Guys you have no idea how bad the job market is down here So Cal right now.  Any 16 year old looking for a job is going to be flat out looked over because of the flood of experienced and educated workers looking in desperation for any paying job right now.  Osprey it sounds like you got your head on your shoulders, glad you worked out a solution for WitP, enjoy one of your last free summers before reality hits.

Because, I want the boxed copy and download of Admiral's Edition which is $90 plus $10 shipping and my parents dont want to spent $100 all at once.WitP, I'm getting download only, so I only pay $50 and then the small extend download fee.When I get Admiral's edition in a few weeks I'll get $20 discount so the boxed copy for AE is a more decent price my parents can handle.Plus getting vanilla WitP first allows me to warm up to AE.

Status: offline 		Wow, harsh responses :) I am 47 year old and have been playing computer and strategic war games forever. I feel for the original poster and his issues. $100.00 isn't easy to come by for anyone, especially a 16 year old.

I'll admit I haven't been a devotee of WiTP. I did purchase Uncommon Valor recently, after reading MANY posts and not being able to make a decision on whether or not to purchase WiTP. I have played UV and enjoyed it, but not really become a grognard for the game. I was looking foward to WiTP Admiral's Edition and some updated features.

I looked today and actually had my credit card on my desk, then saw the price! wow.... It causes one to pause and I did put my card away. I won't be purchasing the game for now. I have read MANY of the posts and comments by the publishers on their marketing strategy and why they charge their prices. I believe it comes down to the fact that they know mostly wargame grognards or devotees will buy the games and they need to recoup their investment, so they charge more. I won't argue with some of that logic, but I would purchase the game now for $40 or maybe $50, but $80 or $90 will have to take some serious thought!

I can't imagine being 16 again (wow, was I ever?) and spending that much on a game.

I love a publisher who puts out good war games though.

Matrix - Can I get the discount for having Uncommon Valor, Highway to the Reich and Airborne Assault? Please? Come on.. say yes.

Hell, I even thought about trying that!!

Oh, the reason to go ahead now - War in the East is coming.

I have good news.

Ok, here's the plan:

Parents agreed, I will take advantage of sale and get vanilla WitP tomorrow.Then in mid-August, Mom and dad agreed to get me Admiral's Edition with the $20 discount.

Yesssss!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!!MUAHAHAHHAAAHA!!!


You may have a future in sales, young man.

My comment about the collection was tongue in cheek. There was a joke in there--many of us just paid (gulp) for AE and don't have spare money for more AE buying.

Well earlier someone offered to get me AE until I got the money to get it, which was a serious offer and I turned it down, I figured the person got the idea from your post....

That's a VERY generous offer and speaks volumes about the quality of people on these forums.
It's good that you didn't take it though. No free meals in this world.

Have fun with WITP!
