Soem site called Bundle Stars has a Victoria pack for $4.99.

Victoria I Complete, Vic II, both expansions and all DLC.

I am pretty sure you get Steam codes for the games, but not 100% sure.
I never played these games, but I'm tempted by the price. I assume I'll never touch VIctoria, but is the II good, with the expansions?

Steam has the Wargame franchise on sale. Buy all three for 20.00 or Red Dragon for 19.99.

The first game alone (European Escalation) is at 2.49, and the second (Airland Battle) is at 4.99 if bought separately.

I forgot to thank you for this heads-up.  Nice price for a good bundle. Thanks for the heads-up.

I just pass along stuff I see elsewhere, very little of my info is orginal, but I am glad you (and others) got to take advantage and hope the game doesn't suck too much.

I also took advantage of the Victoria II.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Humble Bundle now has HoI3 + everything for 4.50 euros. Should I get it or wait for HoI4? I recall talk about 3 being pretty bad.

Can you really go wrong for 4.50?  Even if it is crap - if it's something you're curious about why not get it?

On a related note, Humble Bundle store currently has March of the Eagles for 99 cents...

It has the standard HoI problem of the naval and air functionality sucking.  In HoI 3 it's easy to automate both as long as you don't care about doing anything interesting with them.  That means playing Germany, Russia, France or some minor.

I think I've said it before, but it would seem that the answer to both of those things should just be some serious abstraction of both naval and air combat instead of trying to model every little nuance.  I think I recall that they are heading at least a little in that direction with 4.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Yeah.  The Air Combat Dev Diary I saw had some interesting things, I haven't seen anything about the Navy but I haven't really looked either.  I stumbled across the Air DD on accident.

I agree.  I don't get any jollies out of dictating hour by hour (in game time) the orders for several dozen aircraft units, and I'm not sure why anybody would.

Grabbed the Vicky II bundle that was mentioned, but the game hangs and crashes every time I try to run it. :(

I doubt anyone does.  I should have some control over what my air force likes and maybe be able to attach certain elements to certain armies (X amount of fighter wings to this sector of air defense, Y amount to assist this army), etc.  But constantly fiddling with the hour and minute and time of day and composition and which air general is in charge and paying attention to yet another unit's strength and AUGH.  Why?
