Hi Guys

Today in 2000 Matrix Games opened its doors. Its hard to think that five years have passed but it has. We just want to thank everyone that has supported us over these past few years and we hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have. We have a lot of nice surprises for you in 2005 so keep watching.

David Heath

Well done all at Matrix, and my sincere thanks for allowing me to enjoy some really terrific games.

Very much looking forward to the next five years, and some more great Matrix products.

5 years has gone by very fast....congrats to you David, Paul, Erik, Marc, and everyone else I'm forgetting to mention. Shaun, Ross, and EY who have come and gone already come to mind......

I'd still like to lend my skills as needs dictate as time goes by...

Congrats Matrix!

At first I really didn't think too much of Matrix, being more interested in games from other companies. But after Matrix & Panther came out with Highway to the Reich I became a convert. Congrats on 5 years!

Happy Birthday!

I remember the joy of having first found the Matrix site.

With any luck I will add more Matrix titles to my collection this year than all previous years combined!

That's a truly exciting thought for me...

Keep up the great work!

Wow, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATRIX! I'm very grateful that I had the privilege of working on some Matrix projects, and of being a forum moderator. I made some wonderful friends, including Mr. Heath, Bill Wilder and the many fans who make up the forum community.

Congratulations, and here's a toast to a great 2005

Lets make this 5 year thing special and bring out CL this year!!

Anyway well done Matrix.

CL is the game Im waiting on from you.

Sniper Ambush and any further SB games are also on my list.

Hopefully one or two of these appear this year otherwise I have another rather mundane year ahead.

Off topic,

Veldor did you get my email about the Fog of war idea?

Agreed. But only if its ready. Since it has been being worked on for so long I've a gut feeling it will end up automatically being the one title that all of Matrix is judged by. And what better a title since it will no doubt be a mega-hit!

Yes, within a year or two things might seem more as they use to be. No longer will it feel like we only have ONE tactical wargame, ONE strategic wargame, etc. etc. Just from Matrix alone we could see THREE WWII Strategic Games in the near future (GGWaW, CWiF, WaW). Combined with all the tactical choices soon to be out there. We might finally have the choices back that we had during the last century. And Matrix will be a large part of providing that.

Veldor did you get my email about the Fog of war idea?

Yes. But I'll say no more here. This is Matrix's party!

So, in the mean time, grab another drink

I've still been too lazy/busy to go and try to find it, but didn't I read an article a long time ago that said Matrix was founded with the idea of being run for 5 years? After that time it would be evaluated to see if it could be an ongoing concern. (My interpretation of my recollection!)

Since you say you have some nice surprises for us this year, I guess it's working out OK!

Congrats....

I seems a long time ago that I first discovered matrix games back in 2001!

Wish you well on all your current and future projects (Combar leader, Flashpoint Germany to name a few on my list

)
