If I was to hazard a guess, I would think that the extra money we pay for a physical pre-order gets rewarded by a few hours early notice. DVD's, manuals, mailers etc. cost. I don't know how BF's making their money back on those, but I think this extra fund-age probably goes to cover that directly. Maybe part of the download costs do too. I just like a manual in my hands. That comes from way too many board games in years past. I bet I have 60 out in the garage right now and no real space to keep them set up for long enough to make it worth it.

Yeah, right. But it will go to my phone, which will probably happen when I am away from the pc but I'll know I could.

I'll just wait for my pre-order email from Battlefront that tells me it is ready to download.

There is this link to the BOB page that was valid for CMBB. How much could a language change in , what 70 years? http://webandofbrothers.de/Russian_Translation.htm

It almost makes me think something from CMBS accidentally made it into the latest patch.

Is the editor, yes they are there. I am specifically talking about quick battle purchase screen. June, July, August or September does not have a heavy tank regiment or heavy individual tanks for purchase. This is like when RT first came out, you could not purchase SMG equipped Germans in QB's, but you could in the editor.

Maybe that means there are not that many qb's that have been played since the release?

No, they were there in an earlier version. They must have been left out in either 1.02 or 1.03.

I show the same problem. Nothing heavier than a medium tank seems to be available in QB's. Assault guns get heavy stuff but not tank battalions. Also v1.03. It is only the Soviet Guards units that do not have the heavy tank regiment. They are present in the regular Soviet army formations.

Have you tried this method? 1. From the briefing screen, hit print screen 2. alt tab out of the game 3. open up a blank word document and paste? Then zoom screen to 500%. Admittedly you have to do each page but it's easier than eye strain and it only takes a few keystrokes.. Works with Win 7 and Office 2013. Don't know how it would work on a Mac. It works on SF, but obviously I cannot try BS yet.

The only time I see the Full Version button at the bottom of the page is on my android device. Touching that makes it full version on the phone but a b*tch to read because the font goes microscopic. There is a use mobile version visible when I am in Full Version on the phone. I don't have that option on the PC. Perhaps the forum is smart enough to know what is accessing it and gives the appropriate options.

You only seem to see your own, not anyone else's. Must be some new, secret forum tool to keep us miscreants in line.

I answered my own question, for once. It seems that you can get that capability back by selecting full version st the bottom. Down side is that the font gets smaller but now I know how to get around it. Just go back to mobile mode.

Is there a way on the android mobile version to get the various pages of a thread to be accessed, other than scrolling through all of the posts? (as in go to the last page/post) I like the fact that I no longer need a magnifying glass to see the text though. I'm talking about the new forum, not CM touch.

I'm looking forward to them.

I just completed a h2h of this and I want to thank you for all the time and work you put into it. This is the 1st time I actually took out 3 AFV's in 1 battle using infantry only. It was a most enjoyable and tense match up that wound up resulting in an Allied minor victory. I was pleasantly surprised at some of the hidden victory conditions. Didn't find that out until the dust cleared. Keep building them.

Yes, can't tell your .btt from your .cam if its zipped or rared.

It is not always a finite number , but look at the size of the download. MOST of the battles are 2,000kb or less. The campaigns tend to be much larger. If you just look at the detailed descriptions of the ones larger than that, it might narrow it down a lot for you.

Ah, another snippet of information.

I noticed this wording in the release features but I cannot seem to find the Jagdpanther anywhere, in QBs or the editor, formations or single vehicles. Am I imagining this? •Improved long-range optics for JPz IV, Jagdpanther

Seriously, I wasn't complaining. Those costs are just what I have spent on CMx2 titles and that since CMBN came out. I only recently picked up Shock Force and Afghanistan. That cost doesn't come close to the 60-70 odd board games I have in the garage with sadly no place to leave them set up.

Not complaining about the cost, just had never added it up. My rig to run it cost a lot more thsn that.

Maybe rhe next thing is the poor house. I just added up all of my CMx2 purchase costs, $562.00 including shipping. I do own them all but it builds up quickly. It's just a hobby, dear. Honest.

Well hail yess, I kin reed reel gud, spel ok tu.
