Staggerwing, I'd suggest that this place ain't for the faint of heart or wit...    ;D

No, the box versions were due in end of last week but not sure if they arrived but they were arriving before the download which doesn't even seem a certainty at this stage

Just a ps.

Should anyone pick this up please come back and tell us what it's like.
I am afraid the postal charges, which rack up to be almost as much as the game push this into a wait a while purchase for me.

If shipping is so expensive maybe you guys over in Old Blighty should form some kind of buying club where you get a whole bunch of games on one order and then have it shipped to one person. After that you can use the local postal network or even drive over to the receiving party to get your game(s).

Yes good idea - but I think I need at least four takers before it becomes more sensible with regard postage cost then I am likely, given everything in old blighty is twice as expensive as anywhere else for some reason, to spend as much again posting it internally.

Am waiting to spring on Black sea currently and keep dropping legion Wargames Dien Bien Phu into the purchase box at the moment - so I will perhaps wait until I have those out of my system and my interminable drive to by everything even remotely a wargame kicks in before I make a purchase.

Looks like this must be released and available since moved out of the pre order page and no longer listing estimated dates, but instead says ships within 1-2 business days....some screens now posted
