Welcome aboard. While there may be a few players that still play with the original discs, many have moved to the John Tillers Campaign Series: http://www.matrixgames.com/products/318/details/John.Tiller's.Campaign.Series That game includes West Front, East Front and Rising Sun. Hope that helps! Jason Petho RE: Rising Sun - Wolfman - 02-03-2011 I still have the original RS Disk but will need to re-install it if you want a game.

[email protected] Cool. Well it seems as though my version of Rising Sun isn't pbem compatible with the Matrix release? Is there a Rising Sun update I can apply that will allow our versions to mix?

The original game and new game are not PBEM compatible. Jason Petho RE: Rising Sun - Wolfgang - 02-04-2011 What a bummer Well i do have the original installed - if anyone does happen to have this version ill play a pbem match or two for kicks. :) RE: Rising Sun - Jason Petho - 02-04-2011 While the same game in essence, the new version has had a large number of additions: Rising Sun Fully functional Map, OOB and Scenario Editors! 60 Scenarios! 6 Linked Campaigns! New Scenarios: 1. Long Son Eastern Advance (French vs Japanese) 2. Another Page for the History Books (French vs Japanese) 3. Yang Dang Khum (French vs Thai) New Countries: French Indochina Netherlands East Indies Thailand Nationalist China (KTM) Allied Communist China Axis Communist China Axis Soviet Union Allied Soviet Union New Units Types: Many new armour, artillery, and infantry and other units for Axis and Allies including captured armour, artillery and vehicles. Trains for Chinese, Japanese, French and Russians Ship types; Sampans, Junks, Gunboats, River Patrol Ships Pack Animals Observation Aircraft (Piper Cub) for Americans and British Changes: OOB editor has been expanded from 1930-1953. OOB structures have been added for the Japanese forces in China and the Southern Army in 1941-42. A Map editor that you can create maps from all five climate zones (NEW, MED, DES, TRO and TEM) Horses can be moved unmounted! Mounted Cavalry and motorcyclists can fire on the move! And this does not include the additions up to and including the 1.04 UPDATE. Plus, it is supported and comes with the other two expanded games. It really is a bargain.

RE: Rising Sun - Scud - 02-06-2011 Yeah, worth the $$, especially considering that it's going to be updated from time to time and the talonsoft versions are dead. Plus it's completely compatible with the new operating systems (with a possible tweak or two). http://www.matrixgames.com/products/318/screenshots/John.Tiller's.Campaign.Series Splurge. With the download version we could be playing today! Welcome to the Blitz! Dave |
