Status: offline 		I don't mean that as a flame. Just trying to give honest feedback from the part of the audience that doesn't feel invited by Matrix Games. I've bought and played a number of strategy titles, some of them from Matrix. I'd love to try out one of the recent Close Combat titles, doesn't have to be the latest. By trying out I mean a demo or buying a discounted older title at say $19.99 - I'm willing to spend that much in the dark. Unfortunately it seems I'm out of luck. I understand this is a free country and everyone can sell their product any way they like. Just saying the current way will not result in a purchase from me. It seems like the publisher is interested in targeting the existing audience but not so much expanding it.

Thank you for your attention
potential customer

Status: offline 		Even though Cross of Iron and Wacht am Rhein are older by release date, they´re not old enough gameplay wise to warrant a substantial decrease in price. Personally I enjoy Wacht am Rhein the most because it´s the battle of the bulge. You´ll have to decide if it´s worth the price tag or not.

About the expand part, I see your point but don´t think they´d make more money in the end by dropping prices.

Status: offline 		Thank you. How similar are the old demos to the new series in terms of gameplay mechanics? Is this mostly just a graphics update or are there bigger changes?
