WITP:AE, daily turns, that's not a game, that's a lifestyle choice.....to much game for me, i yield. I did look at WIF, the map pack, i like a good map but don't know where i could hang it, 9ft tall :o

I'm looking at Guns of August, people swear by Frank Hunters games, also Piercing Fortress Europa but the Italian theater isn't my favorite. might fill out my FOG2 DLC, and pick up Sanctus Reach for some fun pbem. Sanctus Reach looks like it plays a bit like BA and BA2 and FOG2 which are all a lot of fun pbem.

What about OOB? I bought one DLC to test out pbem, and the pbem is more fun than Panzer Corps but the DLC's don't seem to add a lot to MP and the product descriptions don't really say what the DLC's add to MP. Anyone know?? i have no interest in the SP game in OOB.

WitP:AE  you nailed it budd. I never got beyond January 1942, and that was after many, many hours of play. The UI is nothing short of tedious.

Guns of August: I saw an AAR on Facebook recently and the player, and then other posters, praised the game.  The reviews I saw online were very critical.  I've been eying this one for a long time. Just not sure.

I know all of those words but I can't make any sense this statement.

So far I've picked up 3 older titles I would normally no longer get:
       Battles in Normandy (SSG)
       Steel Panthers World at War, Generals Edition
       Hornet Leader
And, as is usual, I'll probably hardly look at any of them. I think we move on much too quickly these days. too many games, not enough time.
It's just like having A.D.D.

Guns of August is a good design.  I enjoyed it, and thought it was worth the time.  WitP:AE is good, albeit you do have to invest A LOT of time in the game.

Not enough time to play the too many games? No, it's still a little fuzzy.  :coolsmiley:

Me too, got the genes for it and my only vice is video games just have to mix a workout in and I might just achieve the goal.

^I have a couple of grandmothers and great grandmothers who pushed the mid-90s but not beyond that.

We can do it! I know it. I work out like I am in prison so I am hoping it pays off.

Somehow seeing games like WITW, WITE and WITPAE discounted that much just doesn't feel right to me  :-[

Hah, that's exactly what I thought when I saw those prices.

No issues from me on the heavy discounts. Buy now or wait for a sale, or wait for a better sale, the age old dilemma. I remember when they started these Matrix sales when most things were at 30% off, with a few things 50%. They took some criticism for it not being much of a sale, while steam and other outlets were going with bigger discounts.
