Status: offline 		hi Wild Bill! Having fun! Way to much fun ever since I got involved with the Matrix group to many names to mention it as put something in my life that was missing all along . This is the best wargame ever and us old timer would know as of most of us started playing wargames on boards and a millions little card board counters on a sheet of plywood, haaa those were the days. One problem I have now, 24 hrs a day is not enough hours for a day it should be 36. OHH yeah and the poor widows!

Status: offline 		Excellent game WB! The best word to describe me is obsessed. I haven't stayed up this late so often since my college days. For me, the timing was right since I had gone the Starcraft, Tiberian Sun route for a while and was looking for a game with more substance to bring me back to my wargaming roots. It's too bad I can't locate my old wargaming buds to let them know about it. ------------------ "I would have much rather that he had given me one more division" - Rommel after receiving his field marshall baton

You don't need to ask what's the name of the game... Even the little additions, like being able to watch the battle field and to save the results, add to the playability. A big 'WOW' from me!

Status: offline 		Is fun the right word? The SPWAW experience transcends fun. It can be exilarating, exasperating, desperate, it can hurt, it can make you scream in terror and immediately thereafter in triumph, it can get the best out of you, but also the worst . Someone like me, 45, with more around my waistline than I would like to have, having spent a lifetime in business with not a lot of adventure, can live this rollercoaster of emotions safely in my study while getting the sensation of being in the middle of my favorite period in history, making it happen and learning more about it. Thank you, Matrix, for making this possible. When can I start giving you some of my money? No bunch of guys were ever so deserving. My wife knows about the slow stripiing trick too, Wild Bill. It's about the only thing that will drag me away. Sorry guys, but if you saw her you would understand! What I want to know is how you got yours to actually have a go at the game. That's what I call a result. Mine would not be seen dead playing around with it. But then she's seen what an animal I become in the middle of a game, when things are not going my way. She must think that one raving lunatic is enough in the family. ------------------ Fabs [This message has been edited by Fabs (edited November 14, 2000).]

Got to be the best game ever and it was FREE. Thankyou to ALL at Matrix. PS anybody remember Charles Upham from NZ? Winner of VC and Bar.

I've lost count of the number of AFV's halftracks, and now Amphibious assault vehicles i've lost. And dont talk to me about casualties. ok, yes i am having fun. This game is the ultimate wargame.

Status: offline 		WB, I must join in the chorus of folks that are having a BLAST in playing this game. My current addiction is your Utah To The Rhine campaign. What a RUSH! It is far and away the most challenging campaign I've ever played in all the SP games. All of you at Matrix have done a great job with this game! Thanks again! Now, can you PLEASE do something about the Carpel Tunnel bug that is just killing me??!?! WW2'er [This message has been edited by WW2'er (edited November 15, 2000).]

Status: offline 		Thanks guys. I guess EWB or DWB (Devious) would work fine Just trying to keep you on your toes..tiptoes, that is! WW2'er, man, I am sorry to hear that about CTS. You think that is what it really is? I hope not. I guess if anyone should have it, it is me. But then I've got a little of everything else, so maybe I'm being cut some slack. These situations you describe, guys, I though they only happened to me. I find comfort, small though it may be, to know I am not the only one in these sudden dilemmas, which quickly can become disasters. It is addictive. I am hooked. But I'm having fun! And campaigns, this Watchword Freedom Campaign has me buggy. I keep replaying it. I'm on my fourth try now. Even when you win, you want to go back and do better, or just simply figure out how you did it! It is definitely on a par with Utah to the Rhine!

Status: offline 		Ruxius, A woman understanding our love for wargames is like us understanding her love for shoes. The good thing about wargaming is that they know where we are at least. Yes, I'm blessed in both lives and with both loves, but of course, like you, I try to keep them in the right order. SPWAW will never snuggle up to me on a cold night to keep me warm It sounds to me like you have quite a good lady standing behind. Be glad she loves you enough to miss you. It's nice to be missed sometimes. Wild Bill ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games
