Huge Matrix sale on Steam

[Hofstadter]

Would get the ageod games, but the engine makes me cry. Decisive campaigns, order or battle and panzer generals are a littletoo beer and pretzels for me.

Maybe that starhammer game...

Damn all of you, just got Soviet Corps.

Decisive Campaigns "is too beer and pretzels" for you?!?  :o

[Hofstadter]

I dont know, I play the grigsby games a lot. So going to DC after that, maybe I ruined it for me a little bit?

[Barthheart]

No worries man. I just never heard anyone describe the DC series as beer and pretzels that's all. For me they are plenty groggy.... but then I've never scarped up enough money to play the GG titles...

Rise of Prussia Gold is showing up as 125% off. They actually pay you $5.00 to get it.

Fredrick the Great would not approve. He was notoriously cheap you know. This sale coincides with my 2nd anniversary as a Matrix member so I get another 8% off. Am I lucky or just good.  :))

Calling the DC games "beer and pretzels" is a little unfair, I think. Yes, they're not as hard-core as the Grigsby game, but they have a lot of fine-grained historical detail -- much more than games like Panzercorps or Battle Academy, which are true beer & pretzels (which I don't mean as a knock against them -- they do what they do very well).

To me, the DC games hit a sweet spot between Beer & Pretzels on the one hand, and overly complex grogginess, a la War in the Pacific: AE.  Just my opinion, but I've found DC Case Blue infinitely more engaging than the dour, drab, lifeless GG War in the East.... (WitP:AE I do love, although I think the grand campaign is essentially unplayable).

Yeah, I really did not give the game much of the chance, the card system also turned me off. It reminded me of magic the gathering

Testify, brother!

Really? The "card system" plays such a small role in the game... in fact you can play entire campaigns without ever using any cards.

I was reacting to his MTG statement only  :P

Probably about to cave on Revolution Under Siege since I've had it on the wishlist for awhile. Doubt I'll play it for quite some time, but for <$10...

[mirth]

We're a pathetic lot.
