Available by Digital Download?

Is the game being sold via digital download? Thanks.

No. Please use the search function before you post, because everything there is to say about this matter has already been done here:

Thanks. I did a search on "digital download" before asking and did not see the answer.

I've added a digital download section to the first post of the FAQ.

Generally speaking I think some leeway should be shown to people who don't use the search function because it isn't actually very useful. I've never managed to find what I wanted using it so I wouldn't consider using it before making a new thread.

It can get irritating if the same topic comes up over and over again, but if it only comes up infrequently it's not so bad.

Ive gotten pretty good with the search function here but it does have a worse than average learning curve.

However a fix is in the works since Shrapnel is heavily considering changing the software that the formats run on.

An alternative is to use Google if its more comfortable to you. Many of the search sites will allow you to limit your search to a particular site by adding something like
site:www.shrapnelcommunity.com to the search terms.

The only thing that you need to learn about the search function: put plus signs in front of your search terms.

It's still annoying because it takes you to individual posts without letting you get to the thread they're in or seeing what it's called.

Afair anyway.

Good idea. I looked there as well before asking. Hopefully this will be available as a download some day.

Possibly.
The publisher (Shrapnel) has discussed it extensively with us, and continues to watch the various efforts online to provide decent DD. Some of Shrapnels games are available for DD but not this one. Im not really expecting it anytime soon.
