I had been holding out on SCWWI but with the bundle, I may just have to go for it now.

What is the price for the bundle, btw?

Thanks Staggerwing!  And thanks for the reminder, Gus. 


I wish I wasn't so leery of Battlefront's licensing/copy protection.  I haven't heard a lot of complaints about it, but I have seen a few.  It still sounds just onerous enough to keep me perpetually hesitating.

Martok, thanks for the welcome.  :)
drm for SCWWI was to enter one serial for both games (main + Expansion - while being online...) ... that was all...

cheers!

Quick question...got Breakthrough and the original SCWWI game up and running. But I don't see the Franco Prussian War scenario available. I haven't patched anything yet...which patches do I need to get that scenario? Thanks all.

the 1.0.4 patch for breakthrough would be fine i guess.
the original needs the 1.0.7. patch.

here's the link:

Yes, they each have a serial key.  But they also use Battlefront's online activation DRM which has limited activations per year.

Thanks chemkid. Its very early in my play of SCWWI but initially I like the art style of the icons better here than in Commander. On the flip side there is background music in Commander and right now in my unpatched copies of SC there is no music and I miss it.

^ That's weird, Gus, because I just installed SCWW1+Breakthru the other night, and epic music played all throughout both installs (and my patching). Haven't started a game yet, though.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Gusington

I have music through the install and in the menu screen but not in game.

"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

Gusington

Anything...after the setup music it was disappointing to hear nothing in game.
