Wifey is gonna buy me a game but am so torn.....

Conflict of heroes
case blue
sim city
panzer corps africa corps
star drive
distant worlds

Does any one know if matrix will be having an Easter sale this year? quite like the idea of distant worlds but looks like it is only good if you can afford the expansion packs?

[Grim.Reaper]

I could be wrong, but don't recall an easter sale at Matrix....

[panzerde]

DW is great, but you really do want all on the expansions.  The next expansion is in the works and is close to release, I *think* there might be a bundle released at that time, but I can't remember if I read that "officially" or if it was just speculation.

If you can only get one game, I think you can't go far wrong with Case Blue.

I'd say LnL:HoS over Conflict of Heroes but only Mark Walker and Barthheart know when its coming out

[Rayfer]

Case Blue or Distant Worlds (with expansions) would be my suggestion.

[Cyrano]

For me, it's not close:  Case Blue.

Groggiest of the offerings, but it's still got the great accessible design that Vic builds into his stuff.  He builds the EF game everyone thinks will be his next/last Decisive Campaigns game and I will be a happy dude.

Best,

What sort of game are you looking for as your options are pretty varied?

[Nefaro]

What sort of game are you looking for as your options are pretty varied?

Agreed.  That's quite a spread regarding subject matter & time period.

I'd say DW and Case Blue are probably the notable standouts in your original list.  But who knows what else is right around the corner?

I play a mixed bag of games and i chose them as i have been following them all for a while (apart from star drive which is new on radar)

Would really love DW, just wish Matrix would be a lot kinder on pricing and if i have to buy all 3 to get the best out of the game it;s a lot of cash.

If Rome II was out would jump on that first :) or  a steel panthers remake.

....Would really love DW....

Then that's the one I would get if I were you.

DW: If you could afford just 1 of the expansions, which would you go for first?

[Bison]

Well you need to buy the game in expansion order so DW then Return of the Shakturi the Legends.   I believe you get like a 20% discount on each expansion if you buy at the time you purchase DW.  It works out to be like $80 for download only. 

The only think that keeps me from play DW more is the UI.  It is not easy to read.  So I hope you have good eyesight or a low resolution monitor.

oh dear that puts me back into indecisive mode......

None of the above.  Play what you already have but clean your room first!
