How much

[wiking62]

Fairly disappointed with the price. I thought it was going to be around the £40-£45 mark. Not for me too pricey.

104$ for digital download.. Gotta love living in EU. I guess i'll be waiting past christmas.

Yeah, gotta love the EU. By the way, how is that fair and wonderful VAT working out[:D].

Hopefully we can stop our slow slide into becoming like Europe(my home country is the USA, only spend part of the year in the UK). Good luck on getting the game soon.

Well, that's not strictly speaking 100% true, if you're unlucky.

What do you mean?

Zemke_4, right back at ya. I still have Fire in the East in my game room, all set up. Another game that's been set-up for years is "The Campaign for North Africa", SPI. I have two sets of each game, one ready to play and the other...never opened. People have offered a lot of money for those unopened games.

Anyway, the thread is no longer fun with so little whining. So I will get my entertainment by returning to the perfectly priced WitE and my approaching victory over the Slavic hoards.

I was hoping the price would be a lot higher.  [X(]

As it is I worked for about 10 cents and hour.  Some others like Andy probably were working for 1 cent an hour.  If they had jacked up the price it would have been easier to justify all the time I spent to my wife. [:'(]

[hgilmer3]

The way I look at it is this game is twice the price of other games I've bought, but I'll play it way more than twice as long as I've played other games.  I paid about $30 for a game recently and have played it about 3 hours.  Not really worth it for me.

This game will work out to a much better time for amount paid.  So, in reality, the $30 game was not worth it.

Edit: Plus, I'll actually ENJOY playing this game as I'm playing it.

Its going to be a shade over 94 dollars for me...Thats with the manual. While I have never spent that much on a pc game I have dropped more on board games.....If I get anything approaching 60 or so hours(and I see no reason I shouldn't) I will be content. My threshold for good entertainment is about $1.25
per hour...

Judge? You bought this game after you balked so much about the price of BftB? I am really surprised.

Different scope of content.
It's easier to justify the price to a monster game than to a game set on one operation.

Your spot on elmo3. But I am using a slightly different approach with my wifey. Since I spent such a HUGE amount on a game, it would be foolish not to play it. She does not like wasting money(meaning me indulging in my hobbies) so I will most likely be allowed to play for hundreds and hundreds of hours before she decides to put a stop to the madness.

Or do you think I am fantasizing??

Price is lower than I expected![:D] Hope this does not mean that quality of printed manual is reduced. [&:]

I told my wife that all guys have hobbies. Mine doesnt involve Golf paraphenalia, fees and weekends away from the house.

arrrrrgh.. pulled the trigger!!!. First time I've ever spent this much on a game!!!.. but it looks Sooooo Gooood!.. Russian Front here we come!

[paullus99]

Add to the initial release - you'll also get access to all of the user-created scenarios & artwork that are sure to be created (at no charge to the player). As any economist would say - it is all about "opportunity cost" what you are willing to pay vs. what else you could purchase for the same amount.

£65 is over my "normal" limit of £50 for a game - but I was expecting it this time and also held off purchases of other games in order to get this

Bearing in mind that the price includes 17.5% VAT (UK tax), a physical copy and delivery,

Have you checked that? The download only option cost me £53.99 plus VAT, total £63.44.

ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins

VAT is included before the final purchase. Please e-mail me with your order info if you have questions.

Hmm not convinced. It looks like VAT is not being added for the physical copy on purchase? So I'm tempted to order the boxed and hope that it doesn't get stopped by the Customs/Post Office. Since its coming from within the EU then its pretty unlikely for it to happen as they will assume that that VAT/Customs has been paid automatically.

Of course IF it does get stopped then not only do I have to pay VAT, I also have to pay an administration charge. It was £8 when I got caught the last time.

[Erik Rutins]

I hear you - I have Judge's order info and am checking with the store to make sure everything is working as intended.

You can only really analyze the "worth" of a game when it finally comes off your hard drive - how many hours did you spend with it?

Very true. I have bought all 17 HPS Panzer Campaigns titles at £29.99 each over the years and they are all still on my hard drive and are played regularly. I have bought three Matrix titles, all more expensive, and none are on my hard drive.

This game looked interesting, but not at any price. I'm happy with my choice not to purchase, plus I prefer battalion\regimental level games anyway.
