- The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting - wrote Sun Tzu over 2,5 thousand years ago. If only he could play some of the modern strategy games...

I have everything here that appeals to me already, but a great chance for others to get some games or give them a try at a cheap price.

It would be nice to get the DOS version of B-17 Flying Fortress as a goody!

whoa that's a lot of games. I'll suggest MoH Allied Assault. I'd like to be able to buy Activision's CoD War Chest here pls.
if I write snippets I can throw lots of thoughts out:
- Ancestors Legacy is Destructive Creations; controversial stance: bring their Hatred and let ppl decide whether to buy or not
- we're still missing some Retroism war and military sims (though Retroism games have been leaving so maybe there's little hope of those showing up).
- I think Paradox still has some old games that could show up
- more EA games pls
- funnily enough we got more Ubi games in 2019 via Brothers in Arms, nothing since then though, I don't think. (I'd actually like to see Cold Fear show up)
- Brothers In Arms is Gearbox; gib Borderlands 1+2, Duke games back + DNF, Bulletstorm, etc.
- Activision has like 1 game in there (may have missed some of course) and it's of course -20%; I guess it's more profitable to have fewer people buy it at a high price than more people buy it at a deep discount?
;)

I would really like to see Medal of Honor: Airborne here.

Might get Ancestors Legacy - Complete Edition. Have the base game from a retail box already but it requires Steam + no DLC. $15 seems fair. Will think about it.

Yeah, had hoped to see the Blitzkrieg Anthologies as well.

Guess I'll finally buy the early Sudden Strike games.

How does Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault compare to MoH: Allied Assault?

IronArcturus: How does Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault compare to MoH: Allied Assault?
IMHO MOH Pacific Assault is a mediocre effort. It's not bad -- and I enjoy the Pacific Theatre setting very much -- but MOH AA is a much more well-crafted and designed experience. Pacific Assault is a fine diversion for the price (I'd certainly purchase it on sale), but IMO doesn't reach the heights of AA. If you're a WWII FPS gamer, I'd certainly buy it. If you're just looking for "great" FPS games, I'd probably pass.

If you're looking for a strong WWII FPS with squad command elements, I would first suggest the Brothers in Arms games. IMO those are exceptional (especially modded).

EA still has (what we might consider) a lot of money they could make here, between pre-Origin games on Steam and other missing classics, but I guess it's chump change to them.

One of my favorite WWII FPS games -- the animations, gun sounds, aggressive AI. Love it. Played COD WWII a few years back and it felt hollow. Went back and played MOH Airborne (again) and it felt great... even after all these years.

Probably a day 1 sale for me if it was to come here.

Thanks for the info!

So now I have to ask, which is the best Brothers in Arms game?

There are two Hearts of Iron III.
And missing Close Combat: Modern Tactics, but it isn't discounted at the moment.

Please add Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin and Combat Mission: Afrika Korps to the sale . Also the two Hidden & Dangerous games .
