  1. Exactly the same thoughts! At least we get to play the demo a bit before full release... although Steve suggested both will come really back to back. Or is it just me misunderstanding things (again)?

    My guess is they will be very close to the same date. This isn't like back in '99 when the beta demo was out for months before the game came out.

    I seem to recall that when CMSF came out, that the demo was weeks later, and demos have not come out before game releases in many years.

    Either way, I'm sure to play the demo a dozen times or more. :D

    When the time gets closer, I will leave my desktop on at home, and then if I see it's released while I'm at work I'll remote into it and do the download and install

    while Im at work so when I get home I can start playing right away. :)

  2. Can't recall how I heard about it, but was a former Squad Leader player in the late early 80s, the Steel Panthers

    was as close to SL as I had seen so I snapped it up. Got on the board at some point and waited and waited for

    that beta demo. Jeezus, I must have played that thing for hoursssssssssssssss.

    Quit playing CMBO many years ago, took up CMSF for several years, got all the modules but am burned out on modern stuff.

    Even the Afghanistan module goes unplayed. I think the new one will keep me very busy though! I doubt I'll go back to CMSF.

  3. My hope is to snag a space at Endgame in Oakland - dunno if you've been there, but it's very wargamer-friendly - we'd like as not get some drop-ins. If I can't manage that I'll probably get a conference space nearby. There's good eating around there and BART is just a couple blocks away.

    Never been there, but bloody hell, it's next door to Pacific Coast Brewing, and a block from The Trappist both of which I'm fans of.

    Odds of me going have just improved dramatically! :D

    I have stayed at the Marriott right there before. Very nice. Can sometimes get smoking deals (like I did) from Hotwire.

    Yah, BART is a stones throw. I'll take Caltrain up, then to BART. Cool.
