Heads up: 40% sale on CO2 modules. I'm going shopping :bd:
https://store.lnlpublishing.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=60
Hmmmm.... might finally get this system..... :)
Well, this piqued my interest again (as is always the case when threads like this pop up) and I'm very saddened to see that the existing stuff has not been updated - as in Foothills of the Gods, Highway to the Reich and The Cauldron do not have Situation maps...a small thing, but over a year ago I posted that the maps were missing and I was informed they were being worked on.
Still an astounding game.
Didn't I read at some point that didn't seem like active development because have to focus on other things? Maybe I just misread it.
:bd: Thanks for the heads-up! Definately jumping in now.
I constantly go back and forth on this one. I have bought two different versions of Command Ops and get tempted by sales like this one. But I know I won't play it. Although I am playing SB a lot less and have to fill that hole. Can only play Command so much.
Im still waiting for them to get on steam.
How long is the sale?
I was reading in the forums that they should be going on steam soon. Let me see if I can cut and paste the text. I know Dave the owner of Panther games which developed Command Ops has been dealing with some pretty heavy personal real life issues. As for me this is the game that will always have a permanent spot on my hard drive. Only game where I really feel like a commander in WWII with all the challenges they faced.

Hi folks. Pavlo and I hope to hook up this Sunday evening to iron out the last of the hurdles with the registration code. This should clear the way for CO2 to go on Steam. It's been a long time coming, I know. LNL will be announcing a pre Xmas sale shortly. So stay tuned for that.

Yeah, the situation maps were mine to do. My hours at work changed and my spare time lessened. I was also spending far too much time on the pc and got burned out so I stopped. Not sure if I'll get back to them or not, I haven't discussed it with Dave yet.
^ Well you should!! :-"
Seriously though, those situation maps were amazing and added that final touch to an excellent game. :notworthy:
I just pulled the trigger on everything CO2 in the store. That should give me my strategic command fix for quite a while along with WitE.

Whenever my wife buys a lot of stuff on sale I always ask her "What did you do with all the money you saved?" :-"
Well... just downloaded the base game to try it out. Can't get it working properly. :(
If I set the screen resolution to any value other than my current one, all the menus are black and you can't see any buttons.
If I set the screen res to my current value, 3840x2160, I can get into a scenario but the maps are screwed up when you zoom in all the way and the side panels have text running off the panel.
Oh well.
QuoteWell... just downloaded the base game to try it out. Can't get it working properly. :(
don't feel bad. i'm sure the devs over at panther will help you in a minute -
these resolutions are a 'new' thing for this niche and guess what, the latest WitW public beta has this item as the first thing in it's changelog:
QuoteV1.01.48 – 21 November 2016
New Features and Rule Changes
1. Game should once again function on Windows XP.
:nerd:
Anyone play the West Wall and Knock on All Doors scenarios? Do they offer any significant variation over the modules contained within the commander pack that they are worth splurging for?
I have played a little of Knock on all Doors. In terms of game play similar but different but scope is much larger. It forces you to play as a division level too may units to micromanage. You have to really understand your AI subordinate strengths and units and allow them enough time to plan. Its scary trusting that the AI will deploy your regiments int eh wood line or blocking positions you want and when they dont well that is pretty historical as well.
Con
I played a little of KOAD and agree with Con. Westwall is the only one I don't own. I've looked at it many times and will probably get it on sale. Westwall kinda showcases the reason they had to go to CO2, the ability to have massive maps going forward .... look here .. http://forums.lnlpublishing.com/threads/westwall-small-teaser.2033/
What's the DRM on these games right now. If they are going up on Steam soon, I might wait. But the DRM is a simple reg number, I might consider the sale. I can't believe I am caving in. Damn you all, damn you all to hell.

I take full responsibility for starting the thread - but, enjoy Hell >:D
if you dont own any of the games the commander pack is an awesome value, 5 modules for $59.99. Download the free demo with 3 varied scenarios to try it out, while its easy to play, understanding what all goes into it takes a bit of time, its a different wargamng beast. the DRM is the same as Matrix. I think there still working out how to get everyone who already bought a steam key when released, havent read any news on that in awhile.
Darn...I was hoping you would say it was a dongle so it wold give me the will to resist. I guess I'll pull the trigger and then stare at it for several months without playing it.
I will get one Module at least, it is 40% for an amazing game, even if I dont have time to play, I will play it for sure, one day, but its amazing the sale and Christmas and stuff...
Anyone had problems with the store? Tried the purchase and get PayPal (don't use) or Credit Card option. The latter asks for Postal Code (?) which I don't have but it must be entered. Also, I can't submit a support ticked despite being logged in (not authorized).
:'(
Screw all that. I'll wait for Steam.

To submit a ticket you must be logged into the forums... which is a different login from the store.... very odd and David did say they were trying to fix that.

I was logged in at both when trying to submit a ticket. I will try the purchase again later. Maybe all a temporary problem.
For anyone new to it who:
A) wanted to buy the game, and
B) was then able to buy the game, and
C) was then able to run the game,
the tutorial videos are very good:

Has it been determined yet that when released on steam that prior owners would get keys?

I'm assuming, but no there hasnt been anything concrete posted on this.
