So, where do I get hold of the demo he mentions in the review? I can't find it on the Matrix or Slytherine websites.

Cheers,
Jim

What he meant in the review must have been an old pre-release demo we sent out to press ppl and publishers. There is no public demo planned.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the answer about the demo. I thought it was unusual for Matrix to release one. Still, I'm going to buy the game anyway. Based on past experience with Matrix and Bill Trotter's review, it will be worth the money. That's good enough for me.

Regards,
Jim

Status: offline 		Congratulations on the outstanding review guys. They don't get any bigger in the wargame arena than Mr. Trotter (I used to buy PC Gamer just to read his stuff. His review of Panzer General II is what got me into this hobby).

Well deserved.

Status: offline 		I can see why some people think that demos of wargames are not a good thing because the complexity might put off the potential buying.  But CEAW is about as beer and pretzels as you can get.  You really have to be below level intelligence to not "get" this game.  I remember when Strategic Command first came out, I tried the demo and it was so simple and straightforward I loved it and bought it right away.

Status: offline 		I always loved Trotters reviews I use to read them in PC Gamer in the 90's he was always honest with his reviews and I can't think of any game he reviewed and recommended and I bought that I didn't enjoy.

Status: offline 		I always thought infantry equipment should be researched. For instance Panzerfaust, MP-44 and all the other weapons that were designed and researched during the war. Hearts of Iron was always the best with research love that game even if you didn't research individual weapons researching Infantry to new models improved their weapons.
