Gary, that new Command Naval Combat game from Matrix uses a spherical map. It's like playing a wargame on Google Earth. Cheers, Neilster

I was looking at the game on a youtube video. It looks kind of like Harpoon a little bit. I couldn't really get a feel for the game just seeing the video though. Has Matrix considered maybe doing a demo for the game. I'd like to try it out but I'm a little reluctant to pay full price for it just to see what it is like and see if I will like it or not. I've done that a few too many times--just bought a game because I wanted to see if it would be fun or not.

You'll be able to find threads where this has been argued out endlessly. There's a pretty strong argument that watching "Let's play" videos is a better way to get a feel for their games.

I wouldn't have bought BftB without a demo. By the way, would there be any chance for a physical edition of the BftB update together with printed colour manuals and a full-sized box?

Check page 6 of this old thread, we discus wall mounting a huge game map: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1248772 Jim

quote: ORIGINAL: Iain McNeil The map weighs over 3kg - that's how much paper is in it. The same as the 3 hard backed books! What caliper is the paper, such an expensive and heavy map could easily tear if the caliper is too light? Here's a PDF chart: http://www.casepaper.com/resources/calculators/paper-thickness-caliper/ Jim

Cheers, Neilster That's true. I bought XCOM Enemy Unknown just from watching a series of "Let's Play" videos on it. Had a lot of fun with it. I'll check out youtube for some vids on the CMNAO.
