Thanks guys, I think I'm gonna go out and get another Steam Card and grab both FOG2 and Bomber Crew!  :bd:

Bomber Crew has a bigger sale (-29 %) at Gamersgate : $10.70

YA buy all of them :)

Don't forget just return the ones you don't like after 2 hours or 2 weeks......

Very interesting...I'm at the FoG II/Bomber Crew decision-fork also.  I own P&S and think it's a good game, thus I know that FoGII will be be good.  However, isn't it essentially just P&S with different skins?

New shiny skins. But P&S doesn't cover the era so they aren't competitors. If you liked the P&S gameplay and ancient era, then it's a definite buy.

It plays quite a bit differently, too, especially since 80% of the units in P&S are shooty and have unlimited ammo. The cavalry in P&S is also quite a bit different. Only skirmishers and artillery are very shootey in FoG2, and they have 5 shots before they become very weak.

Thanks chaps, good to know.  I admit I was being a bit facetious with my comments, but there are games out there which offer essentially the same experience as others from the same stable.  For example Rising Storm and Rising Storm Vietnam have quite a few different mechanics, but to play one is pretty much to play the other.

Anyhoo, it turns out I'm holding my fire on both these games for the moment as I've just got into Advanced Tactics Gold and that will keep me busy for the foreseeable future I reckon...

Strategic Command: WWII is a quality game, too,, Tuna. Maybe you need three Steam cards?  \m/

[Tuna]

lol, and it is on sale again!.. I'm definitely enjoying Bomber Crew and Field of Glory II I will say.  O0

Bomber Crew has a new update that calms things down a bit. You can slow the game down periodically to avoid being overwhelmed.

....but....there is a fatal flaw. When you don't have your navigator in his seat, you can't change direction. According to many, this is a show stopper.

[CJReich46]

I'm in that dilemma myself.

FOG II or Utopia DLC (?)

I still plan on getting FOG II even if I miss the sale. 

[Tuna]

on sale now right? get fog!

[CJReich46]

on sale now right? get fog!

Payday is this Friday. I'll probably grab FOG II (maybe spring for the manual?)

[Father Ted]

Matrix/Slitherine sale (25% off anything) ends tomorrow...

Thanks for the reminder, grabbed Strategic Command last night!

[Father Ted]

Yeah, I grabbed FoGII.  Bomber Crew can wait until a Steam sale

I'm on a bit of a strategic kick at the moment, but if I have WitW, is there any reason to get this as well?
