Matrix Games Forums

I've been 'flirting' with WitE2 for a few months now and have played all the smaller scenarios thorugh multiple times from both sides using different settings, in order to get a feel for this immense game.

I have also watched all 67 episodes of First Contact Gamer's thjoroughly excellent YouTube playthrough of the Stalingrad to Berlin campaign (where has he gone by the way? Does anyone know?).

Whilst I appreciate that the essence of the game is the GC, I don't feel up to the task of taking this or the two slightly smaller campiagns on yet.

So, my questions is this: are there any plans to develop more of the smaller scenarios that enable novice players to learn the mechanics of the game without having to take on huge amounts of units with all the complexity and involvement that the campaigns entail?

Yes, it was mentioned pre-release that more scenarios would be available later.

This are most likely to be partial sections of the map, but feasibly quite large, so chance to explore particular phases/sectors and also a nice learning ladder for those not wanting to get into the 200+ turn grand campaign

Thanks, good to hear.

Some of the scenarios are good for learning particularly key elements of the gameplay such as the encirclement/pocket process, and it would be good to see some more smaller scenarios that enable the player to learn about other core (and complex) concepts such as logistics, the air war, C2, unit building, etc.

The manual is of course the ultimate learning tool but it makes War and Peace look like a short story, and I find it easier to learn through gameplay and use the manual as a detailed reference tool for particular points.

Yes, we plan on putting out expansions with additional scenarios and campaigns. We're working on many now, and several of them have been in early testing for the past month or so. We aren't yet at liberty to give out additional details. In the near future we expect to be recruiting additional testers interested in testing these new scenarios. If you are interested, keep an eye out on this forum for an announcement about this.

Please, make an Afrika Korps campaign 1941-43.

Wilco, Joel. Thanks for the good news.

Not sure if you want play testers of my limited capabilities, but happy to help, if it's hands on deck you need.

Could you possibly do the Fall Blau -scenario for the Axis invasion of Caucasus?

Or even an axis campaign which starts from Fall Blau?

Fall Blau would be the best!
