Winter Sales 2023

[Barthheart]

WDS has almost everything they publish on sale. Tempted by a couple of titles there

Matrix has a big sale on now. The Battlefront CM games are on for 40% off plus another 10% if you buy the bundles. Normandy and Fortress Italy looking tempting there.

So many game so little money!

It occurred to me after I posted that reply that you probably opened this up as a more general winter sale thread beyond just a specific company

Sorry 🫤

[Barthheart]

Yeah, trying to see what people are getting sucked into. 

[Doctor Quest]

I really just need to go through my GOG library of 500+ games before I buy anything else.

I know. Blasphemy.

[bbmike]

I'll most likely pick something up from WDS this year. Thirty Years War looks mighty tempting.

Yoda told me, "Begun the Steam Winter Sale has. Control Padawan, you must learn CONTROL". 

[Barthheart]

Yep… so far Call to Arms: Gates of Hell - Ostfront… I blame Tuna for that one.

[Sir Slash]

I'm looking real hard at Carrier Battles 4 after I saw there's a new Indian Ocean Raid DLC for it. Love to check-out some of the Brit's equipment.

I was trying to get the old Talonsoft Age of Sail running on my Win 10 rig. Not having much luck until....

...I stumbled across this on sale....

https://www.matrixgames.com/game/john-tillers-battleground-napoleonic-wars

It includes a Win 10 compatible version of AOS as well as a PDF manual (which I was also missing).

[Sir Slash]

That takes me back some.

I decided to treat myself to Campaign Chickamauga and the Mexican-American War from WDS before the new year budget kicked in.
