Status: offline 		Uh 9 But posting in the Matrix web site in the SPWaw forum might not be the best place to gage the number of players. Go start a AOL chat room and let us know how many people enter not wearing leather and carrying a whip or sheep under one arm. (SPWaW does sound kind of kinky)The important question for this location would be how many want to go online and kick some butt since the full power of this game is lost if not played against another human. ------------------ I'm not retreating, I'm attacking in a differant direction!

Status: offline 		I'm not privy to the figures. I have heard that downloads alone have exceeded 60,000. That figure was before 4.0. In addition, the number of people who got it and play it through PC Gamer or Computer Gaming World is only a guess. So what would your guess, 80,000+ who have given it a try? That sounds like a lot to me WB ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games

Status: offline 		Allright, 60000 sounds like a big number, but how many of those were started and aborted later for one reason or another? How many of those were people downloading it again, for whatever reason? And how many people downloaded it, but don't play it anymore? I am going to guess that we should probably assume more like 30000 play the game. Not that anyone should be disappointed by that number, its still pretty damn impressive for an engine older than the OS running it.

I have been a war gamer for many years, but I have never enjoyed the experience more than now playing SPWAW and enjoying the fellowship of this group. All you grognards keep your heads down!

Status: offline 		Ok, I am #80027. But who cares, I'll try to be your #1 red nightmare on PBEM. I am wondering how many of us are non-military people like me. I guess the game is hard to figure what to use on what, if you're not an army officer. Probably a typical gamer would get confused of all those equipement and their usage.

Status: offline 		No.13 reporting in... I dont think you dont need to be officer or any kind of military person to know how to fight battles in WAW. I am non-military person (never been in army) and I know more about rifles, tanks, aircraft AND military tactics (modern and WWII) than my friends that have gone through military training...(some are officers) Officer or no officer. Only things that you need is good knowledge about history and some learning... Thats IMHO of course - But I think this is quite valid fact
