Hmmm discount. Might pick up a spare file to offer to the 'other guy' who is usually a friend that just won't cooperate and buy it to play against me.

Didn't expect a sale option to be handy so soon though

I suppose I should ask, as someone will eventually. Will the notion of free Stream keys for owners of Panzer Corps being used with the Steam release of Panzer Corps be used with the Steam release of Battle Academy for it's account holders ?

Will the expansions for BA also be on offer do you know?

The plan is to give Steam keys for all games we release on Steam.

The expansions for BA will be coming soon. The plan is to release them April 23rd.

So cool. This and Panzer corps are the best turn based war games that money can buy, and I loves them.

Thought you might have mentioned that Ian, was just unsure. It is super of course

Ok - will this mean that we can still play games via the Slith server? I cannot stand Steam ... it takes way too long to launch and I know it would never work on my laptop.

I had Total War: Napoleon and it ran in Steam ... the speed to launch the game was pitiful ... I uninstalled it ... any time I wanted to even play the game SOLO the Steam server interface would come up ...

Steam client is only required for those who have purchased or installed the game via Steam.

All Steam users will be playing through the Slitherine PBEM++ server so there should only be benefits to the community.

Great, Iain, good to hear this.
