Just got it.

BTW, you should give Airborne Rifles a commission for the excellent AAR's.

If you supported Linux I'd have happily paid full price. :)

I'll pay for a second copy if that's the case.

I knew it!

I knew it!

I didn't pull the trigger on 25% because I knew they'd be doing this!!

HA!

Vindicated!!

Thanks so much for the heads up.

The big problem is waiting for it to download.  Right now it's moving at 44k.  About 22 more hours.

Got it!  BTW you can also buy it at Matrix for same price and then load it on Steam and have it both places.

Yeah, this has pushed him over the edge again on the newsgroup.

Where exactly is he still allowed to post?   I want to know so I can avoid that place....

I agree with your disdain for Steam.

The same price is available from MatrixGames, directly. You just have to pay a bit more for the disk.

However, you might want to wait until the discount reaches 75%, as $20 is probably the correct price for a game of this calibre.


:uglystupid2:

The database alone is worth more ...

I purchased through Steam, is there a way for me to register my game with Matrix.

He and his doppleganger, Vincenzo, are universally disdained there as well. They are the resident idiots of the wargaming community. And it's a well deserved honor. They've worked at it for a couple decades.

Can we move the discussion onward? 

Feel free to complain about whatever.  But it makes obsession seem in higher abundance than it should be, from more than one party.

Yep, I folded.  50% off was just too much to resist.

I've caved in as well although I fear CMANO may join WITP:AE on my virtual shelf of games that I should play but am too overwhelmed by  :)

Oddly buying it from Matrix at a 40% discount proved to be cheaper than buying it on Steam at a 50% discount (Matrix £27.99 Steam £30.49).

During the Tutorial there are message windows that come up.. but once I do anything they disappear and no-where to be found again. Is there a key or menu command that brings them back up?

I know there's probably an elegant solution - I copy and paste them into notepad

Is there an order to these before I start watching?

Select 'message log in separate window' in view tab.  They no longer show up in the main screen but in a new and resizable window.
You can then print these messages to a file (via game tab - message log).

I put the game back in the virtual attic after getting frustrated during the tutorials. Hopefully this tip and Baloogan's new vids will get me back into the game.
