Status: offline 		I am on turn 31 of 50, of a huge, I mean huge SPWAW battle, a recreation of the battle of Celles (Battle of the Bulge), between US 2nd Armored and the 84th Infantry, plus remnants of 3 Panzer divisions trying to get to the Meuse. With 750 units, you can imagine the size of this map...Its big, let me tell you! Now this is for the diehard SP'er, I assure you! But is it a lot of fun...and blood,...and carnage...and smoke. All this and more is part of the upcoming version 2.0 of Steel Panthers World at War. Now where will I find testers for this 'Mastadon' of scenarios? ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games

David Heath is making sure that we are dealing with every problem we can find to make this one as right as possible. That is the reason that it may take a few more days. Get ready, Bing. Your help till now has been the warm-up for the real thing And Drake, I'll see your panzer and raise you a Jumbo The evil tantalizing Kunel I was only trying to let you know that we are at work, that was all Glad to see the enthusiasm. ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games

Status: offline 		After getting my copy of SPWAW, I was amazed. I can't believe this is free. Thank you guys so much (especially Steeler). I was even more shocked to see the "Saving Private Ryan" scenario. I love that movie(and now the scenario). Hats off to you WB and all of the staff working on this game. I know V2 will be WELL worth the wait. Thanks again and keep up the excellent job guys! Nate

See your jumbo and raise you a platoon of FJ with panzerfaust 100's . Will the oob fixes be coming seperately to V2.0 as they were originally, or will they be released together now? [This message has been edited by StuNZ (edited 06-17-2000).]

Status: offline 		Oh, I knew that Drake.. me too, wish I had a Jumbo...well, we won't go there Thanks buddy. We're gonna get it to you. Remember, small consolation, but anticipation is half the fun, but in this case maybe one-eighth...cause you're gonna really have fun with this one. Nate, your kind words are much appreciated. The support we get is wonderful. Wild Bill ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games

Status: offline 		I'm curious WB; when you are playing a monster like that, what "info" options do you use? Probably has to be fast artillery, but are you also turning off all the combat result info options? I tend to leave those on cuz I want to know why things are happening (or not), but it seems like a really large battle would preclude that.

Status: offline 		Hey there Schmoe (love that name!) There are two kinds of eaters, the savorers and the devourers! Some eat slowly, carefully, enjoying the juices and masticating thoroughly each mouthful. Others wield a knife and fork like a weapon and rip through a meal in no time. The kind of eater you are is probably the kind of wargamer that you are. So, your choice. Take a week, or play continuously till its over, with bathroom breaks of course! Start it up, see how it plays and make your settings accordingly. Me? I'm kind of middle of the road. After retiring from a job of 23 years with strict scheduling, I'm a little more relaxed now and play that way. You can enjoy each shot, or tear up the battlefield. See whatis comfortable for you! And Antonious, at least that big! You'll have 10 sizes to choose from. You'll find one that fits!
