Announcement

Post by Wild Bill »

At least some of you will be interested in knowing that the newest Mega Campaign is very close to publication.

Watch for a promo page on the Matrix site announcing the Mega Campaign and its theme.

I will say that this one is one you definitely don't want to miss. Literally thousands of man hours from almost 30 team members have produced a top of the line product. These guys have given their all to make this the best Mega Campaign you've ever seen!

While I can't say a lot at this point, I will say that this Mega-Campaign involves Western Europe and will have a different approach.

You will have four choices when you start the game. These choices are based on units inside the main unit. You can play completely through one thread, beginning to end. You can then start over, choose a new unit and play it again without repeating a single battle.

There are not as many alternate scenarios in this one, as most of those are never played anyway. Even so, a total of 130 scenarios, hundreds of articles and pictures will give you many, many hours of playing time.

The battles are balanced and fast moving. Rarely (unless you so choose) will you be faced with a long hard fight that takes days to complete.

Scenarios vary in size from quite small to huge and often you'll have the choice as to which you prefer.

Every type of situation is included, almost all of them based on historical battles. There are a few hypothetical ones, but by and large you will get the feel of what this sterling unit faced as it fought across Western Europe until V-E Day.

So get ready. Its very close. Get ready for some hard fighting.

That's gotta be a typo... 1030 scenarios!!?!?!

This might be enough to tide me over till CL comes out...

I think his finger slipped. It's closer to 130. That amount was plenty enough to test. I seriously doubt the team could have survived 10x more work :eek: . I've got 2 months worth of Honey-dos piled up as it is, as do most of the other guys. :D

That's probably a very good thing! I love SPWAW and my compulsive nature will make me play each of those scenarios through..... (Still haven't played out the first three MC's - doubt I will anytime soon. Need to find a way to get rid of work, family, relationships and personal hygiene so I will have more time to play. Hmmmm.....)

Really excited about this - thanks to everyone for all the work that went into it!

130 scenarios is a more believeable yet still extraordinary number!
Can't wait!
