Tempted. But also promised myself to work through some of my wargame backlog (WitW, WitP:AE, DC case blue, DC: Barbarossa)

Only $24 for me after using my coupon:). Today was the last day so glad it did not get delayed.

Same here. One day I'm going to get back to my Kampgruppe game.

That was my thought too and my backlog is longer than that, but I'm starting to crumble already.

If you only see three scenarios when you first launch the game, as I did, change the directory (button on left when first selecting new game) to access the many hundred that come with the game.

How many pages does the manual have?

Jarhead - I hate people

IronX

Total of 176. Some good iPad reading, for sure.

So just played around with it a little.

First impressions are that the interface is much improved.  It also responds much faster.  It seems like AI action and turn processing is slower, but I would have to run the same scenario III and compare.

I'd like to take the plunge - but I want the manual and £18 for postage is a disappointment for me. So I'm going to hold off to see if the postage comes down.

I found a post over at Matrix where I paid <£2 for postage for the physical copy of Decisive Campaigns

Plus - Battlefront II is out tomorrow and I want me some blaster and lightsabre action

Yet they have still failed to resolve the one huge issue that will stop me buying it. In hex rivers. Just too many anomalies   to overcome mentally.

Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.
