Deal of the Week...great deals!

[rickier65]

Yes. This is excellent game and there are some player created scenarios as well. I have the first two, but I will be picking up Greece this week as well.

Thanks

They could get some hate mail from the missus.... [:D]

Heading to the store to pick up Greece when I noticed the above.

$10 coupon???? Where does one get a $10 coupon. That'd bring Greece down to $4.99!!!! [&o]

[wodin]

If you own COTA you put the COTA serial number in the coupon box:)

[Ranger33]

Time to get Greece for me as well!

This week's deal "Napoleon in Italy" makes it's second appearance on Deal of the Week. A very interesting period in history and a very historical game. Random events for good replay ability, an editor and guided tutorial (for players like me!)...definitely a good buy. [:)]

I would like to see these games in future Deal of the Week:
1. Battle of Britain II - Wings of Victory
2. Decisive Campaigns: Case Blue
3. Espana 1936
4. Field of Glory and add-ons
5. Frozen Synapse
6. Gary Grigsby's Eagle Day to Bombing the Reich
7. Strategic War in Europe
8. WW2: Time of Wrath
None of these games have been on the Deal of the Week yet. [:(]
Happy Gaming Everyone!

This week's deal "Revolution Under Siege" makes it's second appearance on the Deal of the week. It is a wonderful and compelling historical game of the Russian Civil War form 1917 to 1923 and an excellent buy. [:)] It also got good reviews...it's a no-brainer purchase!

+1 on Revolution Under Siege. I wouldn't say it's the 'best' of the AGEOD games (that would be Alea Jacta Est IMHO), but it's certainly the most interesting to play, again IMHO obviously.

Not sure about some of the deal of the week candidates, though. Stuff like Time of Wrath and Frozen Synapse needs a permanent price drop as everyone else is practically giving them away. On the other hand, Case Blue and Eagle Day would be insta-buys for me.

My personal choice would be Hornet Leader as I'm currently well into the Phantom and Thunderbolt/Apache boardgames, but I'm probably in a small minority on that one!

Yes, Hornet Leader is one that I would purchase also. [:)] Do you play other board wargames? Who is that for your avatar?

Patrick

Rarely 'proper' wargames other than solo these days due to scarcity of opponents. I play others with my family though; Firefly, Race for the Galaxy, Arkham Horror and such.

The avatar is Art Tatum, the god of jazz piano and a personal hero of mine.

Yes I give Revolutions Under Siege a strong thumbs up too. I have spent many good hours playing PBEM. A very under-represented period in history as well.

I also would like to see the Eagle's Day to Bombing the Reich go on sale. I bought the original Battle of Britain way back in the Talonsoft days. No clue how these decisions get made so tossing in a vote if they are to be counted.

Dan, I'm keeping a list of what has been on sale for the "Deal of the Week". I think all of the games they have published should be on the sale over time and Eagle's Day to Bombing the Reich has not been on sale yet. [:(] Hopefully it will in the future. [:)]

The future is now! [:)]

This week's deal "Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing the Reich" makes it's debut on Deal of the Week! I've been waiting for this one for quite awhile...Thank You! [:)] I didn't realize it was one of Talonsoft's games, Talonsoft really introduced me to modern (today's) computer war gaming [&o]...you've got one week to jump on this one!

Patrick

[DanSez]

Well it looks like someone was listening -- I am certainly going to pick it up. Hope a few more do too.

Yes Talonsoft had some great games
Veliki Luki (sp?)
Normandy Invasion

and I believe that the Campaign Series East Front/West Front and Rising Sun were Talonsoft too in the beginning

Tally ho chaps! [8D]

[Rosseau]

$10 - maybe. I read every thread on this game and nothing remotely convinced me of considering a purchase. Even the guys who really knew their stuff had a difficult time figuring out any kind of coherent strategy. Even hot-seating it showed no pattern but some bugs. Matrix doesn't deserve $1 on this one. It just ain't right [;)]

But please, feel free to prove me wrong on this.
