I did know exactly how ya feel. You may be right about the New Caledonia/NZ thing but I checked that ordering info pretty carefully.
Anyway, maybe if you get the game soon we can start a PBEM or something, both of us will be complete newbies to the guys that have had it for over a couple of weeks!!

Hey fullas!!
I got the game today (Tuesday), sweet. It was sent on the 21/06 but the address reads Auckland, New Caledonia. hehe Obviously someone at the packing house has no idea where NZ is or something. Anyway maybe you guys have had the same problem and can expect your copy real soon. I'm off to play a quick battle or maybe a scenario or.....
later

Hey grunto,
The scenarios sound interesting and I would like to play some smaller battles (once I get my copy) - are you uploading them to any of the scenario sites?
-
Charles, you da man! I know I would have never picked up a small bug like that, but
what great service BTS give us.
cheers

Say.. what about a Bledisloe cup of CM for us wargaming computer geeks. Or tri-nations if there are some saffers (South Africans) playing the game...hehe, or maybe i should just shut the hell up.

Sweetas ya nana
Thats great news, a chance of playing CM and a All Blacks win this weekend...choice!
Thanks BTS, I promise no whinging from me if I don't get it before the weekend. Isn't anyone else sick of the amount of whinging on the forum over the last month?? As a kiwi I don't think I've ever experienced anything like it.

I remember these questions coming up a few times and I think;
units get tired faster when running in snow. I'm pretty sure ammo load doesn't effect unit speed (hey the games very detailed but thats just pulling at straws
). Not sure if units will move,run slower in snow. Definitely no tank trails. Try the search function to get the official answers.------------------

exactly pacestick!
Sorry to not post any replys but Jons seems well informed on the actual specifics. I really enjoyed reading about the personal side of things. thanks go to CM for devloping an interest in a part of our history.
One of the great stories I've heard from the desert- was the NZers had erected some dummy trucks etc with canvas, apparently a Stuka came screaming out of the sky and dropped a wooden bomb on it
It's great to think that these guys (friend and foe) had a sense of humour in spite of it all. -
Whoops, I mean today. Is it that late already...

KiwiJoe,
Sweet as! Agreed on the Axis +25%. I'll send you something after work tommorrow.

Hi all,
Allow myself to introduce...myself..
Long time lurker (since November I think, zykes). First post on any forum ever! I've had a blast playing the demo and reading the forum ( learnt heaps thanx guys- you know who you are
), BTS have done a great job, kapai! BTS mentioned there are a number of Kiwis who have preordered - I was just interested to see how many. Yes I know we are all shy flightless birds that only come out at night (except maybe peternz , kiwijoe and titan) but if I can post so can you.
Also having finished reading a great book about the Maori Battalion by Wira Gardiner; what-da-ya fullas reckon (NZ lingo) about having the Maori Battalion included as a squad type in CM3 ???
. I assume NZ, Aussies and the Gurkas will be in? Or will there just be ANZACS etc? I'd be interested to see what your thoughts are on this. (I'm sure it's the last thing on the minds of BTS at the moment!)Finally I think I'm ready to get my arse kicked in a PBEM game; if any of you guys are keen. I could probably get through at least a couple of turns a night. I would prefer a NZer... Hey, I don't think I could stomach getting beaten by an Aussie! just kidding. I don't really mind, another newbie to PBEM would be cool.
Sorry for the random/waffly nature of the post.
Cheers Bro,
SB

PBEM NZ'ers challenge

kiwijoe talks the talk but..
I've played kiwijoe twice! Once in the gold demo where he ran from the battlefield,(screaming like a baby!
), after losing his 105 shermans in Valley of Trouble. I'm not sure of the score because he didn't send me a surrender file 
The other game was a closely fought 1500 pt ME QB. Which he won with a minor or tactical victory. It was my 3rd PBEM game ever. I'm sure the score was a bit better than 82:18?? but I could be dreamin.
I'd say he's a good stick and rudder man who plays to win on points( ie uses the mechanics of the game well eg a Jumbo and a Churchill VIII in our QB, recon vehicle rush ) but probably lacks the finesse of someone like fionn. Not that i've played fionn of course.
If kiwijoe is NZ's next fryberg i think we're in trouble.
NB This post is merely in response to kiwijoe's extravagant claims of NZ CM god status
