Gus hates Atilla.  Well, actually he fears it.  It is his nemesis.

Martok

^  Heh! 

To be fair, he's far from the only one for whom this is true.  Quite a few folks (and not just here at GH) seem to struggle with Attila as opposed to Rome II.

The only thing I've picked up this sale was Tabletop Simulator for NZ$12.

My wish list keeps growing because of this thread/group.  I've yet to pick up anything, but I've still got a few days :P

Got some residual funds in my wallet so I'm eyeing one last grab - Invisible, Inc.  What's the verdict on that one?

I just picked this up as well and have been playing a bit. It's an interesting TBS. Kind of puzzle like but there's more than one solution to the puzzles.
Campaigns seem short to me but I'm still learning what must be done and I'm only on my first FINAL mission.
For the price is seems like a good time waster with a little more meat than the usual fare.

7 Days to Die

All in all more than enough to keep me busy for the year!
Insert witty comment here.

Heroes of Steel ($5 Steam Sale) is an excellent, turn-based, tactical combat, D&D type dungeon crawl.

I've played it 3 hours and I've been very impressed.  Story is enough to keep you interested.  The controls are well thought out.  Pathing for characters is excellent.  You can group your party together outside of combat for even easier movement.

Your party is 4 characters (fighter, healer, thief, mage) with a good number (but not overwhelming) options in combat.

As a turn-based, tactical, small party combat sim it is just excellent.  Beats the hell out of the Spiderweb games for tactical combat. 

If you want some somewhat thoughtful, tactical D&D combat sim Beer & Pretzels game - this one is a great buy.

Stalingrad for $1.24.

The game doesn't have a 1920x1080 setting, and I'll probably hate the gameplay.  I got it because it looks like a Russian designer's attempt to represent a great patriotic moment of the Great Patriotic War.  It took me a while to figure out that there really was an English manual, it was just buried away inside the Steam installation.  I'm looking forward to watching the Russian archive films and a Russian's take on what ruined Stalingrad is supposed to look like.  Too bad it can't be retro-fitted onto CMBB.

Well, the only game I've purchased is Squad, and that isn't on sale. 

I had a few in my cart, but ultimately I realize that I've got such a huge backlog that I can wait until summer and revisit the sales then.  There just isn't anything I have to have right now.
