HistWar Les Grognards : Pre-order

[Hook]

I do not live within the EEU yet there is no option to buy the Pre Order without the French Sales tax.

Apparently, JMM has to pay the tax no matter who the game is sold to.  So... he collects from us.

No one ever said tax laws had to make sense.

Hi Folks
Does the Priority Postage (La Poste - Prioritaire) include insurance?
Its just that I'd feel better with insurance after spending €80 on a product.

Could anybody tell me when the two boxed versions of the game will start shipping? I will be moving another country in January/February. I doubt the shipment will be in time to still make it to my old address and I don't have a new address yet before the digital download opens. I would like to order a boxed version but I'm tempted to choose the download only.

thanks

My advice will be to choose the dl version because you will have a important probability to not have the box except if you have family or/and friends who could take your box.

Is it planned to offer Paypal as option for payment instead of credit cards?
It would be nice, as I'm not sure if I can buy it otherwise.

I quote from the Terms and conditions of use...

ARTICLE 7 : Tax reduction

Any product delivered electronically to an individual from a country member of the European Union to another country member of the European Union will automatically be subject to the VAT of the issuing country in this case France.

As I am in Panama which is not a member of the EU the above does imply that I am not subject to this tax.

[Hook]

Thanks, Soldem.  Is there anything there that says that you and I are specifically NOT subject to the tax?  That would be very nice indeed.

I have never been charged VAT before this purchase (as a US customer purchasing from a EU vendor).  It's an interesting question, to which I can't seem to find an easy answer online. 

AGEoD is another French company that I have bought quite a few games from, and never paid VAT charges.  Their policy is as follows:

"Any product acquired either electronically or physically will be charged with the tax rate applicable in the issuer’s country, in this case France. Clients living outside the European Union will be charged tax free, pending a declaration made at the user’s initiative. Companies residing in the EU and handling business with a partner who is also a EU member (from a country different than the one in which the company resides), must provide their intercommunity VAT number in order to be billed tax free."

[JMM]

The French law is very clear because it's a purchase with downloading...
So, we have to paid a VAT charge... Really sorry...

JMM

PS : however, we are working on the subject again... if there is a gap within the law... but I don't believe.

[Formaldehyde]

It's certainly complicated.

JMM,

Congratulations on completing the game and preparing it for release after all of your hard work over the years.  I just pre-ordered it, and am looking forward to learning all about the game and the history of this time period.

I have been a Combat Mission fan for many years, and have never had much interest in Napoleon until now.

As Hook mentioned above, I am also curious about access to the restricted forum.  Do you have an idea when it will be available?

Thank you and all the best,

Chops

Thanks JMM,

However, I still don't understand how to access the restricted forum.  Also, how do we get assigned the title "Grenadier HistWar" so that we can login to the forum?

[JMM]

Do you see the forum Les Grenadiers, the fifth in the list.. Could you enter within this forum?
Title "Grenadier d'HistWar" : Yes.. just patience.. we have to do that...

Yes, I was able to access the forum Les Grenadiers....thank you.
