Status: offline 		ooh great deals this week for those who like the Napoleonic Era - Napoleon is Italy is a freaking good game, - i found its tactical battles really nicely done
but you need to run it with some compatibility settings if you are using windows 7 at least i found that disable visual themes and desktop composition really helped, and also set fps to 8 in the game menu- then it plays good without any freezing

i bought it though a few weeks ago d'oh! but Empire in Arms i will get although it is one that probably still needs some further patching i have heard

Wow you got in early! But yes, happy 4th July to our American cousins .



P.S You obviously haven't read the small print re the "most blessed country" - everyone knows that's the UK

I think that showed great foresight on their part. Its a bit like Mary having the good sense to give birth to Jesus on Christmas Day - great timing!

Patrick

PS. I just ordered Battlefront, sure looks good!

One of the better games out there!! You have to put a little time into it to learn it all but it is worth it. Ageod has a forum devoted to it and it has a lot of followers. They are coming out with ACW 2 supposedly this year, and is in beta right now! I'm already planning on buying it up fast. I think it has a product page here somewhere as well that gives screenshots.

Thanks Kurt for the information, it is much appreciated and I look forward to getting into "American Civil War - Blue & the Gray" in the future. I will definitely look into "ACW 2" also! Happy Gaming!

I've got all but one of John Tiller's game creations published by Matrix...my upcoming retirement is really looking sweet with all these Deal of the Week games...now I will have to find time playing all of them!

Hi guys

sorry but we have let this one roll over because of Historicon. We are frantically trying to catch up and left the current deal live for another week. Hopefully normal service will resume next week!
