Just wanted to know any ones thoughts on this - is it still worth a punt ?
Noticed a number of threads regarding bugs & issues - is it still a good game to buy?

It depends if you have additional ~ 30 quid in your pocket.

I'm kinda of hoping its a complete remake of the A bridge too far, that was a fantastic theatre.
In my opinion ABTF was a real turning point for the CC series.

I think it is worth it.... There are a lot of enhancements in LSA over previous versions of CC which resulted in a lot of the bug posts/talk but with each patch the game is getting the fixes it needs....

And as Mooxe said: "welcome to our happy group of beta testers (first invest your 30 quid please)"
Heheh

Thanks gents, - an hour to go before the download finishes. Hopefully ill get a chance to run through a few maneuvers before the Mrs calls last rounds.
I opted for the download only version, anyone know where I can get some album covers if I decide to burn it to DVD ?

Try torrent sites.
And I guess you can also use torrent file as your game file when you want to reinstall it. Just deposit your serial number.

If you come from the originals, stick with them (one exception being CC4/WAR). If some reputable mods such as GJS get ported over to one of the new versions, maybe. All the re-makes are rather dry (weak Grand Campaigns).
At the current time, a modded CC5/CC3 is much more entertaining.
One exception being, if you are a Battle of the Buldge guy, take WAR over CC4.

Do yourself a favor and stick with the originals. All the re-makes feature dry, horrid gameplay but Last Standa Arnhem takes the cake. Don't waste your time or money.
Don't know about COI, WAR, TLD, or LSA. Sometimes, I like to think, I was "smart" enough to not involve myself.
Its not really a money issue. For me, its a time issue.
I bought CCMT, so if you can figure out how to get at the "Updates", this game is neither Dry or HORRID. It avoids, most of the poorly executed features, by simply not including them.
You get a pure wargame, with the best mission editor, and very few system contraints, which allow you to set up any scenario of your choosing.
Data modifications are easy, and the soldier actions, are an outstanding improvement of the base games of the 90's.
