Oh - you see now I could start a whole new thread about games companies who don't listen beginning with. God knows I have funded more than my share over the last 3 decades - just keep your fingers crossed that they listen. We are just the poor saps who fund the mistakes (and anything that looks vaguely like it has promise). well lets just say there is a lot going on behind the scenes that you don't really need to worry about - but its really cool.Īnd maybe one thing - remember some of the people involved in game production no nothing - so they make mistakes. No the small fee isn't to correct the things we got wrong in the first release - its for all the cool new stuff like. there will be a patch along shortly that allows you to do the things you wanted it to do originally so long as you pay an additional small fee.Ħ. It was never something that happened during the war.Īnd 5. Anyone with military experience can actually offer no opinionĤ. There is a lot of work in what you are asking.ģ. You haven't considered all the possible effects of what you are asking.Ģ. What you need now are some Decision Games fanboys to come along and tell you:ġ. You can't make sense of it and all your points are valid. It's 2015 and this is the future where everything is available as a download.Īt the risk of understating my agreement with your post - the answer is no. I emailed them about this and they said they may consider it in the future. The cost of the postage and handling to get it to me is almost half the price of the game itself! Even if I did order it, I would still have to wait a week or two for it to arrive, knowing that if I could just download it it would take less than 10sec. Maybe it needs the DVD in to play (again very old school) but for a game of it's type surely the total size of the game is no more than perhaps a few 100mb if that. The game specs says you need 32mb of space to install it. Where is any sense of logic in that? What decade do these guys think it is? Are they that backwards? I find it almost insulting that they would expect this from their customers. Now I congratulate Decision Games on making the game, but what could they have possibly been thinking when they decided that the best way to distribute the game is to make it available as a physical DVD only and charge $24.95 + p&h for it? However, when I went to order it I saw that the only option was to order a physical DVD of the game, paying for all the postage and handling of course. I had actually thought myself what it would be like to essentially "automate" the solitaire mechanics of this game so that the player is freed of all the gameplay housekeeping an rule checking. When I heard that Decision Games was working on a full-on PC version of this game, I certainly was interested. The actual solitaire game play design and mechanics of this game is really quite clever. There is a great solitaire (board) game called D-Day at Omaha Beach by Decision games that I have played via a Vassal mod (basically a PC interface for board games).
