I think this one is order from the publisher only. you can Download, or order a copy from them.

[lord of the mark]

its pretty rare to have a "wargame" (IE a relatively realistic strat game about an actual historic conflict) get shelfspace in bricks and mortar, at least in the chains. HOI, Axis and Allies (whatever you think of its realism) and a few others are exceptions.

Thanks

I have never done this, has anyone ordered from this company and do you know if they are reputable?

Thanks

Well can't vouch for their honesty but they're a long established company. You could also try Matrix who look like they have a distribution deal

Matrix Games


edit for typo.

Matrix Games sell boxed copies of the game just like any high street store, so if you don't like downloads you can buy the boxed copy. The game seems to have been released in some countries like France, Germany, Spain, Poland, Russia but for some reason not UK or USA or over here. I think console games are so popular in these places now PC is harder to get in to shops. These days your credit card usually protects you from any bad web purchases so I think there is little risk.

Thanks one and all, I am sold!!

I ordered a copy of the game and will share as I enjoy some screenshots and such in coming weeks!

I really appreciate the feedback!!

Got the game and love it!!

I captured Poland and Italy has joined me.

New to this so many early decisions I probably have missed.

I have to read the booklet, just curious, I am Germany, is Berlin the only city to produce units from? (I say that because how do I produce water craft?)

Second, I am taking that once you possess land you possess the resources?

Thanks to all, this is a great game so far!

Oh and one other thing, Italy joined me, can i produce units within Italy or do they all come from Germany?

In addition, can I demand/ask for the Italian resources, or do they come as part of the Axis Alliance?

This game reminds me sort of the Playstation version of Civilization II where I cut my teeth!

I am so glad I stumbled upon it, very nice!

I am building up for my intended showdown with Russia.

This is pretty awesome, for when warring with Russia, as many commanders over the trevails of the years have learned, you get penalized for the Harse Winters...

[Grandpa Troll]

England constantly does air strikes on my units in Eastern Europe, so instead of building support units in France, I am building up my Bomber Wing to take them out .

This game is very nice if anyone enjoys some good intense strategy

Bought this yesterday. The graphics are very reminiscent of the original PG.

A lot to get to grips with. One minor hitch is that it won't run from the desktop icon with Vista - I have to go into the game folder and click "run as administrator" on the exec file.

Seems pretty good if you like this sort of thing (as I do).

Yeah, I went to the Matrix Forums and they have a decent feedback from members on some issues as well!
