Have you checked out their other games since buying DW?

Have you come across some interesting games you'd never heard of before?

DW has a grog wargame feel to it that I'm sure some of you have never experienced before....thats why it plays so different to other 4x games. Hopefully you support Codeforce in any expansion and maybe you might end up with a new hobby PC wargaming....a fair few wargamers who frequent this forum have bought DW a game not normally something they would buy....they really like it aswell by all accounts....lets hope it works both ways.

I've checked the other games they have before this, but my interest in 'grand scale wargaming' lie mostly in the future. I find 'past wars' a little bit boring myself, and even though they did have space related large scale games, they didn't seem big enough for me :D And I love the feel of finding new, exploring the unknown and so on.. thus this game is something I greatly enjoy

Glad your a happy customer...Matrix do support their games very well indeed....they've never had a big company feel who are distant from their customers....being here is like a little family....another thing you will notice, flame wars don't happen that often....we are a very good bunch of lads and girls here.

Take Arsenal of Democracy the excellent remake of HOI2, and sells for only 20$.

Very happy with the results, although none of the other Matrix games I see interest me either.

Would purchase other games from Codeforce/Matrix again for sure though if one comes out that looks like my cuppa tea

Status: offline 		I was new to Matrix Games when I bought Armada 2526, now Distant Worlds. I have mostly prefered turn-based space 4X games and Civilization 4. I Have tried other pausable real-time space 4X before. Distant Worlds seems to be very well done.

These Matrix games, hexagon-based, turn-based, World War 2, strategy games are still a niche market and probably always will be. They appear to be very well thought out and full of strategy from what I've looked at. I think that close to all, 4X, space strategy gamers will not be very interested in these WW2 games. That's my opinion, of course.
I enjoyed the original Panzer General and I like WW2 documentary shows in general. These hexagon-based, card-unit games though do not hold my interest. Theses Matrix Games titles seem good for the style of game they are though.

Status: offline 		I'm new. Became a customer because of DW. I also bought War in the Pacific:AE after much debating with myself about it having almost too much detail. But I enjoy learning about WWII. I think I may have found a new genre to like. I have my eye on Harpoon Commander Edition, World in Flames (sounds like that might be awhile though ) Armada 2526 and maybe maybe maybe Operational Art of War III.
