<t> Thanks for the response. As a gamer who started with Tactics II, and who has attempted to play Campaign for North Africa, your comparisons struck a chord. I remember owning three games back in my boardgaming days that I never came close to finishing, War in Europe, War in the Pacific, and CFNA ...

As one who is trying to decide whether to buy, I have been completely confused by the love-hate relationship the board has with this game. Should I wait for the next patch to decide?

I would love to have this to update my old 5.0 Megacampaign and get the rest, but download is not an option (56k). Earlier posts have indicated CD shipment to be unreliable. Is this still a problem? I can't spend the $$ if I'm not going to get a quick CD in the mail.

<t>I think Mogami is on the right track.

<t>I wanted the latest version without the download, so I ordered Watchtower. I saw Desert Fox was about to sell out, so I ordered it. By that time, I decided I might as well get Lost Victories. Restraint has never been a strong point...<br/>
I suspect I'll be asking some very dumb questions late ...

I also have a slow modem and probably could not handle such a download. Mark another vote for a CD.

<t>I am a refugee from Talonsoft games. Since Talonsoft was conquered by the Borg, the only good games I have found are the Panzer Campaigns at HPS. Now I have stumbled on this site and see some great names from my wargaming past.<br/>
At this price, it has to be right to try a Megacampaign. Which ...
