Title: Merry Christmas
Post by: JudgeDredd on November 09, 2013, 08:35:40 PM
I know it's early - but I have a load of games that I either just don't have time to play or have no interest anymore.

So - I would like to offer said games as a Christmas gift to anyone who wants them as I have not much use for them.

The games I have to offer are in the following list. They are digital download games and all Matrix games. I will not use the game again nor will I download to use for my own use

You will unlikely
a) be able to register them to you
b) be able to get "membership only" updates

I will, if contacted, try and help with downloads when (if) required but I will never give my registration info out (obviously)

The games I have (for free) are...
Time of Fury
Unity of Command
Panzer Command:Kharkov and OstFront
Battles in Italy
Battles in Normandy
Close Combat:Last Stand Arnhem
Close Combat:The Longest Day
Close Combat:Wacht am Rhein
Conquest of the Aegean (COTA)
Harpoon:Commanders Edition
John Tillers Battleground Civil War
Kharkov:Disaster on the Donets + Across the Dnepr 2 Exp

GONE
AEGOD WW1 and Gold Update COMPLETE - Airborne Rifles (physical copy required I think...waiting on postal address)
Harpoon:Ultimate Edition COMPLETE - Mr Bigglesworth
Crown of Glory:Emperors Edition COMPLETE - Grim Reaper
Distant Worlds + Shakturi + Legends + Shadows COMPLETE - Staggerwing
Command Ops BftB + Command Ops HTTR + Command Ops Battles for Greece COMPLETE - undercovergeek
Hannibal:Rome and Carthage COMPLETE - Grim Reaper
Decisive Campaigns:Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris COMPLETE - Bob48
AGEoD - American Civil War COMPLETE - Metaldog
Conflict of Heroes COMPLETE - Toonces


I have yet to work out where to put these files and how to let you get them...but I intend to give it a "good go". Drop box maybe, or a "file sharing" website...or perhaps if all else fails I'll send you the file on a disk.

Anyway - let me know and I'll see what I can rustle up...and Merry Christmas

Just been "holding on" to titles for me to get there and, having known they never grabbed me then, perhaps someone will make use of them

I am soooo grumpy, and also a wee bit pissed (it IS 2am!). But seriously - I've had quite a few of these games for some time and just never get into them - even when I try I give them a cursory glance and then move on. They might as well give someone else some pleasure.

MetalDog - you know ACW is ACW 1 - not their latest one (I still intend to try and learn that!)

UCG - sure thing - you want the DLC too I presume?

Honestly, I don't know anything about any of those games.  I just know that I have to try to learn one or they will revoke my hexagonal Wargamers Union Card.

I'm just glad we weren't on the list.  ;D

I wish I had time to play some of those and I'd happily ask for a few. Not enough hours in a day any more.  :'(

Damn nice of you to send them to good homes for the holidays.

Well it has to be revoked now since Ageod doesn't use hexagons, but it is a very good game if you spend the time to learn the UI.

That's awfully nice of you Judge!

I'd love Conflict of Heroes if you still have it.

Seriously, that is one heck of a list judge. God bless us, everyone.

Id dive on Kharkov faster then a waterbed with an oiled up Mirth, Martok and Gus 4some if my pc was working.  :-[

Thanks and I do look a bit like Father Christmas...in fact moreso every year.

Some people here donated to my recent charity bike ride...doo just giving something back.

it really isn't a big deal. I know there are a couple of big ones there but they aren't being used and might as well get some use elsewhere.

GDS...you want me to reserve Kharkov?

ooo - i thought they were 3 different titles - cool, yes please
Title: Re: Merry Christmas
Post by: bob48 on November 10, 2013, 06:12:30 AM
JD, that is a very generous offer.

If its still going then Decisive Campaigns:Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris please.

If not, then no worries, but thank you anyway.

mmm. Need a bit of organisation here - didn't think this through.

I guess the best way is for people to PM me what they want and as I receive the requests, I'll score them off. When you do PM me, I need your email address so I can share the folder on drop box with you. I believe when I share the folder with you I think you will get an email from dropbox with a message from me and that message will have the required serial numbers.

Be aware that I will likely be removing the files from dropbox after a while, so what you download you need to keep safe.

As I said, I won't mind if a patch comes out that requires me to login to Matrix to get for you...but I think most/all the games I have are all publicly patched.

Any problems, contact me.

Also - anyone who has claimed a game up to now needs to pm me with their email address (and just confirm the game please) and I'll set these up. It might take a day or two

Thanks.

Seems Dropbox is only free to 2GB. I did look at upgrading, but for 100GB it's $10 a month - still I was going to push the button, but there are credit card and paypal options for paying. I selected paypal and it won't let me continue until I put my credit card details in. I've very wary of something requiring credit card details when I've selected my payment option as paypal.

So - it seems I'm going to have to do this quite slowly. Upload a game, send the link, when the person downloads it, I can clear the dropbox and start again.

Sorry about this - delivery will be slower than anticipated. But do not fear - I'll get round to you.

I've notified the first person. When they've downloaded and let me know, I can clear and upload the next one. I'd also really appreciate (as would others) if when you receive the link you download quickly and let me know asap so I can clear the dropbox.

Thanks

Hey Metaldog and Staggerwing - if you could both pick your games up and let me know when you have downloaded them so that I can delete the folders and upload some others I'd appreciate it.

Thanks
Title: Re: Merry Christmas
Post by: Staggerwing on November 10, 2013, 05:46:17 PM
Judge, I got the files- sorry for the delay but my dropbox was full and it was screwy so I moved a few files and was good to go.
Thanks again for your generosity!
Title: Re: Merry Christmas
Post by: JudgeDredd on November 10, 2013, 05:48:47 PM
No probs.

Distant Worlds looked a great game - but I kind of got lost in the vastness of it - I couldn't really keep track of what was going on...hopefully it'll make sense to you.

No - I'm not that nice. I've had a couple of run-ins with the bloke and it's not that I dislike the guy - I just can't be bothered trying to fix what can't be.

Besides - I gave him a game last year - Air War Middle East I think - or Vietnam or something - can't remember.

Post by: JudgeDredd on November 14, 2013, 12:11:32 PM
lol - yes I am. I forgot you mentioned about Blue Coins.

I haven't bought much from Gamersgate though...sup to you about the coins - but I really don't mind you keeping them for something that crops up. All I'll do is waste them on a  game I'll play for a month (though that's never my sole intention).
