Status: offline 		I read in one of these messages that there would be a version of SPw@W on Octobers CD. I have just been to the newsagent and Octobers Issue is on the shelf but there is no mention of it, also wasn't there supposed to be a review of a SPW@W scenario??. My question is: is the PC Gamer sold in the UK different to the US issue??if so how can I get a copy here in the UK?

*Very* different . We'll probably see hell freeze over before PCG UK puts a 400 meg strategy game on it's cover cd .

Oh dear, there's gonna be a lot of disappointed guys this side of the Atlantic then.....even a twelve hour downlaod for may ppl in UK and Europe is a nightmare when you are payign for it and tying up your phone line just to get the upgrade. I can help a few of you as I am downloading now and have a CD copier. Realistically we need some sort of pyramid method where eahc person who can easily get it will pass it on to a few others who in turn will pass it on to others....

Status: offline 		Good day Didactylos. I think the idea of a peer-to-peer distribution net for the bandwidth impaired has merit. I'm currently downloading the full version (on a 56k modem) and am willing to burn & send a FEW copies (20 or so)for $0.00, ideally to individuals who intend to pass the game on. I wish I could do more, but I'm in a small town (<1500 people) in a remote area (nearest city - 480 km) dominated by a religious sect (unnamed) with a severe anti-technology bent (many do not even have TVs or telephones). I just bought up ALL the CD-R material to be found in town & after I take out the copies promised to friends (you'll get your copies guys), I'm left with about 20 disks. my DL manager, Net Vampire, says it will be another 48 hours before I'll have the beast. Please, do not post requests to this forum!!!! email me at: nwbattalion@icqmail.com or use the mail link at my site at: http://dreadnaught.home.icq.com/ I'll post a note here (probably in 5 minutes, judging from the demand) when I've got all the requests I can fill & I'll e-mail a note the few I can supply. all others, sorry in advance, but as stated, my resources are pitifully limited. Again,Please, do not post requests to this forum!!!! ------------------ Robert (Bonzo) Lindsay, Coordinator 28th (North-west) Battalion Headquarters http://dreadnaught.home.icq.com nwbattalion@icqmail.com

Status: offline 		William Trotter from PC Gamer has three pages in the current issue devoted to two battles he played with SPWAW version 3.0: Cisterna and Corrigedor. They are very nicely written and were an excellent read. Wild Bill was also quoted in the magazine (way to go WB) Personally, Trotter is one of the main reasons why I buy and read PC Gamer. Maybe a kind email to him, will let him know how much we appreciate the work he has done on behalf of wargamers. He can be reached at: William R.
