I recommend Bronze, Weird Worlds, War Plan Pacific, and Dominions 3.

Press release:

Shrapnel Games has your cure for the summertime heat! From now thru August 6th we're having a massive sale on all our current gaming titles. Cool off with games shipped to your door or downloaded directly to your hard drive. Games of grand strategy, of war, of fantasy and time. Award winners, mod friendly, and critically acclaimed. They're all on sale at Shrapnel Games official store, the Gamers Front.

Gather around and let's check out the cool discounts...

Save $3.00 off these hot titles:

Battle Group Commander Episode One - A real time simulation of modern warfare between Brits and Soviets. A mini-game that features everything that makes the full ProSIM games great, but at a fraction of their size.

BRAINPIPE: A Plunge to Unhumanity - Scary, scary stuff that will blow your freaking mind. Cool, huh?

Save $4.00 off these cool games:

BCT Commander - Combined arms warfare at a brigade/regimental level around the world using ProSIM's trademark command time gameplay. Gamespot called it "outstanding", Computer Games Magazine awarded it 4 out of 5 stars and we say, 'how cool is that!'

Bronze. Eurogaming on your PC. Fast paced tile laying game of area conquest. Bronze is the new gold.

Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space - The award-winning game of galactic destiny, conquest, love, and redemption in twenty minutes or less. Probing, a throbbing purple void, and sexy space chickens, what more could a young starship captain want?

Take $5.00 from the retail price of these titles:

Air Command 3.0 - A game about air traffic control. Definitely a different take on what strategy games can offer, Air Command 3.0 offers tense, exciting gameplay in a world that isn't fantasy, WW2, or the ACW. Naps not included.

Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War - Tired of watching the news and seeing South Korea constantly being picked on by North Korea? Total warfare on the peninsula in this intense real-time strategy game of modern warfare.

Salvo! - When naval warfare consisted of wooden ships, colorfully dressed sailors, and big balls. Relive the glory days of cannons and ships that burn with Salvo!.

Scallywag: In the Lair of the Medusa - Who doesn't like to kill monsters and take their loot? Dungeon crawl your way to killing lots of creatures whose only crime is wanting to kill you first. Then whip up your own adventures.

War Plan Pacific - Command fleets, air groups, and amphib assaults! Featuring multiple victory conditions, not to mention a slew of fatalities and secret endings, this is THE Pacific game to have on your on your hard drive.

winSPMBT Enhanced Edition - Classic wargaming is not dead! Hundreds of scenarios and endless tactics provide players with a game of infinite possibilities, only matched by its companion title, winSPWW2.

winSPWW2 Enhanced Edition - Shermans, Panthers, and Cromwells fight on the beaches, in the fields, and beyond. Way too much gaming is contained here, with hundreds of hours of scenarios, campaigns, and quick battles.

For the following games you'll save $6.00 off their normal price:

Air Assault Task Force - This one is really hot! Cool off by cranking up the Wagner and bringing death from above in another superb modern warfare simulation from ProSIM.

ATF: Armored Task Force - Featuring tanks, tanks, and more tanks. Globe trotting fun in which yes, you blow the crap out of the enemy. Does an excellent job of reminding oneself of the little pleasures in life.

Dominions 3: The Awakening - You. Yeah, you, the guy who says he'll pick up Dominions 3 when it's not at full price. It's not at full price. So finally buy it so you can discover what the other five billion owners already know: this game motherbleeping RULES!!

The Falklands War: 1982 - At the bottom of the world the British and Argentineans faced each other in a battle of Exocets and Harriers. Modeling combat down to bayonet charges, this entry in the ProSIM line features everything you've come to expect from ProSIM: tense, exciting scenarios using real world maps and equipment that raises the bar on what a computer wargame can be.

Space HoRSE - Another game that doesn't feature mass killing. A fast-playing economic game set in the future in space. All games should be set in space. Space is cool.

The Star and the Crescent - Arab-Israeli conflicts, both historical and hypothetical. Perfect for the armor enthusiast.

So there you have them, all our titles on sale thru August 6th. Right now there's no better time to stay indoors and play computer games. Stay in, beat the heat, complete your Shrapnel Games library, and have some really cool discounted fun!

Is Shrapnel selling anything new?...ever?

4-5$ off at least five year old games...thats pretty amazing.

Although War Plan Pacific, Dominions 3 and Weird Worlds are pretty good games a $3-$5 (£2-£3) discount is hardly worth terming a Sale, or as the press release puts it "massive sale on all our current gaming titles", particularaly when compared to the Steam and Gamersgate Sales with discounts usually in the region of 40%-75% (more at times) or even the Matrix Sales which are usually c30%.

I agree with you about the discounts on digital downloads, but I don't believe it would be feasible to give a 40%-75% discount on their retail boxed games.

Do they really think someone is going to say "I don't think Dom 3 is worth $55.  But $49?  HELL YEAH!"?

I agree with you tgb123. I don't get it either.

Neither do they.

I knew this would be the case before I even opened this thread.  Shrapnel's crazy sales are always about $4 off of $40 games.

With all the misleading, dishonest and insulting advertising we all see daily, I can't bring myself to bash a sale on the grounds that the discount is not as much as I would like.

but 34 dollars for Steel Panthers is kind of tough to swallow when I just paid 17.99 for Rage and 17.99 for Arma II Combined ops..

6 Bucks - ? I mean what does that even buy these days that you are going to be glad you can still afford cause you saved it in their sale ?

Well what about Jeff Lapkoff games? He's been charging $30 for his old games for at least a decade now. Some developers just never give any discounts and are happy with what little sales they do get at regular old prices. We won't see any real discounts until some big publisher buys them all out. Maybe Paradox will absorb them all someday and we'll get them for $4 to $5

I've been fortunate enough to get most of the Shrapnel games I own from Ebay though and much much less than he's selling them at a discount. I don't have a problem with used game buying but it's getting harder and harder to find the ones you want.

Gee, that's...underwhelming.  I was hoping that for once my patience paid off.  NOT!

That's the amount of discount they usually give.  And thier library is not so interesting.

The newest game I've purchased from Shrapnel was War Plan Pacific .... which means for me that Shrapnel hasn't published anything of interest for allmost 4 years.
