We found some extra copies of Desert Fox Mega Campaign. There are VERY few copies for if you want it now is the LAST chance to get it. Desert Fox 1941 by Bill Wild Man Wilder and as with all of Bill's scenarios this one is top notch and show why Bill Wilder is the master.

If you like to purchase a copy please go to our store. DO NOT DELAY once they are gone do ask we will not have them.

David

Unfortunately wargames are like other computer games with the vast majority of sales coming in the first 6 months. So at this point with orders MCNA at most able to sustain a couple copies per week max, it woould likely be years before we recouped the production costs for another production run.

We are far better off taking that production money and putting it into a new game like Noble Armada that will sell out of its run fairly quickly (we hope) and justify follow on production runs.

The hassle of trying to fill "on-demand" orders that ammount to a handful or two a month just aren't worth the effort.

So I quickly ordered my MCNA and MCWT today (Order ID is MTX55907). Keep up the good work Matrix!!

Status: offline 		Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you want to keep selling MCNA indefinitely, by just reburning the CDs when new orders come in? Is there a technical or legal reason that prevents Matrix from producing more of these CDs?

Status: offline 		Yes, unfrotunately the first printing was with a company that did not have a very good quality control process and we had a large number of "bad disks". So that lot was more or less a waste... thoughts back to those first attempts to get a product out are like a bad dream!! If Murphy could get us...he DID!

Luck has something we have had to make our own supply of, as we have had more than out share of "box - cars" in critical die roll situations...:eek:

Status: offline 		I just purchased MCNA
Do I have to uninstall version 7.1 from my computer before installing MC-Desert Fox.

What do I have to do. Do I have to Install MCNA then all the upgrades then MCLV?

Just looking for a little advice. Thanks.

Isn't it possible to use some kind of system were one pays, and receives a key to download it from your site?

Too bad it'd probably be hacked in 10 minutes after they opened it :(

But I was saying that - since Matrix has the game files on a gold CD somewhere, could they not theoretically just burn their own copies from a pc? I mean if they get 5 requests a week, that's 1 hour tops.

The Mega Campaigns are copyrighted materials and we request that you do not copy our games in any way. If you want to try a Mega Campaign we still have Wild Bill's Operation Watchtower 1942 and Brent Richards Lost Victories 1941. Lost Victories is in very low stock so if you want it get it soon.

Thanks
