Hi,

Thanks for developing such a game. I am very much looking forward to playing it.

At present the game is sold only via the download option. Will the Physical Shipment option also become available? And if so, when? Or does buying the game now also warrants that the physical game will be shipped to the buyer's address when available?

Thanks for your reply, cheers,

Dirk

At the moment the game is purely a digitial download. We will almost certainly have retail releases but in which countries and when is very much TBD at this stage, but this is separate to the digital version. As soon as we have any details on this we'll let you know but there is nothing immimnent to annouce.

I'm going crackers here. I can't buy this game. I'm going to the store, click on CNAW I go to the purchase page, click on checkout and get a message that there is nothing in my shopping cart. Help !!!

Try this: remove from your purchase screen any order (with the litter bin icon), now do not reload the page. Go out of the shop, re-enter the Slitherine site again fresh, go to the shop and try again.

Cheers,

Sorry you are having problems - can you tell us which link you are using exactly so we can see if there is a route to the shop that's not working as intended. We can see it is working for some as the orders are flooding in :)

Thanks guys. I subsequently tried the store on another of my computers and was able to complete the purchase. It seems likely therefore that something is screwed up on the first machine - maybe its security settings or something of that ilk.

Hello boys !

I'm a french player and a fan of Commander : Europe at War (I'm also bad in english...)

Commander : Napoleon at War interested me; but, i have a question : Ok, this game is only available in online (Here or in Matrix Games); but, what are the game language? English?

I cannot have pleasure to play in english game... A french patch is planned? Or this setting is editable in the game directly?

I hope be clear xD

Thanks you

For those who seek a greater challenge, turn Fog of War and Advanced Weather on. As an alternative turn on At Random Science Research, although I like managing it myself.
And change the Advantage setting in favour of the AI.

The game is so much more fun, scouting will also be much more important. Have fun!

I thought that there must be any movie on it, but excellent to have a game on Napoleon.Actually i read a book: The Napoleonic Wars.

This book is about origins in the French Revolution, narrates Napoleon's victories at Austerlitz and Jena, and concludes with his defeats in the Iberian peninsula, Russia, and finally at Waterloo.
Anyway i have not tried yet with its game.
