Probably lots of DLs at other sites. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hey thats good ! So its a pretty good bet most of the folks if not all that downloaded bought the game. I'll be conservative ans say 25,000 sales in the bag right now. We need to sell at least another 25k copies to ensure a sequel huh? But I dont think that will be a problem when the reviews come out

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Spook: Here's one little gauge: The Combat Mission HQ Annex (at the Gamers Net) is sponsoring a "Combat Mission Meta Campaign" to create a role-playing command environment between multiple players. It's not often talked about here, but insofar, about 200 players have already signed up (with about 20 gamemasters or GM's) before they've even had CM to play with.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> So 220 people bought the game? Hmm i think we need more

I dont see the problem with a player quitting even in the first turn if he/she wants to. I think it could be fairly argued that there should even be a "battlefield integrity" rule in most cases where one side, withdraws from battle when losses reach a certain percentage. That was a feature of ASL I believe which was after all part of the original concept of CM and its not only realistic but needed with exceptions only for certain "fanatical" units that may be compelled to fight to the last man i.e. SS, Japanese, certain Soviet units and perhaps U.S. Marines and Finns in 1939/40. Also it is a game after all, I am in it for enjoyment, not to be humiliated. I dont see a problem with quitting anytime in the game as long as the player concedes defeat and acknowledges the opposing player as the victor.

I am a big fan of the Steel Panthers series, and am enjoying SPWAW very much. I just played a North Africa scenario called "Knightsbridge" based on the actual engagement. I played Brits against the AI Germans. It was a slugfest of a game, heavy losses on both sides. In the end the Germans came out with a marginal victory. Not sure but I may have done slightly better then the U.K. forces historically did. The AI does seem to be improved a little bit, or I could be a little rusty or both. Anyway I like it.. I am on to Kursk for my next battle. When I get CM I will probably split time with both games.

They have some fine books on the war, perhaps you could pick up one. Or try your local library. I am sure there is excellent literature for your reading pleasure there too and its free. Or how about going to one of the numerous department stores and check out the magazine stand?

As for me the next time I learn anything regarding CM will be when Combat Simulations puts out an article that it has been released or the alert email BTS sends me periodically. I won't be returning to this message board anymore My feelings regarding the change is a loud and definate BOOOO!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> GRRRRrrr! well Steve asked me to tone it down so I guess i better. All I can say is sorry you feel that way WarDogz and remember to mind the Door/Ass axiom.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Big Time Software: Armorbuff, while I understand and agree with you point point (i.e. trying to snuff out a baseless rummor), I ask you to tone it down in the future. Barbarossa didn't mean anything evil in his post. Even if he had, I can deal with it just fine Steve<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Duly noted. Sorry to create a ruckus. Those !!! and 's can make a person display more emotion then was actually experienced I guess. I'll try to contain it

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Barbarossa: armorbuff: I'm sorry that I have upset you so. I was simply asking a general question. It sounds to me that you're more stressed out about the release of CM than I am. I have been waiting around a year for this game and can certainly wait a "coupla" or "several" more weeks ... Barbarossa <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> No you didnt upset me. These darn message boards always make people sound exagerated one way or the other. I have been awaiting the game about a year also.Am I more stressed than you about it? Probably. Do I need prozac? Maybe. Got some? Anyways looks like Steve has straightened out everyone on the matter.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Barbarossa: If I'm not mistaken, we are experiencing a several week delay in the release of CM because of some unforeseen problems with the printing of the manual at the printers. Barbarossa<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> ALL RIGHT THATS IT!!! Some of you people are starting to REALLy Piss me OFF!!! Theres no "Several week Delay"!!! Its a coupla weeks at most!! Why dont you stop your damn whining and wait for it like everyone else??? Like the BTS folks intentionally delayed it, yeah right. They did it just to piss you off.
