Been tempted by Decisive Campaigns, I must admit, and I do need something to lure me away from Warlock for a while.

Decisive Campaigns is an excellent wargame.

I caved today and picked up both of the Command Ops titles.

I really enjoyed the original Highway to the Reich game. There are very few games that have motivated me to stick with the grand campaign through to completion, but Highway was one of them. I have high hopes for these new titles.

I don't think you will be disappointed at all.  They are fantastic games.

Heh,  I forgot I still had a $15 discount for Advance Tactics Gold so with the sale and discount it only cost me $15.  Cheapest game I've ever gotten from Matrix.

I bought BftB today and played the tutorial.

After securing all victory locations German reinforcements counterattacked and annihilated my tank batallion defending the high value victory objective, cut of supplies from 2/3rds of my army. Quickly a counter attack was organized and waiting started... After that i learned that sometimes troops need to be told not to rest. Oh and defeating the kingtigers cutting of my forces was no walk in the park. I think they gave up from exhaustion, being surrounded and being unable to shoot over the mounds of corpses i so sneakily had piled up around their defenses....

Loads of fun.

That's just a great game! Reminds me I need to get back to playing it!

I suppose that with some of the purchasing sprees, during Matrix' sale, they're probably getting a boost in income right now. 

I wonder if they're catching on to the PC publisher craze of regular blowout sales, and easing into it slowly?

I have to agree...for them to stay relevant, they are going to have to do some price adjustments, especially for their old games.  Kind of crazy in my opinion that a number of their games being fairly old, but still commanding high prices.   I understand wargames are a niche and some people must be buying them at the current prices for Matrix to keep the prices the same and remain in business, but I know I would be one to buy/try a lot more if the prices were more reasonable.  Lowering the prices would cater to the impulse shoppers like myself:)  So maybe I should be glad they have high prices:)

Retail sales of non-essentials generally goes down around graduation season and the start of summer vacations. I doubt this is a sign that they will lower prices more often.

I liked Conquest of the Aegean, but after months of CMBN I need an Eastern Front game or two, so I went to look at the sale and I think I'll get Operation Star which isn't on sale, has very mixed reviews and costs less than the games that are for sale in the sale.
