I finally bought War Plan Pacific.  I hope I get the time to play it.

Isn't war plan just $5 off?  You guys are much stronger than me since if I wanted a game $5 difference wouldn't have made me hold off this long:)

The real strong ones are waiting for Shrapnel's 25% off sale. 

Which has never happened.  :P

I didn't realize Shrapnel was so easily influenced as by a dead calendar system switching over to it's long-count  equivalent  of  the "new year" holiday.  ;D

War Plan Pacific is awesome. Just buy it.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Really? I figured that Dominion 3 was the only awesome game in Shrapnel's arsenal.

Bronze is actually a fun little game, too.

+1 with Dominions 3. Crappy graphics, but a truly amazing game. :)

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

I was looking at getting Dominions3 but it says it's out of stock.  Kind of weird that a download is out of stock.   ???

I guess the distribution deal between the dev (Illwinter) and Shrapnel is over. This was posted on the Illwinter page last month :

QuoteDominions 3 is no longer sold by Shrapnel Games, so it is difficult to buy right now. However we intend to sell Dominions 3 on Desura as soon as possible, hopefully December 1st.

And it is now available on Desura.

LOL. Last price on Shrapnel - $54.95
Price on Desura - $29.58

It's awesome. Here's my review from years ago: http://wargamer.com/article/2641/war-plan-pacific

Make sure you note my win in Oct '42. I still have no earthly idea of how I managed that.

In fact, I'm so proud of that, I'm going to post the screenshot here!

Apparently the game has a very weak AI.  :P
