but I do see potential here, I'm just wondering if its worthy of the effort.  I don't know how much dedication these wasteland guys have as I'm well aware of Hubert Cater's.
