Same as me too much. I will wait for deep discount. I enjoyed Vietnam '65 but I would not pay $30 for it.Uh, I intended to pick it up but $30 is way too much.
Slitherine gonna slither.
With Vietnam we tried the very low price point for an entry level wargame to widen the audience, but what we've found is is makes very little difference to volume of sales. After this and with Afghanistan being a vastly superior game we've priced it at a more standard price of $29.99. Despite what you may believe, dropping the price does not dramatically increase sales. If we'd released Vietnam at a higher price point we would have made more money and we wouldn't have some people expecting this game to be cheaper The market for these games is incredibly inelastic. If you want to play games like this the developers need to be able to earn enough to pay the bills.
Here is Every Single Soldier's next project.

Has anyone here played this?
Any impressions?
Nice to know that Vietnam'65 game play has been scaled up successfully with more complexity .Has anyone here played this?
Any impressions?
It's really good. All that stuff about logistics might sound boring, but when you actually play the game it's not. It's a hell of a lot more interesting than pushing around a million little counters like you do in most wargames. It's not just some gimmicky little indie game that you play once and forget about, either. I've got 20+ hours in it and I'm sure I'll come back and play again in the future, so $30 isn't too much to ask for it.

Royal Marines brings back the winning formula of Afghanistan ’11 and innovates on it with plenty new features. A new campaign, a new faction, plenty new units, civilian vehicles, car bombs, roadblocks, Afghan police… Royal Marines is a must-have for all Afghanistan ’11 players.
New UK faction
Lead the British forces in their attempt to stabilize the region, with plenty new units such as the Warthog (capable of traversing mountains), the Scimitar or the Jackal.
New UK Campaign
A new scenario campaign is included for the UK Army, following the deployment of the Royal Marines into Afghanistan. From Operation Ptarmigan to Operation Ghartse Dagger, the new campaign adds 10 new unique scenarios for dozens of hours of additional fun.
Civilian vehicles
Civilian vehicles will now randomly spawn on the Highway and the Roads connected to it and travel across it to other villages. But beware of…
Car Bombs
Civilian vehicles might be carrying explosives which will detonate upon reaching their destination village.
Roadblocks
Build roadblocks to stop and search vehicles and you might be able to prevent a car bomb attack. Doing so will give you Hearts & Minds as well as give you Intel.
Afghan Police
Win enough H&M in a village and you will receive an Afghan Police unit, capable of taking part to Roadblocks as well as to gather Intel in villages without the need of infantry.
Intelligence from Villages
The window of opportunity for gathering intelligence from villages now occurs randomly and only remains available for a random period of time after the fire first starts to burn. This represent the village elders having a meeting and then disbanding.
FOB Capacity
FOBs now have limited capacity to house troops and vehicles. Whenever a FOB is overcrowded, the player will incur PP costs for every unit over the limit.
Automatic trigger of ISAF handover
Whenever a player has an overall H&M score of above 70 for four (4) consecutive turns, the ISAF handover process is automatically triggered.
Special Forces proximity combat modifier
Whenever regular infantry are within the spotting range of a SF unit, they will receive an additional combat bonus.
Uniform
A unique and separate uniform displaying new awards, badges and medals for the UK army has been added.
While agree with my monocled brother here, that it doesn't look complex at all, it doesn't mean it can't be deep.If this is what counts as complex mechanics, I'll keep my 30 euro and shiterine continue to enjoy it's 100 players per game.
Codex be like:
>we want gamez with complex mechanix that only complete aspies can understand and enjoy
>moans that 30 bucks is too fucking much, buys AAA crap on teh first day for double amount
Never change bruhs.
Apple has removed Slitherine’s Afghanistan ’11 from sale on the app store. Their reason given was that the game featured “people from specific governments or other real entities as the enemies”.
