"BTW did You know that there was only 3 countries that took part in WWII and did NOT get occupied? Yep, Great Britain, Russia and ...Finland! (same goes for capital cities:London, Moscow and Helsinki)" Hmmm.. I think you're missing one or two countries there guy. I can't seem to recall Axis tanks rolling in downtown Ottawa and I'm pretty certain that Canadian troops fired a shot or two in WWII. I'm certain that the Yanks, India, Australia, etc etc etc also have something to say about that statement... Maybe you meant to say "European" Countries?

The answer to Duck is simple. If he would have bothered to click on Specs: http://www.battlefront.com/products/worldwar/cm/cm_specs.html he would have seen: What You Get CD-ROM Printed Manual 1 or 2 players, play-by-e-mail, or hotseat (Internet play coming via free patch) Maybe, BTS should move this to the purchase section just to make it triply clear? Maybe also add: ETA: When it's done.

Does The Patriot qualify? Utterly pathetic movie, I only went to see it since I mistakenly thought that Mel directed it.. Earlier someone mentioned Starship Troopers.. I thought that was a comedy, not a war movie. I haven't laughed so hard during a movie in ages!

Still waiting for my pre order in Chile. Bloody yanks probably sent it by boat. I'm getting very pissed off.

Pillar, try this then: http://144.99.215.215/usamhi/DL/chron.htm#AWorldWarII19391945 If that works, then your ISP has a problem with their DNS Server.

I pre ordered mine a month before it shipped. My credit card has been charged so I know that wasn't the problem. I still haven't recieved it.

Good choice Darwin. Jagged Alliance 2 is a hell of a lot of fun. No real time pressure, lot's of tactics and a blast to play.

As I said in my post, the other option is to allow us to pay for courier delivery. However, I seem to remember that it was too much of a hassle to offer us the choice. Yes, I will happily pay for DHL, Fed-Ex or UPS. I'm used to paying more in freight than the value of the product but at least I know I will actually get the product and that it will arrive within the calender year. As it is, I've placed a small order and am praying that I will see it before CM2 is released. I couldn't get any one else to buy it since they'll just go to Billy Bob's and will be playing it before I do.

Well, I've searched and searched and found nothing. And przy's smug remark really pissed me off. I almost canceled my order when I saw that until I calmed down enough to realize that he doesn't speak for BTS. Maybe BTS could kindly add to their FAQ why international customer's concerns are dismissed?

I also would prefer this option. I happen to live in South America and I'm afraid that USPS will take 3 to 6 months to deliver my order. I ordered 5 copies for me and my friends but we would love to be able to play this game sometime this year. And, yes, the problem is on the USPS side. In Chile, mail is generally delivered within 24 - 48 hours. At least allow me to download the game while I wait for the manual to arrive by mail. I understand the concerns about Warez. I'm sick of seeing people posting ripped ISO's before games are even out of reproduccion. But forcing non-US citizens to wait months for a game to arrive via the Post Office will not stop the thieves, it will actually encourage them. I've talked to a lot of people here that have stated that they WILL pirate the game just because they do not want to wait but they would have bought it if downloading was an option. Why wait 3 to 6 months when Billy Bob's House of WaReZ has it now? In reality, how does this reluctance to use modern delivery systems help stop theft? If I were to pirate the game and sell copies, what difference is it if I buy a CD to rip and zip it over downloading the game and password unzipping it? The end result is a cracked zip on Billy Bob's House of WaReZ. Offering download versions will also allow BTS to have companies like www.outpost.com market and sell the game. This may help reach consumers who otherwise would not have heard of Combat Mission. The other option is for BTS to please reconsider using UPS for overseas shipments. It may be more hassle on your end but UPS is a far more reliable method of delivering the goods. Thanks. P.S. Just to make it clear, I do not condone Warez (robbery) in any way, shape or form. I actively condemn it whenever I can. Billy Bob's House of Warez is a fictional name and any relation to a real site (if it exists) is purely coincedental.

Nice banner. I'll throw it up on my site.

Yes, I have a Vortex 2 card. Turtle Beach Quadzilla. The game runs flawlessly.

I've been pushing it on my site in Chile. I should have a review up shortly as well. So far everyone that's downloaded it has raved about it.
