Moon Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 theBrit - when you pre-order you automatically get the Download&Mail option (there is no other choice). That costs $55, but by pre-ordering it will only be $45 (plus shipping for the mail part). So you save $10. Avwriter - 1. Yes. And you can un-install (and un-license) and re-install (and re-license) as often as you like, too. 2. Saddle stiched. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobo Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 This digital download thing is great and a bit disappointing. Remember the fun we had when CMBB was first released? Watching the posts as it arrived first in the Northeast, then the Midwest and the West Coast and then a few days later I finally received it. Watching the posts of how people would come home from work and find CMBB waiting for them and then going home and not finding CMBB waiting for me. That anticipation was awesome. Now, instant gratification for Theatre of War and CMSF. Oh well. Maybe just for old times sake I will download via dialup. bobo (ready to preorder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyman56 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Originally posted by Moon: No, $55 - $10. The manual is close to 80 pages, and the mail-delivery version includes a DVD box with full printed manual[/] inside (both the download and mail version include a PDF of course) Martin Yes look!!

Kellysheroes Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Ahhh thanks I hate PDF manuals. Now if only someone could tell me the maximum amount of units that are allowed to be played in a given or premade or even custom made scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Steiner Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi Moon et al Great news and if TOW only gives me a fraction of the satisfaction that CM series has over the years it will be well worth it. Good to hear there is a printed manual available Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
British Tommy Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Well done to all the team! Can't wait to get my hands on the editor! I expect it's a lot more detailed than AK or BB (I hope!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleader Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Question about the digital d\l since I have never done it before: I assume it's simply a large .exe that can be burnt to a DVD? I'm on peasant-high-speed right now ($14/mth - couldn't justify the $50/mth option - to myself or my wife - as I don't play online games) so I'd probably have a friend d/l and burn it for me. Will this be an issue in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobo Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Originally posted by Peterk: Can we have another night of the refreshing monkeys party? That is a certainty. Might not be as bad as the one will be for CMSF download/release day. So Moon is it 12:00am on April 19 for the digital download? Which timezone? bobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another benefit of using an online activation system and not a copy protection. The download will be either one large file or maybe a multi-part file. We're exploring the latter option right now due to the sheer size of this pig. 2GB is stretching it even for people with fast connections.

MikoyanPT Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Congratulations are in order to 1c company and Battlefront.com It looks like TOW has everithing to became a classic to hardcore strategy games all around the world. And looks beautifful, it will be like playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion with platoons of T34 and a full set of correct rules of engagement like Combat Mission. RRROOOAAAAARRR Let the games begin.

Cincinatvs Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Martin Some French game site confuses with the rebate when downloading, writting "Its cost 45$ but you can get 10$ rebate when you download" http://www.clubic.com/actualite-71369-theatre-war-19-prochain.html Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theBrit Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hmmm I thought this would happen....its not clear in the official statement above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah, there is nothing I can do about it though as I can't withdraw the press releases that went out. But if your quote is correct then that french site actually didn't read the announcement well anyway. There is no rebate if you download. The mail version and the download version cost exactly the same thing. Anyway, when the pre-order page opens it will be clear how much it costs, since there will only be one option and one price Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
