Some of you may have played and enjoyed Gary Grigsby's A World Divided in past years.

https://www.matrixgames.com/game/gary-grigsbys-world-at-war-a-world-divided

It's a grand strategy title covering all of World War II, from Europe to the Pacific. We often heard it described as "Axis and Allies on steroids".

The good news for fans of this type of gameplay is that we have a new version of A World Divided which we're planning to re-launch on our store and perhaps some other platforms in the near future.

This new version includes full PBEM++ support for up to 5 player games(!) as well as support for high resolution screens and modern operating systems.

We're looking for wargamers to help us test out this new version in a roughly 4 week beta test before we proceed to the release. If you are willing and able, please sign up here and we'll get you on the team in the coming days:

Until we get the new beta system turned on, I don't believe there's anything we can do to change this. For now, please just ignore it and continue to the application.

Regards,

- Erik

In any case, I look forward to how things go!

Sorry, but this re-master was focused only on adding in multi-player PBEM++ (which is working very well so far and a lot of fun!) and high resolution support.

If we do a sequel to AWD in the future, we would certainly be looking to improve a lot of the production values further, likely including some new animations.

World at War is, by far, my favorite PC war game. The only thing that it was missing is the PBEM support and the higher resolution. I'd worked around the resolution by editing a config file, but this will breathe new life into a game that really deserves more attention.

Eagerly awaiting release, and signed up for the beta if you need help.

Is it a sub forum of this one? Just to know where to look if I am in or not.
