I will say that the download speed is massively improved over the past.

One note: The patch in members area did not work for me. I had to use the link in the forum.

Thanks

For some mystirious reason, it seems we don't get a steam key for that game.

If I am not mistaken, the key you got from Matrix can directly be used to redeem within Steam...have you tried that?

The serial number of Polaris Sector can also activate the game on your Steam account.

Still amazed at a few of the old game prices that are still around the $20 range here.

But this year sure has a nice crop of choices. Alas, my holiday is already a done deal.

Some major events happening in my 2017 so I'm already fairly spoken for in several ways. Short of a gift out of nowhere I will be shocked to see a war game purchase till NEXT holiday sale. Oh well, 2017 is going to be a great year regardless.

Panzer Corps Gold
Crown of Glory: Emperor's Edition
Wars of Napoleon

I am reading a book on the art of war of Napoleon and would like to play a little in this period.
Since I can't decide between COGEE and WON, I take both.

I bought the same thing. For the price I see a lot of return on my investment

I recommend Hannibal. I think you'll like the game play better.

unless you like "reading" the outcomes of your combat then you'll like Ageod games better.

Hannibal has a "hands on" tactical play of the battle? That would be better.
