Paradox War Chest being offered for $7.49 at Amazon.com

[Greybriar]

I posted this in the Grognati Sales Thread, but I wanted to make sure no one missed seeing this.

Amazon is offering Paradox War Chestfor $7.49 U.S. It includes:

• Hearts of Iron III Collection
  
• Achtung Panzer Kharkov 1943
  
• Gettysburg: Armored Warfare
  
• King Arthur Collections
  
• King Arthur II
  
• Victoria II
  
• Victoria II: A House Divided
  

There are some downsides. 1)The games activate on Steam, so if you don't like Steam you are out of luck. 2)Achtung Panzer Kharkov 1943 may not work on Windows 7. 3)Paradox shut down the online servers for Gettysburg: Armored Warfare so there are no online games available.

Otherwise I don't see how anyone could possibly go wrong for $7.49!

If you have Windows 7 and the steam version of  Victoria 2 won't run, the fix is to delete the map cache folder.  The purpose of this is to clear the old version cache when running a new version. The game creates new cache on start-up.

c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\victoria2\maps\cache

if you have 64 bit windows check the program files (x86) directory instead.
