Couldahh - wouldahh, but in the end naw-w-w-w, Nothing

ORIGINAL: waltero

Nothing.

The games I wanted were not on sale[&:] (Santa frowns upon me). I would rather not go through the hassle of purchasing a game (at full price) that is still in beta...my gaming days are numbered anyhow[X(].
It sickens me to think of the time wasted playing games. To think, all this time I could have been playing games for real! I could have spent more time with my girlfriend and bested her at her own game...drat!!!

Girls are much more fun...gots to play their game[&o]

LOL ... the rules to that game change constantly, they aren't ever the same twice, and you will lose. Stick to war games. They are cheaper, less hassle to change when the new ones come out, and they don't care if you've been playing around with others.

i bought war in the west and operation torch...

Advanced Tactics Gold. Really a great game.
Oh and I figured out how to get it to run in Linux too!

Nothing this year (I've got everything I need) [8D] , next year will probably be a different story! [:)]

- CotD: Unfortunately looks to me more like a dud. Super-clunky interface, No full-screen, no support to my screen resolution...

and

- ATG: More out of curiosity of trying Vic's early work. It looks like a great game, indeed

Got too many games already...that I don't play nor have the time to play near enough. That includes WITP, Civil War 2, CMANO. So I didn't buy anything...

We'eeelllll sorta. At the last minute I scooped up the Steam Sale of Unity of Command Trilogy.

I'm in the same boat as many others here. Didn't get anything. Problem is I already just about everything worth having (from my POV), which is far more games than I have time for anyway. I'm just getting a lot more picky with my new acquisitions. That said, there are a few titles in the pipeline I'm keeping at eye on for sure.

I'm also finding myself a lot more interested in physical board games lately. Wargames and otherwise. There's so much good stuff coming out the last few years. Being able to hold the pieces and roll the dice and all that is really enjoyable.

Purchased WITE and the add ons.
Also was going to get the War in the Pacific but I didnt realize the sale ended in I am assuming the UK time zone? ( I am western canada)

Pandora First Contact and the expansion for it. Fun game.

Nothing this year.
Sadly december was a lean month economy wise [:(]

I have been having a test with COTD. Of course my game play is nothing to write home about.

Nothing here as well, still waiting on Panzer Command West Front as promised years ago by Iain.

Thanks to a very wonderful friend who gave me a gift certificate I was able to fulfill my dream of owning MWiF this Christmas [:)]

That was the only game purchase this year, but it is enough [:)]

It's good to have friends!

Fantasy Kommander, not expensive and a change of pace.
I picked up Drums of War awhile back and was pleasantly surprised so another game to satisfy a Fantasy craving
I wish that I had picked up Conflict of Heroes, saw a you tube video on the game and it looks interesting.
I guess I'll get it the next time it goes on sale.
I also purchased Forge of Freedom, if I like it I plan to give Brothers against Brothers a look in the future

Forge of Freedom.

I got Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations (CMANO). I downloaded and installed the game easily enough, but when I updated it to the latest version it stopped working. I eventually got it running properly after a couple of frustrating hours and two re-installs.

I couldn't read the list of games on sale. The sale list display was unreadable on my machine. I'm not angry, frustrated or even disappointed... they saved me money! Thanks Matrix!

They ended up posting a PDF file you could have downloaded....that should have been readable on any machine that had a PDF reader.

Only if you knew that they made one later on. But you have to wonder why they eliminated simple text on the web page this year.

(Actually, that's rhetorical. All companies like to to fix what works (until is doesn't).)

I bought Kharkov: Disaster on the Donets
