Backwards Upgrade

[WhiteOwl]

Saw some mention of this but wasn't sure. Will PC:K upgrade backwards so that if we own both, we can play campaigns/random battles, etc. with PC:OWS maps and equipment? Will the two be combineable? i.e. can we do battles with equipment from both?

Cheers

Yes that is the idea.

Cool, looks like I'll be getting the bundle.

Thanks

Can we get some official comment on this before I buy the bundle?

Erik has already stated this on a thread in this forum.

Here are the scenarios for how you can purchase Kharkov:

1. If you own Winterstorm:
- You will be given an opportunity to purchase Kharkov at a discount

2. If you don't own Winterstorm or Kharkov:
- You will be given an opportunity to purchase them at a combined bundle price that is discounted at the same level as #1
- If you choose to just buy Kharkov on its own without Winterstorm, it will be at the normal price

Here are the installation scenarios:

1. If you own Winterstorm and Kharkov:
- First, install Winterstorm on your system
- Second, install Kharkov on the same system. Kharkov will find Winterstorm and include updated Winterstorm maps and scenarios when it installs.
- You can now play both Kharkov and Winterstorm content by launching Kharkov

2. If you only own Kharkov:
- When Kharkov installs, it will tell you that the Winterstorm content will not be installed and allow you to continue. You will be able to run all the Kharkov scenarios and campaigns as well as the random battles and campaigns, but you will only have one of the Winter maps (the rest are Winterstorm maps) and no Winterstorm historical scenarios or campaigns.
