Does the download include the PDF manuals?

Here it is November 7th and there's no link to be able to actually purchase World in Flames. A real disappointment after having to wait so long, now we have to wait for Matrix to get it's act together to actually price and sell the game online. I'm not surprised that the game may be too big to download, but there's no excuse to promote a date of sale and not have the product sales site ready to sell this product. Matrix deserves a big fail for not having this game ready for sale when Matrix said it would be.

Well, the big fail is that you do not or can not understand that last minute glitches occur in the physical world.

Perhaps then they should not put it up on the buy board yet.(or better yet just take it off until it is able to be purchased) I don't mind the wait, but perhaps be professional about it. Would much rather see nothing up until its good to go. Really not asking to much. But that's just me.
Maybe they are still trying to figure out the final price.[:D]

The game description has been up for quite a while. It did not just pop up today. It is called marketing. They want people to know the game is about to be released and what you will get with it.

If they had NOT put this page up over a month ago, then people would be complaining about why there was no information about the game and what you would be getting. So it it obvious that no matter what Matrix did, someone would have an issue [:@].

This is why I never want to work in retail (and hope I never do [:)])

My bad - guess I never notice the buy button and it being on the front page under new release all these weeks.[8|]
I am sorry I expected more from a company for a major launch. - I do now see they finally issued a statement as to what is going on so we the customer now understand the delay. I thank them for this.
Now lets get the game and take it out on each other on the battlefield. [:D]

Successful Order and Download

Post by Omnius »

I tried again about 4 hours later and indeed I was able to successfully order the boxed version and download the game. The download took an hour, as stated in the download advice. As the saying goes, better late than never. Thanks for getting the game ready for sale on the day promised, even if not quite as early as I would have liked. [:D] Sorry for the hasty beef earlier, am now a happy camper. Now the World in Flames War can begin.

Advice for Plimus: Under the "Important" download instructions please correct "we advice" to we advise".

I decided to pass on the $75 map set, didn't take my car out of the garage to play the board game so no reason to buy the new map set since I'll never use it. The whole reason for waiting so long for the computer version was to be able to play it without having to use my whole garage to set it up.
