Matrix v. Talonsoft
Sorry I haven't been on the Blitz in a while so I'm sure this has been asked before.
I own all the old Talonsoft Campaign Series games, including all the expansions. Does this mean I can only play people who have the old games and not the people who use the Matrix edition of the Campaign Series? Do people still play the old games, or has everyone switched over?

RE: Matrix v. Talonsoft
There are still some that play the older Talonsoft version; however, I think most folks have transitioned to the Matrix edition. These version are not compatible with each other. So, when requesting a game, you'll have to be clear you are looking for Talonsoft version and not Matrix version.
Best regards,
Jim

RE: Matrix v. Talonsoft
Hey Chris:
There are many advantages to switching over to the Matrix version of JTCS!
All three theaters (EF2, WF, and RS) are combined on one CD-ROM. Many new countries order of battles, new units, and additional optional rules. The game loads onto your hard disk drive, so you don't run it from a CD-ROM.
Also, as Jim mentioned, most players have transitioned over to Matrix. You will have a better chance of finding PBeM opponents with Matrix editions versus Talonsoft.

RE: Matrix v. Talonsoft
Don't forget to patch it to 1.04 before starting a PBEM

Chris:
Before you play the Matrix JTCS (Campaign Series), be sure to down load and install all the patches for the game. These patches (1.03 and 1.04) may be found at this URL: www.matrixgames.com/products/318/downloads/John.Tiller%27s.Campaign.Series

RE: Matrix v. Talonsoft
1.04 is inclusive though, isn't it?
So just install JTCS itself, then apply 1.04 (only).
Methinks?
