Matrix Holiday Sale Starts Tomorrow (21st November)

[JudgeDredd]

Just thought I'd let anyone interested know.

WiF @ 50% off would be cool ;D

I'm looking forward to it as usual.  I just went through the games Matrixgames released in 2013 (not including the re-released Ageod games) and the list is quite impressive, but unfortunately I doubt we'll see any of these on the sale:

• Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel
• Pandora First Contact
• World in Flames
• Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager
• AJE: Parthian Wars
• Fantasy Kommander-Eukarion Wars
• Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm
• Espana 1936
• Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations
• Civil War II
• Battle Academy - Rommel in Normandy
• Germany at War: Operation Barbarossa 1941
• Scourge of War Gettysburg 150th Anniversary Collection
• Scourge of War: Brandy Station
• Command Ops: Battles for Greece
• Conflict of Heroes: Ghost Divisions
• Panzer Corps Allied Corps
• AJE: The Cantabrian Wars - 29BC
• AJE: The Spartacus Revolt 73 BC
• Distant Worlds: Shadows
• Gary Grigsbys War in the East: Lost Battles
• Panzer Corps Grand Campaign 1939-1945 mega pack
• Battle Academy - Operation Husky
• Panzer Corps Grand Campaign 45 West
• Unity of Command:Red Turn
• AJE: Birth of Rome

..but I won't be upset if Erik and company prove me wrong ;)

I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the AGE games on sale, if the AGEOD guys have any say.  Perhaps AJE and/or BOR?  I need to get the latest expansion sometime.   ;)

I also wouldn't be surprised if some of the earlier Scourge of War stuff is in.

Erik has stated that the sale will NOT include anything released this year.

That makes it easy then.

Too bad.  I was hoping to pick up a copy of Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm.  Already spent my wargaming budget this year otherwise.

As long as Scourge of War: Antietam in on the list I'll be happy.  :)

[Gusington]

OK even though Battle Academy won't be in the sale (or at least the latest release)...is there a mega pack for it?

[Rayfer]

As long as Scourge of War: Antietam in on the list I'll be happy.  :)

+1....and Chancellorsville too!

Chancellorsville is a great expansion.  Bought it earlier this year.  Love all the trees!   :D

I'm still playing through the Antietam scenarios and have really enjoyed them.  I really should get Chancy too.

I'm taking a break from games from there anyway. They haven't released anything I'm much interested in of late (lite wargames?) and anything I was interested in had my enthusiasm squashed by the price. Seems I'm being priced out the niche market  :D

Erik has stated that the sale will NOT include anything released this year.

Where did he state that? You'll likely know better than I as I hardly frequent there anymore - but that's a turn in policy...their previous sales often included sales on games released that year. As an example Command:Battles for the Bulge was on sale on release year.

Perhaps they based it on how well they sold on release (what's the point in having a new release sitting there making 100 sales when it could sell more in a sale)?

Also I believe they held onto items they had only just released to make sure people KNOW their policy that they won't be in the sale...that way anyone waiting on the sale for a game they wanted that was released in the last 3 (6?) months would know they would have to wait until the following year...therefore forcing the purchase on release.

In this post.
"We don't typically put recently release games in the holiday sale FYI. It typically covers the entire catalog except for the games release within the last year."

[JudgeDredd]

^oh...never saw that.

But they have - I guess that's covered by the "typically".

Thx

[FlickJax]

They are taking their sweet time about it!!!
