    I'm beginning to think the universe is against you andy. I've not heard that any of the TW games are available via download - that would be an outrageously huge download.

    I'm assuming you've called around to local stores? I can't offer any suggestions since I don't live in the UK. I know here in the US I've seen MTW in department stores too.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen the budget version(15&#8364 some weeks ago in Paris. But coming here is more costly ... I'll take a look. With any englishman sending you the LOC files, it would work perfectly.

    But it would be better, of course, to find it in England.

    Try www.play.com Jersey based mail order. They should have stock, and the price isn't bad. Delivery is about 3-5 days.

    Hi zathros welcome to the org

    Happily I think judging from HA's latest posts he managed to pick up a copy. I like PLAY myself, tend to buy a lot of things from them, their prices are far far better than you average high street shop

    I wonder if this 'out of stock problem' has anything to do with the time commanders TV programme over here in the UK.

    Wouldn't creating a downloadable version make the game much more pirate-able?

    Just download a pirated version and donate some money to the manufacturer

    try trygames.com or something like it. they got full games like civ3 u can download. then after u play it for a certain time. u can't play it anymore. if u want to buy, it all u need is a credit card. then next time u start, the buy game screen will appear agian. just put in the code they gave u . then u can continue the game

    I would guess rather, that Activision intend on releasing a 'Warlords' edition of MTW with VI and so are not providing the original relase to the market place to ensure they make as much as they can from the new release.

    Dunno if this is much help, but the Game shop in Blackburn had several copies in, just over two weeks ago.

    Maybe you could give em a ring and if they have any left they could post you one out.
