Yep, I don't really have a lot of wants so not sure I'll pick up much, if anything....only things thinking about is getting CMANO DLC to complete my collection and MAYBE Eagle Day Bombing.....
Make sure you get the awesome map mod for Eagle Day if you pick it up.

The map mod was officially integrated into the product, i.e., is no longer a mod but is the new standard, no?
Not the whole mod, some things were left out, all I remember right now that was left out is the color coded planes. There's a post over there about what was put in from the mod.

If you can't get on the Matrix site (I can't), most of what's on sale is on sale on Steam as well and easily viewed.

In previous years, the sale info was in a PDF you could download.  During the one time I could view the links, there didn't seem to be any pdf this time.  Major headache for their servers.

Havent successfully got into the links at all...however, you can go directly to the store, but I really did like the previous year's PDF to see everything in one spot.  At least all their issues are keeping me from spending money, which I probably would have on something:)

so how tedious is this game to play?  concerned it might overwhelm me.

Finally got into the holiday link.

Looking at Commander: Napoleon at War for PBEM. Can anybody with recent experience tell me if the game runs on Win10, has widescreen resolution 1920x1080, and any game breaking bugs. I'm enjoying Commander the Great War PBEM so hoping this is a similar experience.

Thanks, just pretty much confirmed not a lot I am looking to purchase...just maybe what I originally thought Eagle Day and some CMANO stuff....but that is not a lock either.

I kind of recommend skipping ahead to his Part 2 once you've watched the "turn" flow for a while. He doesn't talk about game mechanics much in this video.

Anyone playing War Plan Orange still? For 10.00 I am very tempted.

Haven't played it in a long time, but it's a lot of interesting gameplay for $10.
