I purchased the game for $52.99 during the Matrix Games Holiday Sale, which advertised the game as 34% off, so I thought I was getting a pretty good deal. However, now it is two days after the sale ended, and I see the price of the game on the website is still listed as $52.99, even though the sale banners have been removed.

So...I'm curious if I got the sale price or not

I should also mention that I purchased War Plan Orange for $29.99 during the sale as well, and the same story applies.

Mark

ps - Either way, I'm loving both games!

Oh, you bring up a good point I forgot to mention. The prices I mentioned above were for the download versions.

Matrix is advertising for help-wanted, so they might be overwhelmed with clerical to-dos in the office. I'm sure the prices will adjust very soon. Upwards.

Meanwhile, regardless of price I'm really enjoying the game. Or should I say...I'm enjoying figuring out the game. I'm a long time Hearts of Iron player who just discovered WITP-AE and it's pretty daunting. But it looks amazing. Not sure I'll want to go back to HOI anytime soon.

Sure is! Having played the game now, I'd pay twice that amount and still be happy.

Hell, I've already gotten my money's worth...and I'm still figuring out how to play it.

Koei Operation Europe was a close second

Yeah, I installed the latest beta patch right off the bat, along with the WIF map mod...which I have to say is pretty damn cool.

Now I'll probably go through some of the other tools and stuff that people have made and see what I like best.

And get a feeling about the main mechanics of the game giving a read to some AARs you find in the forum-section. LOTS of valuable infos there

Go to the 'Scenario Design and Modding' Section and look up the Art Mods Thread.

There is loads of great stuff there.
