You have now had some little time to pour over the game features. You will have to provide us with your first impressions of the game, does it meet with your expectations? Can you tell me where you purchased it from? Was it via the internet , GAME or some other high street retailer and what does it retail at?

I downloaded my copy in 15 minutes. Very fast download. Also bought the media as well.

The game crashed on my system but as I am using WinXP 64 bit that isnt a fair assessment of if the game plays well.

I will install the game on my older PC during the weekend. Also will try it on the laptop.

I like the background music. All period classical music. Not sure if they have the march music we are all used to hearing. Maybe for the battles.

Will post again once I have tried it on my other platforms.

I would DEFINITELY be interested in a PBEM game guys.

Perhaps because this is not a club game we should move the discussion of a game over to the Off Topic Forum.

I will start a thread up today on the subject: Crown of Glory PBEM Game

Lets seriously consider giving this title a spin.

Sous-Lieutenant Jeffery,

You should have the choice of a boxed version (w/manual), a d/l one (w/o manual (.pdf on in prog.)) <b><u>or</u></b> both.[:)]
