Important Update: Last Chance to Purchase Physical Manuals and Editions Before March 1st

socials
Published on February 03, 2025

Dear Wargamers,

We want to share an important update with you.

Starting March 1st, 2025, Slitherine will no longer sell physical game manuals or physical copies of our games through our website. This marks the end of an era, and we understand how much these editions have meant to many of you over the years.

There is a trend away from Physical purchases to digital, and a decreasing number of new PC’s even have DVD drives and very few laptops meaning the potential market has been shrinking for years. This, combined with increasing delivery costs, environmental awareness, and more red tape on international deliveries, all combine to make it unviable.
 
For those who appreciate the tactile experience of a physical manual or a boxed edition, this is your final chance to secure a piece of wargaming history. You have until February 28th, 2025, to purchase from the remaining stock, after which these products will no longer be available.

Physical Editions Still Available
Here’s the full list of titles still available in physical format:

Combat Mission: Battle For Normandy
Combat Mission: Black Sea
Combat Mission: Cold War 
Combat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg
Combat Mission: Fortress Italy
Combat Mission: Red Thunder
Combat Mission: Shock Force 2
Command: Modern Operations
Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa
Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm
Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2
Gary Grigsby's War in the West
Panzer Corps 2
Rule the Waves 3
Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe
Strategic Command WWII: World at War
Strategic Command: American Civil War
Strategic Command: World War I
The Operational Art of War IV
War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition

If you’ve been considering adding one of these titles to your collection, this is the time. Stocks are limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

We thank you for your unwavering support and passion for wargaming. Together, we’ve kept the spirit of strategy alive, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you in the digital age.
