I have tried everything to--and trust me,I have ripped it up and down-- get this to work on my laptop/Vista and its a no-go--are there any known issues with Decisive campagins Warsaw to Paris--and if not can I get a credit and pay the difference before the sale runs out?

I have tried to purchase a couple of games from your online store... I keep getting errors. The website lets me fill out my contact and billing information but fails when I hit submit. Something about a "scheduled maintenance"... I would normally think nothing of it, but this has been going on since Friday.


Edit... This only seems to occur when you use Paypal... I finally got it to work with a credit card.

Thanks for the sale, I wasn't willing to pay full price even after liking the demo. But now that I see the full game, with good support, editor, user campaigns, modding capabilities and open beta I should have join sooner.

The game is great for me, I love turn based games (mostly tactical ones) and this touches the sweet spot between good gameplay and enough complexity/realism. Will spread the word as much as I can, keep on with the superb work.

Talking about Battle Academy btw :lol:
