$50.00!
I'll wait till hell freezes over or the price comes down.

I see Tiller has his games on Matrix now. His games came down $15.

Gah, I wasn't expecting it to be out for another week.

See if I can borrow a fifty off my brother

CCIP, just ask him nicely if he can contribute much needed resources to the war effort.

The first 3 of the series, Brad. All-in-one.

Sh*t, I paid much more than that for each initial release without any add-on packs or additions a few years ago.

Aww man, thought it was a demo!

Played thru the Pearl Harbor and Coral Sea scenarios and loved every minute.

Use Pearl Harbor as the Japanese as your tutorial I'd suggest. Very easy and it helps you get the hang of coordinating air strikes.

I then played Coral Sea as the US and got my butt kicked every time until I started using some strategy.

What really impressed me was that I played Coral Sea 5 times in a row and each time the AI did something a little bit different. Sometimes they pushed their carriers up to actively hunt for me, sometimes they held back and seemed to be trying to lure me in (which I continually fell for the first few times). I'm having a blast with it.

Only complaints would be lack of carry over between scenarios and the limited number of scenarios. The limited number can be remedied somewhat because a scenario editor is included.

bradclark1, Carriers at War is a seriously fun game, honestly. Too bad there's no demo (or any plans for one at this stage) you could try out--I have a sneaking suspicion you would most likely enjoy the game. With respect to the price: niche title for a niche market by a small independent developer choosing to have their labor of love published be a small fish, as far as publishers go. Personally, I think it provides good value when you consider the big picture.

C'mon sailor--get those feet wet!
