Comp War In Europe From: Greg Ploussios Date: Tue, 18 Feb 1997 00:00:00 +0000 Do some of you still remember the old SPI monster WWII board game War In Europe? Decision Games is selling a computer version of War In Europe. (I created the computer version, contacted Decision Games, the current owner of the copyright to the boardgame, and Decision Games purchased the program.) The game is designed for PBEM or solitaire play, but provides no computer opponent. The program does, however, automate tasks, enforce all rules, calculate supply, potential movement paths, etc. A game saves in one easy to send file for PBEM play. The game also has a number of new options not included in the original game. The game contains an edit function, allowing players to alter scenarios and setups (as long as they have opposing player's password). The interface is very easy to use and intuitive. It is a DOS program, but has movable dialog boxes and other visual interface advantages of Windows, without the disadvantages of Windows programs (slower speed and bugs). The program faithfully recreates the mapboard, as well as displaying photos from World War II, and a portion of speech by Churchill. WIE is a DOS program, but will work out of a Windows 3.1 DOS box, or Windows 95. It requires 3.5 MB RAM, VGA monitor and graphics card, minimum 386 processor (recommend 486 at least), hard drive with 6 MB free, mouse, and a keyboard. A soundblaster or 100% compatible sound card is needed for sound. The program costs $40. The program has extensive online documentation covering all aspects of the rules and game play. Currently, Decision Games has not yet printed a manual, but will provide free of charge a manual once printed (probably 2-3 months) to all those who purchased the game before the manual was included, as well as providing a free update to the program. To order WIE, call or e-mail Decision Games: (805) 723-2088 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (Pacific Time) DecisionGI@AOL.com (they take credit cards) If anyone has any questions about the game, I'd be happy to answer them! -Greg Ploussios Up
