Status: offline 		I'm 49, a true blue Aussie and I wish I had the energy that Bill has he continues to amaze me. I've been playing simulation and strategy games for awhile before a mate introduced me to SP1 and then I think I have played everything thats come out since. Getting involved in Leadeaters then TGN I have met and played against a lot of great wargamers. And look forward to playing another couple of decades to come. ;)

Status: offline 		Hi, I'm 32, italian, married, and like Antonius I started making rules to play with my Airfix and Atlantic WWII soldiers when I was a kid.. Next step the board strategical games (classic exagonal map). The first was 'Sicily Invasion, the beginning of the end" Finally PC games, the last played: Shogun total war, Sudden Strike, Jagged Alliance (all the serie), X-com ones, Panzer General, People's general, Sid Maier's Gettysbourg and SPWAW obviously...

Status: offline 		To Ruxius: I would be more than happy to play you a SP1 battle, but am unable to since I don't have my old copy any longer. However, once this new SPWAW V-5 is released, I'd be very interested in doing a battle with you. I have to inform you, thst I have never played a battle pbem or over the internet. You may have to have a lot of patience with me as I may have to learn how to set things up. I would be willing to be any nationality you want as an oponent, but if you wish me to charge you on horse calvary versus your armour, then be sure you wait while I would get some liquid strength. I am awaiting the new version of SPWAW and am sure they will have some sort of support for internet play. If your're interested, send me an email if youre interested in beggining a battle and all your preferences you wish and since I am now retired off the old railroad, I'll see what kind of discontent I can bestow upon you in a battle. Seeing how often you appear in this forum, I may have to watch my flanks. Thanks to you and the other people in this forum for making playing these games enjoyable and also for meeting all of the wonderful people out there with the same interest.

Status: offline 		Well I'm 19 now so I quess Im kinda young here :rolleyes: . Cuz when I were younger we didn't have cpu and never heard of war gaming(with boards or cpu).. so I played with plastic toy soldiers creating own lil wars and I got some dice rules too :) Well really when I first got any idea of cpu war gaming was with CloseCombat and that can't really be considered to be real deep stratedy gaming and I wanted to see more .. but cuz me iz lazy I still waited. Meanwhile I also got few SP 1 and 3 games with my friends cpu and I got interested .. so when I finally heard bout SP:WaW coming I decided to try it out .. and now Im addict :D Really waiting for that SP:WaW 5.0 cd so I can buy it and support those WONDERFUL MATRIX PPL WHO HAVE ENLIGHTENED ME!!

Status: offline 		Well I am 29, married 8 years to a wife that loves to play computer games (and she is good looking, boy I lucked out ) First experience was in '93 played ASL vs a friend that had tried to convince me this was the kind of game to go with. Had a single panzerfaust and burned 5 shermans while firing from inside a building (boy he kept saying the backblast will kill, but the dice liked me) ever since then I have been hooked on these kind of games. Wife was happy when we got computer so she didnt have all those little chits to find in corners of the house from table top games like ASL. Thanks Wild Bill and all the rest that worked on this, this game rocks. :p

Status: offline 		Hi everybody, I'm 25 years old. Started wargaming in the late 80's with the old SSI classics (Typhoon of Steel, Battleships, etc.). Bought quite a lot of SSi's wargames. In 1995 (?) I bought SP1, then SP2 and SP3. Found the Matrixgames homepage nearly a year ago. Very great site. Now, I know I'm not alone with my interests in wargames. (All of my friends realy hate these games). Thanks a lot for SPWaW. It is a realy great game. Can hardly wait for version5. Realy got depressed on my last birthday, but you guys showed me that there are still quiet a lot of years to come for me before getting senile.

Status: offline 		Hi Steelers. I´m 36 years old and played boards games since I was 10-12... Risk and stratego were my first games, and in PC version... Spectrum "arhem", Amiga64 ( I remenbered specialy "brigade comander") next the PC games. Now, I have hundreds of games, in board and PC format. Tactics, Caesar en alesia, SL, ASL, Flat Top, Wooden ships, Russian Campaing, NATO, Harpoon, Arabe-Israely wars... but my favorite is "THE RUSSIAN FRONT". :rolleyes: The list could be interminable... And now SPWAW. The best tactical game I have never seen (until today). ¡¡¡Thanks Matrix and all the people than makes this possible!!! Years ago, when I had by first time the ST1 in my hands I thougth... "Thanks my god, I have lived to see this day" My sons and the sons of my sons remenbered this day. ;)

Status: offline 		Hello everyone! I am 43 and have been wargaming since the sandbox in my backyard. Got SP1 at a book store just after it first came out, still remember asking the sales clerk if was a good game, he said it was good for a couple hundred hours of playing time. Now several hundred thousand hours of playing later I am a SPWAW junkie, although I have still never played a PBEM game. Nice to see I am in the best of company! ____________ Into your holes and gunpits! Kill them with rifles and knives! Feed them with lead until they are dead- And widowed are their wives.

