Thank you for the sale! 
But shouldn't Gary Grigsby's War in the West have a bigger discount than 30% ?

Cudos to Matrix Games for recognizing Gary Grigsby's 40th anniversary since his game Guadalcanal Campaign. His games have been a big part of my life, literally tens of thousands of hours. Thank you Gary.
Re: 40 years of Wargaming - Gary Grigsby's anniversary
I'm wondering who thought it was a good idea to charge more for GG's War Between the States on its own than for DLC for GG's War in the East.. which currently includes the former for free as well.
Was it to make the offer seem more valuable??

So... Is the header graphic from any particular Grigsby game...?
Re: 40 years of Wargaming - Gary Grigsby's anniversary
Cool idea, will be watching!
Re: 40 years of Wargaming - Gary Grigsby's anniversary
Steel Tigers maybe?

Happy birthday Gary, still playing WITE number 1 and looking more and more at WITE number 2. Will wait first DLC to jump in I think.

Was War Plan Orange: Dreadnoughts in the Pacific 1922 - 1930 not a Gary Grigsby game? Would be nice to see that included on that sale, too. Please?
Re: 40 years of Wargaming - Gary Grigsby's anniversary
Do I need to add War Between the States to my shopping cart to get it for free, or will it be sent automatically?
Re: 40 years of Wargaming - Gary Grigsby's anniversary
It is automated. Just add another game and it is in the shopping card for free.

Just don't use a promo code, or the price will go up!

Cant purchase game. Keep getting ERROR message when processing at check out.
Happens on a PC (Win 10), iPAD and Android Smartphone. Used 2 different credit cards and attempted purchase at MATRIX ad SLITHERINE! AND... Attempted purchase as Member and GUEST!!!
I have a support ticket in (2022071310000519) but want to take advantage of the sale price. Hence my impatience.
Cant be anti virus since iPad and Android have different OS then PC.
As I recall this happened a ways back before but do not remember how this was resolved.

When you say you texted support, did you e-mail support@matrixgames.com? The store is working, so I would suggest trying a different browser and making sure nothing on the site is being blocked.
