So you are saying I will be playing CMBB before StratComm is ready?
How will I divide my time?
I know, I'll attack Russia, plot a few turns, ALT+TAB over to CMBB(since these are the only two games to use these keys proficiently) and commence a close up "Tank Icon vs Army Icon" in CMBB.
That should keep me busy and get that divorce thing started.
Looking forward to a summer in front of the computer. Too damn hot in Texas in July anyway.

I know it has probably been asked, but a quick search was no help.
Can anyone give a date when BTS will accept orders? Or can someone steer me to a thread that will tell me.
Love the game but that time limit is a bitch! Just when I am doing really well or about to be doing very poorly it's over.

Last night I researched Jet Power and immediately got it. My luck continued the next few turns with increases up to 13 without any additional investments (I didn't know this was possible).
The icons on my air units changed to swept wing --262's I guess. Sound effects also changed on the attack from prop to jet engines.
Surprising discovery. Looking forward to other advances in the full game.

I'm running XP Pro at 1024 x 768 and I played thru the entire demo. Glad it ended when it did because the RED HORDE was marching in on me.
No problems here.

I have an old GeForce card, latest NVIDIA drivers.

Poor Bucket. Here's some salt for those wounds.
It took me about 4 minutes to download. I was averaging 190K I guess. Cable modems rule!!
Unfortunately I spent all evening doing yardwork and decided to check the site before bed. Looks like I may be up awhile longer.
-
Wow, that sounds promising. The demo perhaps?!MUCH more than that heading your way... -
Disregard my ranting above. See the other schmuck's topic who stole my glory and rained on my parade.
Woe is me and stuff.

Damn you !! I was first (I thought)
Oh well.

...to post here in this brand new forum.
So what is SC and where can I learn more about it?

AMD all the way!!
Best chip, best price.
I went AMD long ago because of price and have no complaints. I still have my old 233 in the kid's room and am currently running the discontinued Slot A 700 on an EPOX mobo.
Just supply ample power (300Watts min) and adequate cooling and you should have no worries.
Looking forward to upgrading soon to an XP 1.7 or whatever is the bestest cheapest chip at that as yet undetermined time.

I remember reading something about BTS collaborating with a French company. Are they distributing to the UK as well?
How about Germany with their strange game rules?
I think Matt mentioned a toned-down CMBO was selling there.
And what does early summer sound like to everyone?
June 1st?
-
I agree, they should have shown some other country. Axis or Allies.Was there ever any thought to doing a less US-centric cover for sale in Europe?Speedbump
I think a screen shot would have looked better on the box front also. That would grab the consumers' eye!

Someone take their digital camera to the store and give us a snapshot of our beloved game nestled on the shelves.
A place where the Manifesto said they could not/would not go.
How times have changed.

I really like that idea. I hate to see the board all cluttered with those icons all over the place when you know the enemy has long since moved away.
Puts more 'real' into REALism. How do I get them?
-
I am not using it. Been seeing alot about it and from everyone's praise, it sounds like I should take the leap and get it. Is it available at CMHQ?
Pretty happy with my mods as they are now, but always willing to improve.
I'll prolly get it implemented a week before CMBB is out.

I heard this quarter. If that is true then just 2 more months til the "deadline". My boss said I would get a raise also this quarter.
I bet CMBB is out before I get a raise!
I agree with STed though. They can tenatively schedule a release date, but if bug pops up, BTS will take the time to make it right.
Remember that Ketchup commercial in the 70s?

I have seen this happen more than I care to remember, you would think I would lean. Iguess I always assume the crew isn't that stupid, but they are. My last self-KO? Veteran Puma. Looking at his kills, it says he killed a Puma.
When will I learn?
-
Head Mahone,
I wondered what that little hole was for. I thought it was a seepage hole when the CD would spin too quickly and work up a sweat.
Try as I might, I couldn't get a paper clip in there. I tried it both ways ...head on and sideways.
BTW, 6 weeks left in the year, whens CMBB coming out?
Commence yelling!
-
Go to eBay and get one. The auction may last a week, but the shipping time shouldn't.
And some items you can buy immediately, if you are willing to pay.
Have not even checked to see if there are any on eBay now though. CM is still a HOT item!

Some people feel the need to always correct others. Be it spelling/grammar or historical data on the Widget MKIV.
You are the one who puts in your time and wffort, not them. You are the one who provides a needed service for the CM community. Keep up the good work, look at our positive remarks, ignore the negative.
Randal says it all in Clerks,
"I hope it feels so good to be right. There's nothing more exhilirating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?"

So where do I get the Normandy mod?
Search no workie.
Thanks

Just finished RUNE's Foothills as the Americans.
Great scenario!
Had one platoon with 24 Kills, another had 23. Both of these platoons survived with minimum losses to receive their upcoming medals.
-
Wow, I am surprised.
I thought there would have been more ferners.
Maybe they only come out when discussing world events. China vs. US in April, etc.
There are alot of them still missing. I know BTS sold more than 150 copies!

This is much better than that retina-searing text I saw last night.
Battlefront web site is beautiful.
A web site worthy of a company like BTS.
I guess you guys can afford to plunk down some coinage for that page since things are going/have gone so well for you.
