btw, anyone know how 'Scourge of War' series performs on old (7+ years) hardware?

Should run fine : https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/scourge-of-war-waterloo/12996

You could always try the demo (http://www.scourgeofwar.com/downloads.shtml) for Scourge of War: Gettysburg.
Other Scourge of War games should have similar (low) requirements.

Selling games like that at such a price should be illegal !

Yes it is worth it.

You can get more or less the same price at Matrix (and also get a steam key) http://www.matrixgames.com/store/product.asp?gid=372
(bigger part of the profit goes to Matrix)

Is the AI any good or is the game only really good as MP?

A little of topic, but this starts to bother me a bit :

We already imported Halloween a couple of years ago.


Now this Friday many shops have a Black Friday sale.

BUT I live in Belgium and we don't have Thanksgiving !!
Most people I talk with don't even know the origin of it.

Sales marketing can go a bit too far.

End of rant.

It looks like Steam has started their sale. Almost everything on my wish list is now discounted. It wasn't like that yesterday.

Yeah, Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa is only $19.49. I think I need to buy it!  :o

You do - it's fantastic. There's so many other things to do than just move chits about. You really have to think about decisions and read reports and care about what's going on.

It's especially annoying in that it's expanding faster than my ex did.  Now there's pre-Black Friday and Black Friday week, Black Friday in July, etc.  Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to buying stuff I don't have any use for.
