LOL - I was going to say I thought it was a good deal too.

In my hunt for my Silent Hunter 3 CD (or DVD, I still haven't found it) I
did find the CD I copied Fighting Steel onto, & am having a blast. Graphics
are woeful, but it's still the Best Naval Game Ever (IMHO).

So?

And you explain that WCDB is a fully playable and basically bug free game
whose current version is 1.7... how?

A follow up: so WitP is the beta of the AE? Because, even if on a different
scale, is about this that we are talking about: it is like if Matrix had
offered the upgrate to the AE to the owners of WitP for free.

You could consider buying "Thunder at Sea", the campaign overlay for FS
developed by NWS

I have it, and the Med campaign alone is a blast. There is also a demo on
the site, IIRC.

Which is what Matrix did for registered owners of WWII:RtV, a free
upgrade to WWII:ToW.

I'm happy and even happier that player feedback on the forum has been
incorporated into (free) patches.

It's a good game now - very moddable too.

I'm similarly stunned. What a very classy move.

I think, though, that I'll probably just buy the new version at the
regular price. Classy players like this deserve to get money, and I'm
*very* excited about this game.

You lost him at the first "W"

As a fellow lover of the shenanigans over at Paradox : did you see the
post commenting on Paradox entering the Zombie genre ? The one which
said (not verbatim) : "hordes of brainless zombies milling around
aimlessly? I'm playing that game already". Can't find it anymore -
either it's buried somewhere in all the posts, or else it got
mysteriously mislaid by some moderator

And which part of the below:

WC:NAW v.1.0 = WCDB 1.7 + *FREE* upgrade

....you fail to grasp?
