Wolfseven, email directly at matt@battlefront.com with the name and email address that you put on your order and I will check and see if it went through. Usually a 404 error though means that the communications between our server and you was lost and that nothing was processed at all. Madmatt

The Features page of the ToW site, also lists all the latest additions. Madmatt

Yes, thats exactly how it works! With the current campaigns though, they don't branch, you just proceed along the campaign in a linear fashion, but you COULD set it so that when you loose a battle it goes to Battle-X while if you won, it would proceed to Battle-Y for instance. Madmatt

If you Pre-Order, you will get the Download and Mail Delivery version for $45 plus shipping and handling. If you want just the DVD version or just the Download version, you will have to wait until April 19th to order. On April 19th, the Download and Mail Delivery version will go back up to its regular price of $55 Madmatt

Once the release is wrapped up, I will see about putting together some kind of webkit for use in fan/support sites. Madmatt

Should be all better now. Must have gotten screwed up during a recent page update. Madmatt

Sorosbr, I am not sure why you having issues emailing us as we get support requests all the time, every day. You can try and reach me directly, as said above, at support@battlefront.com or sales@battlefront.com I don't want to discuss the specifics of your order here on a public forum but looking at your mailing address, I know that orders to Brazil can often take 4-6 weeks to arrive and its only been 3 since your order was placed. Your item would have shipped within 48 hours though of when you placed it, so should be on its way to you. If it doesn't arrive by next week though, then there may be an issue. If you wish to email me still, you can, but please reconfirm your full mailing address in the email just so we can confirm that it went to where it was supposed to go. UPDATE: I have since seen two emails from you today and replied to both, are you not getting those replies? Madmatt [ March 09, 2007, 02:47 PM: Message edited by: Madmatt ]

The game files actually include their own fonts so I don't think it matters what you have your Windows set to. Madmatt

Some earlier versions of CMBB and CMBO did not have a intergrated uninstall utility. For those, you just delete the whole game folder. Madmatt

We had actually discussed with 1C about implementing a binocular view last year but other, more pressing matters, were focused on. It is possible that we will look at adding this camera feature in a future patch/update though as we all liked the idea. As noted above, you can "bind" the camera to the soldiers viewpoint at any time you want. Madmatt

Over the last few days, several more previews have gone live including very positive ones from The Wargamer and TweakTown. Find all the previews and parts 1 and 2 of the game walkthrough located here: Find all the Previews and parts 1 and 2 of the Gameplay Walkthrough located here! Madmatt Madmatt

We thought you guys might like to look at some more screenshots today, so we prepared an all new gallery with nearly 100 new screenshots. As always, everything you see (3d models, textures and effects) are still beta and are to be considered unfinished. Enjoy! Madmatt

Okay,the main point of this topic has been addressed and since it seems to be going downhill, its time to lock it up. I will mention the wrong flag to the development team. I can't say for sure if it will get fixed or not but they will be told about it. Madmatt

I usually notice stuff like that but for some reason I hadn't noticed that 50 star US flag until now. I will see if we can get it fixed but there are other larger issues that are a little more important to get done at the moment. Madmatt

Interesting preview but Steve Butts the previewer must not have seen the camera settings in the options panel where you can set the camera's minimum and maximum heigth over the map. You can adjust it so you can get down to as low as 1 foot above the ground or as high as 250 feet I believe. You can thank me for that little addition! Actually, you can edit the mission files and raise that limit even higher, but your framerate will begin to suffer and once you get higher than the cloud cover you cant really play too well. Madmatt

As we get closer to the release date for Theatre of War many websites, magazines and online portals will be posting game previews, reviews and special features. The Armchair General website and magazine leads off with the first new game preview based on their experience with a recent beta. Steve Butts of the giant IGN web portal also got some hands on time and posted his preview comments. In addition to these Previews, a multi-part Game Walkthrough series of articles has begun. The first article covers some basic game mechanics (such as how to select and move units) while the following three articles will dig deeper into tactical problems and how to solve them using realistic WW2 tactics (and how to execute them in the game).
