I am thinking of buying SH5 on steam as it is released on Wednesday insted of Friday in the stores here in the UK.

My question is if I get a new computer will I be able to re-download all my steam games onto it, or are they now stuck on my old system??

I only have Empire and Napoleon TW as STEAM -based games. These two you can download on your new Computer after you have reinstalled the STEAM client.

Alternatively you can make a Backup of your STEAM Games on CD or DVD for reinstallation. I did so with Napoleon TW because i didn't want to download 15 GB with my relatively slow connection again. The procedure is pretty convenient.

So yes - your games can be reinstalled on your new System.
