Heresy, but Solitaire is best.

Absolutely no one is going to accept this but...I have now played the game a number of times, on various difficulty settings, as Allies and as Axis. And the way that is most enjoyable for me is - solitaire, playing both sides. All units can be named, you can have a Mediterranean game and a Scandinav...

A great research system

Thank you. Your research system is most original, innovative and subtle. Its permutations are immense and offer the possibilities of constant freshness for each new game.

You see what you are dealing with

Thanks! I know it is trying to have to answer idiot questions like this one.

I don't know much about computers but I do know something about wargames and yours is one of the best I have seen in a very long time.

Play as both Allies and Axis

This may seem intensely silly to many but then, I have been called intensely silly before. Would it be possible to include in a patch a way for a player to play both the Axis and the Allied sides? In effect, to turn off the AI? For decades I played board wargames solitaire and find it quite enjoyabl...

Questions about upgrading

1) Does a new unit always deploy with the highest levels of research already reach that are applicable to it?

2) When Organization increases a level does each unit need to be upgraded to the new level or is this a more abstract upgrade that applies to all one's armed forces?

thanks

Your game is Excellent!

I appreciate that the commanders function like this but the fact that the AI can't use commanders makes it one sided. If it is possible to patch in the AI using them this would be great; if not, its ok, it is a very minor thing. As a boy, about 300 years ago, I always loved military maps of operatio...

Dont Forget Russian front

The Russians tried a large paradrop in '43 or '44 and it was a mess. And this at a time when they were kicking the Germans around everywhere and their leaders and staffs were equal to and perhaps superior to the Germans; not to mention their vastly superior intelligence. Shows how hard it is to get ...

Request for Army & Army Group HQs

This may not be possible except in a new version of the game but...I would like to suggest the inclusion of Headquarter Units for Armies and Army Groups (adjusted for Nation; Russian Armies were the approximate equivalents of German Corps, at least until 1943 or so). I do so for two reasons, one pra...

Please name all units

I would like to request, for a future patch, that all units be named. There is no problem with the your own side, with the new patch, or with the enemy's 1939 starting units, but very soon you start fighting a lot of generic Corps and Fighter units, ect. This makes absolutely no difference in the pl...

Of games, simulations, paintings and CEAW

This post will advance a general theory about wargames. It may be long and to many will be too much philosophizing and too little direct comment on CEAW. Well, you can always change the channel. I do have some comments about specific parts of the game and a few suggestions I will offer in other post...

You are a Model!

Your tech support is the best I have ever seen. You are fast, coherent always trying to help. If the other companies would model their support after yours the world of computer wargames would be a better one. Thanks!

Help for computer challenged

Hello, I have the game, on disk, and the 1.04 patch downloaded onto a USB drive. How do I transfer the patch from the USB to the game? Will it do so automatically when opened or is there a particular folder I need to copy it to? Also, I assume (perilous word!) that the patches are cumulative, that 1...

Too much carping about the U-boats

First, I don't have the game yet. Second, I have read almost all - and there is a whole lot of it - of the arguments about the U-boats being weak and ahistorical so I believe I understand the argument. The critics are essentially complaining that the U-boats are not as effective in the game as they ...

Thanks for answering. Forgive my stumbling over computer things. I did not say that I am going to get the disk from matrix. So you are saying the auto register on line only applies to those who download the whole game? Thanks!

You are correct

But I have read extensively on this and the Matrix forums on the game and seen other posts like yours. I would think your last s...

Will game run if I can't go online?

Sorry, I posted this as a reply when I meant to post it as a thread. I read in another post that the game registers online when you first play it. I don't have an online connection (will try and get patches using a flash drive). Will the game register and let me play without an internet connection?

Frustrating but historically accurate.

All simulations of historical wars fight the eternal battle between playability vs. accuracy. But, realistically, if Germany does not win the War in 1942 her goose is cooked, and should be. Consider, Germany could not defeat Russia by itself; after the entry of America there was simply no chance, th...
