Status: offline 		Cripes a' mighty! I really feel left out! I've been playing my games on a 13" monitor for almost 4 years now. Everything, EVERYTHING, runs and looks great. Maybe because I'm a long time wargamer of the board format and I'm apparently not as spoiled as some others in the hardware dept. BTW, Ryan "Crier", the shot at Pop Top vis a vis Railroad Tycoon 2 is where you lost me. RRT2 is one of my all time favorite games. My 13" monitor runs just fine in 1024x768 and RRT2 is quite possibly one of the best looking RTS's ever. So, kwicherbitchin' scrape up a few buks and get another monitor. You lament at not being able to play a 30 turn game in 30 min. tells me you're not an "old school" gamer such as myself and others on this forum. If the average game in SPW@W lasted only 30 min. I would be playing something else entirely. That's one of the beauties of turn based computer gaming. You don't have to play it all in one sitting.(IMHO) So, relax and enjoy. If that fails, I have one word for you. Valium. [ September 02, 2001: Message edited by: Chris Trog ]

Hey, what did you mean by that? If we can't have Charlton Heston for President, I'll take George W. anytime.

It is unacceptable. The standard of marksmanship is execrable. I'm ordering every thug, gangsta, punk, drunken sot, and hooligan in America to take two hours of range time a day until the fatal/non-fatal rate is brought up to 1-1. troopie

Get a grip. Its a vast and wonderful game. More zoom might be nice, but in the short term; PROZAC. 40mg should make that zoom craving
go far away.

Actually i was also liking the 640x480 view of SP, had trouble with the 800x600 at first, but now it's ok.
Maybe you should try SPWW2 i think it's still 640x480
Oh does anyone know if the viewing help in windows works over WaW ? You know, this sort of software magnifying glass that you can install in windows for people that have eye trouble ? Maybe it would do the thing ?

What kind of clickfest are you playing? Even with a couple of dozen units I couldn't see cutting turns down to 1 min each. Shades of wham, bam, thank you ... I would rather play a quality game than just spend 30 min playing something to be done with it. If you really want a fast game, there is always TA where you can flash rush and have the game over in 5 min.
thanks, John.

Harry, no silver is not the same as black. Being from Deutschland you might not be aware that the One World cabal intends to take over the US by invading it. They will use black Mercedes vehicles (among others). These are already prepositioned at US military bases. I am not making this up. This is the real view of some.

Status: offline 		Paul mentioned in an earlier thread about free RAM, but the 17" monitors are now $89 after rebate too. I've played it on a 14" for many years and now mostly only on a 15", so I'm contemplating a new purchase. Bigger is better, but it does not replace skill.

Status: offline 		Sorry Ryan , but graphix aren't needed for
hardcore wargaming !!! (hope you see it)
So it's a
G R E A T F R E E

G A M E
 with very detailed
2D G r a p h i c s !!! Think of the will and time the developers have invested. I believe the result is very good.
Most comercial games haven't a deep content and
contain lot of bugs. I don't care about "few" bugs in SPWAW ! SPWAW is much better and more advanced than SP1 ever was. kmd_dragov

Status: offline 		...Mr.Ryan...I am an old lover of SPO...
but you have to restore the right proportions ..
so if Matrix is a band of liars..what do you think about the others game's companies workers ?
I am very curious...
I never liked people abusing of Ptolemaic's theory in planet's revolution period..Copernicus had been very clear just a lot of centuries ago ! I like the better zoom level of SPO..with that feature SPO still overcomes SPWAW ...but MAtrix said we will have it in Combat leader..or should I think that you are not going to buy Combat Leader ? Sorry , you have no credits to me for your way of pointing your opinions!
