Status: offline 		Ok We will have the fully version of SPWAW v2.3 available on July 10th. We have received a few nasty letters that it should be available now and that its fraud, a scam and other nice comments. The simple fact is this, This is a small company and we just do not have the bandwith for both the updates and full version at the same time. The same people upset now, would be upset to the fact that they could not get to the server. Might I also add no other sites really want to 300+ meg download on their server either. This is the best we can provide. I like to think we done pretty good with the free game and having the mags give out the game on their CDs. The EZGamer CD is nothing more then the same type of deal we worked out with the game mags. These other ways to get the game is to help the slow internet connections get the game. If you were waiting for the Mags and were going to buy it to get the game then this should be no different. Heck its just about the same price and our overseas fans can get it to. Let me say this one more time!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY A CD, we do not get anything if you get it from a Mag. or EZGamer. Its just one more way to get you the game. I would like to thank everyone who has written and for the kind words. It really makes it easy to deal with those few in every cloud. David

Now that's my 2 cents. Tankhead [This message has been edited by Tankhead (edited 06-30-2000).]

Status: offline 		I think ANY wargamer worth their salt, would find it mandatory to order the cd anyway, downloaded it or not, beforehand. The problem I have, is that I don't want to order the cd prematurely, as so many fixes are coming out, I'm liable to do something like get the 2.2 without the WWII cmapaign fix in 2.3. Now I'm really stuck. I'm a WWII campaigner, at least for starters, but now the 2.2 definitely isn't the one I want, but I have to wait till the 10th for 2.3. I don't think I want to wait till 3.0 to order the cd, but it may end up happening anyway (if only all problems were so small). Any rough estimate when 3.0 will be available guys?

Status: offline 		David: Forget those few bad emails that you get. All you guys at Matrix, and others, who have been contributing to this game in many ways are all true winners. You all have gone above and beyond the call of duty. I have never seen a forum fill up with so many posts in one day before in my life. You guys have generated real interest and enthusiasm again in wargames. Just wait until ALL your games have been released - these forums are going to be flying Keep up the excellent work everyone. We all know the commitment you have to your games and to gamers - and it shows. In return we will be committed to you. ------------------ A King Tiger can give you a definite edge...

I find it incredible that just about the best wargame i have played is free! There are always some people who comp[lain no matter what you do but IMO what is evident from this board is they are a tiny minority as the interest/enthusiasm for your efforts shines through Phil PS I cant wait for War in the Pacific

Status: offline 		SPWAW is a premium wargame. And it is free. And you are truly supporting it. I have been playing it nearly each day since version 1.0 is out. It's really addictive ! I can't understand how somebody can possibly complain ?!? For the last 15 years I have been playing computer games and the last 5 or so I am playing PC games I have NEVER seen a company making a top class game, giving it away for free and keeping up the good support for free after release. You are truly great guys at Matrixgames ! Don't let these disrespectful people bring you down ! Thanks !!

The fact that you have them now is a sign of SPWAW's growing audience. (except that you guys we're probably full up on fanatics a little earlier than most products.) Tomo

Status: offline 		I would not take these carpers and whiners too seriously. They are the ones who find fault with everything, and blow every little fault up into a major disaster. Often they have a perfect wargame in their heads. They are unable to make this a reality, so every game that does not exactly meet this un-real perfect game's criteria is hopelessly flawed. Then there are the swine who would make their reputations by breaking others'. Ignore them. troopie Pamwe Chete

Anyway, don't let the little turds bug you guys, it's a great game and it's free so it's just as great. Keep it up, Alex Gariepy "King Tiger? JS-III?

(Love the T-1 great invention) I am holding off until the next full version comes along, you guys are incredable. I say those of us who have the capability to DL fast and do not mind mailing out a CD to a fellow gamer (Cost about $1.00 - $1.25 to mail in the US) and $3.00 to Staffordshire England, Help them out In addition to those that whine and complain, ~~~~~ I believe the old arcade TANK vs TANK game is avaliable on the web as a free download (with no patches or updates) SPWAW has once again made the wife a computer widow..

Status: offline 		The support of you gentlemen has far superseded any negativity as far as we are concerned. Pleasing everyone is something that will not ever be achieved. I welcome criticism. I really do. All of us here at Matrix do. But there is a difference between a positive criticism and a "slam." But you learn to live with those too, don't you ? Thanks guys for the encouragement. You are a great bunch and it makes me personally very happy about having been a part in this great project.

You guys are doing everything just right, and in the process teaching a great lesson to some kind of people. And you are winning the wargamer's respect. And this is what will count in the end... Keep on going! Next, version 3.0! FAP

Thank again Matrix team for your attention to do better always and always... Keep the good work...different ideas are good for growing and evolution but some sort of criticism should be more well-behaved to be looked at ! So don't worry about it ! Sincerely yours Francesco
