Stopped drinking alcohol 5-6 years ago. I've seen to many lives ruined by it. Of course, then I started playing computer games too much....the lives ruined tally hasn't gotten high enough yet for me to swear off my PC...

Why is it some people just can't understand the concept "If you don't like the thread, don't read it." It's such a simple concept. There are plenty of threads on here that I dont' even bother with looking at, but I'm sure other people are interested in reading. Here's a little help for those who are challenged in this area: 1. Read the title of the thread. 2. Decide if you are interested in it. 3. If so, read it. 4. If not, skip it. (Admittedly sarcastic) Public Service Message to the disciminationally challenged.

Finally, today I get it!!!!! Shipped date on package was 6/21/00, 3 days from VT to VA. Hmm, where's that Quick Battle thingie.... Bitching mode: Off

Still nothing. Any further comments would likely get me kicked off this board.

This is getting real old. Another day, still not here. I don't think it's the Post Office either. My P.O. has always been on top of things (I win bids on eBay all the time and get shipments 2-3 days even across the country. Where's the game I paid for? Don't pass my buck BTS, no one else along the line took any of my money for this product.

Once you fulfill one set of needs (food, water, shelter), you advance to a higher set of needs. Combat Mission rates just higher than shelter I think...

If you look at the end battle of Saving Private Ryan (which I'm not suggesting is reality, just a reasonable representation of realistic possibility) you can easily see how many men can be very close to enemy tanks and survive for awhile. It's actually quite dangerous for the tank at times to be that close to infantry.

Silly me, I thought I read on here somewhere that they didn't charge your card until they shipped the game. Now I see they charge the cards well before the game goes out the door (4-5 days in some cases). There goes my hopes of getting it before the weekend, which earlier we were advised that if we would likely get it by Friday. Whats the next thing gonna be??

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Shooter: Here it is Thursday and I'm back at work after taking off two days in anticipation of getting to play CM for two solid days straight! Kinda hard to do since I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE GAME YET! Virginia's only 600 miles away! Have there been any reports of mail trucks being hijacked? Any alien abductions of mailmen carrying packages? Inquiring minds want to know. WAH!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> How do you like this? I live in Va. Beach, VA. I just got a USPS priority mail shipment from CA that was mailed out this past Monday. Califreakinfornia! My credit card was billed Monday for Combat Mission, which I believe is in Vermont, and I still haven't gotten it!!!! CA to VA - 3 days, VT to VA - ???? You sure you shipped my order BTS?

No luck again today, though now I see the charge on my credit card, charged on the 19th. It must at least be on the way.... GET IN MY BELLY WEE GAME!!!!!

Does the random battle maker generate a random map as well, or does it (or you) pick a pre-designed map for the battle?

I know I'm not getting mine anytime soon, my credit card hasn't even been charged yet. Geez, this friggin wait is driving me crazy... Can anyone at Big Time tell us if the pre-orders are all out the door yet? Are you shipping new orders yet? VernS

Some people do things out of enjoyment rather than necessity.
