<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Big Time Software: CM2 will be out in about a year from now. CM1 will most likely not come down in price until then (if at all). Anybody that would pass up on a great game for a year for the hope of getting a $10 or so discount is being a bit silly IMHO I mean, $10 over the space of 365 days is under 3 cents a day. I lose more pocket change here and there during that Steve [This message has been edited by Big Time Software (edited 10-01-2000).]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Steve could you some time in the future start a new forum only for CM2?

If you wait for CM2 you will loose out on the training on how to move and control units and get an understanding how the game functions. The demo could do this but the full version gives you different weather conditions and time of day and far more variety of units.

I believe BTS started out to make Squad Leader then went their own direction if I recall correctly.

Trouble was, the dogs not only ran under the German tanks, but under the Soviet tanks, the General's field car, and Farmer Boris' favorite horse-drawn cart as well! This idea was soon scrapped! Mace<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Easy on the Boris jokes (just kidding)

I too am waiting for CM3. I use to have a game called Tobruk by AH. It was a battle of the British out flanking the Germans (if they let them). I even saw a game using minitures were the Axis advanced on a Allied strong hole and had a 6 pounder dug in with smokless AT shells and gave the Axis a bloody nose (sort of reminds me of the movie "Desert Rats").

Thank you. I will try it.

Does any body remember what programs could be used to record my moves to make a movie? ------------------ Boris Balaban WORK bbalaban@rim.net HOME b.balaban@home.com

Any direct hits? If not I can see why they were still intact. The crews are another question.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by aka_Deadline: Way to go Boris, now that you have, what are you going to do with it.................. PLay, Play, Play... Deadline<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You got it. Play play play

I finally got it and BTS was a big help in getting me the game. It was mailed out on June 21/00. It must have been kicking around customs or the Canadian Post office.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Boris Balaban: Well its Friday and I am waiting for the mail. Lets see what he brings?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well the mailman dropped off the mail and still no CM.

Well its Friday and I am waiting for the mail. Lets see what he brings?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by tailz: Well... it would appear that I am to be the last Canuck to get a hold of CM... this sux! HELLO... BTS!!! For CM2 you should offer your customers the option to pay for FedEx or Purolator to skip this Postal Service/Customs ,*&!@#@@#$#@ (expletive deleted). I for one would be happy to pay a little extra to skip this runaround.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You are not the only one left!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Little Black Devil: Hey Boris, if it means anything, it took 14 days for it to reach me in Winnipeg, and that includes the long weekend. It was postmarked the 21st of June and I got it on July 4th. Enjoy your free time now...once you get CM you won't have any ...and whats more is you won't even care! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Mine too was shipped on the 21st of June. You would think we in Canada would get them all about the same time not more then 3 working days.

At work I have a RAGE PRO TURBO AGP 2X 8Mbs and it runs but you loose sight of the curser (always) and one why to bring the curser back us use the "ESC" key then go back into it. But it should work.

Steve has confeirmed that it was shipped but as for July 6th still nothing.

Still no joy in K/W.??? I did ask Steve if my shipment went out and he replied "Your two copies did indeed go out. I think they actually left our warehouse on the 21st, which is of course later than we expected".

Still no joy in K/W.???

Please do not try and find out how many CM were sold. Steve and Charles do not want it published. If you do figure it out please do not post it in any way. By the way I too would like to know (and many others) but I accept what BTS/Battlefront wants.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by stodge: I've been away for the long weekend, so has anyone in the Ottawa area received CM yet?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You are not the only Canadian to recieve it for I am still waiting in K/W area! O were O were can it be? Is it slower for I bought 2 of them?

I too do not have it yet (sad). I guess I will look at buying Diablo 2 for the weekend.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by chris talpas: Boris, Yes I lucked out. No taxes or duty. I sincerely hope you all get it today as well. It looks like it went out with the last bunch according to the final shipment update of Steve (or was that Charles?). They stated all orders had gone out by the 22nd. That is the ship date indicated on the package. The postmark from Williston is dated the 23rd. Chris<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Thanks Chris. I will post what I get.

Good for you. May be others get it today and Friday. No TAXES or DUTY?