Status: offline 		Hi, I'm 32, married at 10 years... with 4 kids. My firsts wargames were 1/300 battles with airfix rules (from an older cousin) -(not counting those with Airfix soldiers, a card and a small ball (?) - damn, I'm restarting these with my kids!..! but they prefer Age of Empires...) In computers... well, I remember I brought a ATARI ST (instead of the Amiga, much more popular here) because of Colonial Conquest - the Atari version was so much better!!... The only problem with the SP system is «going back» - I played every «General», but my favourite is still the Panzer General, and I'm still playing it sometimes... with SP... I played the 1, and it was good, then the 2 - it was good,I could still play sometimes the 1, but the grafics were looking silly..!... :) The 3 was (is?) good, but was hard to get in scale... and now with slower hand and faster PC it's hard to get anywhere in the map!! but I get used to it until I find... W@W (4.5)... well, it's hard getting in scale, but it has Maus, early 30's... who could resist?!?

What a pity !! I 'backupped' my SP1 copy tending to plus infinity...Till I die SP1 will never disappear from my life..infact I keep an old 486 alive in my room just for playing the old Wing Commander and SP1 obviously !

Very well ! a new DM-Flag has been raised and stands tall till the coming of SPWAW5.0 and ...don't worry..I am not frenetic ! I have a lot of patience and I will explain to you e'thing you need to have a good play.. As regards my preferences I only have noticed that I tend to have a predilection for defeat... :D This can sound odd to many but I mean I like so much SPWAW that I 'experience' a battle not only I play it ! ...Each battle acts to me as an added flashback in history..so I don't look for victory or defeat..I look for emotion..I think you can have the maturity to understand this ...This point of view requires a trusted player since errors are to be considered a well-accepted part of a the course of events. I hope I can count on you ! :) No other requirements needed...

Sorry for your flanks... Ok since now you can consider yourself as a "registered" opponent for me . As soon as SPWAW5.0 will be available , loaded into a LCS where it will learn to cross the ocean to land in Sicily , Salerno , Roma , Cassino ..and finally at least near Milan to my house , ..where I live !!! YEEEEEEEEEE !!! I will mail to you a prompt..

To CHRISTIAN : Gruss soldat ! Willkommen Sie hier !! (I will keep speaking in German if only you will tell me something in Italian ahahahaha now I know it's very hard for you !!! ...Ich spreche keine deutsch aber Ich habe viel lust studieren ..when I will be graduated...by the next two years..maybe) No , now you are not alone anymore.. Soon you will find this as a second home ! I felt the same loneliness for very long time in my past since I failed in choosing the appropriate friends :-)) but now the Web extended the borders of my interests..... Any other wargame ever gave me a place and a name the same way Matrix does with all of us !! ..you will soon feel the warm of a new brotherhood here...!

Status: offline 		to Ruxius Now you got me eagerly awaiting the assault. My only fear is that I may have to learn how to speak Italian or German to be able to decipher your dispatches. I have a hard enough time reading my own English dispatches. I am looking forward to competing with you. I've got a feeling that we won't see the version 5 until about the very end of the month. I agree with everyone else on this forum, that Matrix has somehow made a game and forum that has somehow gathered wargamers and historians alike in common in fellowship. Personally, I have not found another site that has such a great gathering of people from all over the globe that are all so congenial with each other and still able to compete . Kudos to Matrix for these games and forums.

Simply click under the central part of the txt box the button 'quote' ...some parenthesis will appear...then you have to paste between those parenthesis the original text you cut from the topic before writing a reply... TO DAVID : Non mi aspettare mai al centro del campo di battaglia..quelli sono solo i miei 'attori' Ok mister..now you have your first dispatch.. :) Enjoy it !!

Well this is a good starting point..I don't like players that play without love and care for their soldiers...

I am not worried about that...I prefer they do not feel forced to make things in a hurry..I prefer to wait a little more and have things working properly.. Ok Mr. David...prepare your strongholds.. I am approaching...
