I would like to know if there will be a demo release. I would like to see how this game runs before I purchase it. It looks to me to be like another from of Axis & Allies, albeit on a more detailed scale.

Its so far beyond simple Axis & Allies. I don't know whether Matrix is going to committ to a demo, but regardless the game is more than worth the time & money. I believe it will be one of the definitive/popular WWII wargames we've seen in the last 10 years.

Have you previewed A World at War then? [ www.aworldatwar.com ]

Matrix games will be publishing that in the near future. Maurice should know about it.

I believe A World at War will be the defnitive war game with AI. Much more detail than GGWAW and much less over detailed in Heart of Iron.

So only a few more days/weeks until GGWAW comes out. I will get it. I need a new WW2 game. Strategic Command 2 only looks like a prettier version of the original. HOI2 is getting bad reviews with the AI.

Oh contraire........the editor alone will give this one the dynamics of a strategic TOAW.

I have Norm's original version, and even with this first cut, almost any WW2 war scenario can be made, a touch lacking on the naval aspects. I'm expecting the same(maybe more) flexibility with SC2 editor, albeit at the strategic scale.
