Is anyone else having trouble getting to the GMT website?  NM, working fine now.

This looks good.  Has anyone tried the Next War games.

I definitely want to.  Poland would be an attractive one for me.

I had no idea.  Very interesting.

Speaking of...


Wing Leader: Supremacy 1943-1945 P500 was just charged today.  So if you want the P500 price, you'll have to order it in the next week, perhaps two.

They charged me $13 for shipping this time.  Not great, but about what I expected.  A bit lower than some of the previous ones I got from them iirc.

I love GMT and I own dozens of GMT games, but their shipping is frustratingly high. I rarely order direct from them anymore.

Got my email charge notification as well.  I haven't had a chance to check the CC statement yet but here's hoping they didn't screw me on exchange rates like last time.

Barthheart

Yep me too... email said they charged me $68 USD... which if the P500 cost was $53 means $15 shipping...to my US address.... so I'll have to go get it at the same time I get Jutland (thanks Stagger!)  :bd:

Silent Disapproval Robot

I got charged $69 USD which my CC converted to $95 CDN (Local game store has pre orders for $85.... :-[).  Conversion rates put the base rate at $92 so I'm not getting screwed like I did with Empire of the Sun.

When I got Silver Bayonet, GMT only charged me $19 for air shipping via UPS to NZ. That's a damn sight cheaper than some other companies. LnL is the only one that's cheaper.

I've had them charge regular slow as hell shipping-via-truck from four states away, within the same country, cost me $16.   :-\

You're getting a steal.

Sorry - their webpage was such a mess (like something from the 90's), I didn't look down the left hand list.  O0
