mjkerner got a reaction from Probus in Pre-orders for Combat Mission Cold War are now open.
I’d rather live in a world without bacon than a world without Steve and Charles! But maybe we can work out some sort of compromise with the Universe?

You know, after first the out-of-the-blue CMFI gobsmack, and now the CW out-of-the-blue gobsmack, I can really see BFC giving us some form of out-of-the-blue 1943 Eastern Front gobsmack!

Are you saying we sacrifice bacon so Steve and Charles are immortal? Count me in! We have a small cadet branch of Pastafarians at my work, we worship the Mother Pizza. I will put in a word with her for eternal CM.

It's no mindfulness exercise, please spare me the masquerading of your impatience as delays.
The delay in you grasping to understand that the world doesn't turn and tick to your clock is endless. 😇
Anyway, obviously you would have set priorities different; I get it. The only 'simple truth' in this is that you (nor me) don't decide on the priorities with regards to BFC.
The difference between us is that you are waiting and complaining for years, while I don't 'wait' for things that are outside of my control (unless it would be critical for my wellbeing; releases of computer games are typically not critical to my wellbeing). One day it will release (or not), if all is well I will take note of the release and download the game.
You remind me of an observation I made almost 2 decades ago. When in my early 20's I often had to travel by bus. I noticed many people checking the bus schedule at the bus stop and then looking at their watch and becoming irritated/angry that the bus has been delayed. While I never looked at the schedule, because me looking at the schedule wouldn't have any influence with regards to the bus arriving sooner or later.
That wasn't a 'one time' observation, I'd often see the same people around the same time getting worked up about the same thing.
Conceptually you are doing the same thing. Everyday it hasn't come out you are getting angry at more delays, even though they've said yesterday that it won't come out today 🤣
Now please excuse me I have something else to do, which is under my control (work).

I don't think that's fair. I work in software and sometimes bugs are incredibly hard to recreate and from what Steve posted a while ago it took he and Charles 5 hours to find the cause, meaning it was an absolute pig to find because of the rarity of it occurring. They may well have tried to replicate it when it was first reported, couldn't due to lack of info ("x doesn't work" with no supporting detailed information is unfortunately the norm), and other more important things pushed it way down the list. The difference here it appears is they saw it themselves and then managed to track it down.
Software is complicated, I have 20+ years experience and I still ship stuff with bugs because, well, deadlines. I appreciate that they take their time and get it right, it's a rare thing in this industry.

So, what is it with you guys who complain that there aren’t enough bones or information given out, but when Steve and Elvis are all over it with posting after posting, with eye candy and explanations what’s going on(!) and yet you complain about the release being “late”?
Sorry, I just don’t get it (and it is exactly the main reason BFC has given for not giving us deadlines). Complaining about one or the other I understand, but both??
Forgot to add: Rant Over, and I love all yuose guys anyways!

Oh yes, the lot of them are a joke!
I mean, the lot of them are a laughing stock!
Wait, I mean this CM gang has a sense of humor. <I'm sticking with this one .>
That's nice of you Aragorn, and I agree with Tim. Many, many daily yuks and chuckles on this forum.

I don't think Steve ruled Kursk out, Dan, only the period before. Kursk and beyond would make a superb module.
