Computer Gaming World - September 2003 issue

Congrats

Last man without a Korsun Lunch box is a rotten egg!
Or for Mark when wanting to tip a German brew:
Congrats to SSG, the Matrix KP team and all the playtesters!

Congrats SSG and Matrix...this time around I am hoping the game gets the recognition and sales it truly deserves.
I've already ordered my KP mug!

I subscribed to CGW for 20 years and they always had the policy of not reviewing games until they were released to the public. I did finally stop subscribing last year; I guess they changed the policy.
Anyway, Congratulations Matrix & SSG, I hope you have a hit on your hands with this one. Since I've purchased every wargame SSG has made, I expect I'll order it once it's released (and I read all the good things about it).
Congrats

Congratulations! I'm glad to see that a game without fancy 3d graphics and without gallons of blood on the screen can be a real winner. Keep up the good work!
Also, I'm sad that Matrix Games has no partners in Hungary, so I don't have any chance of getting my piece until some really nice person
tells me a good virtual shop in Europe (where I can maybe order one
).

Was there ever any doubt?
It's an all too rare occurence in the gaming industry today when a game lives up to its hype and proves worth the wait.
Looks like KP could very well be one of those gems. Good show, SSG and Matrix!

I really hope KP accrues all the accolades TAO should've had years ago. I have no clue what happened there, but I shared SSG's puzzlement over the cool reception of TAO when released.
If KP is a huge success, as it undoubtedly deserves, it will go a long way toward making up for the earlier "mistake".

THE BLOOD!!

Sorry, I forgot that players can cause heavy damage to themselves while taking heavy/unexpected casualities in wargames. So there is a possibility for blood getting on the screen.

CGW will be the the to tell you they only review finished games. If it's finished, where is it?

several forum members have reported receiving their copies already. Perhaps the courier in your area has been delayed?
Cheers Chris

This is a possibility.
My "courier" is an idiot who can't tell the difference between my house and the neighbor's house 6 miles down the road.
My neighbor could be playing it now.
