Looking forward to the EF, and for urban areas would love to see this level of capability for fortifying houses.

I'm still just "Confirmed" status for my pre-order, mine has not yet "Shipped", so no e-mail notification for me yet. I did not pre-order until April, so if they are shipping by when the order was placed, I'm still waiting my turn ... thankfully I've got the download up and running so it's all good, for me. :cool:

The one I've PBEM'ed with is a group of wargamers that started as LeadEaters, then kinda migrated to become the "The Blitz", http://www.theblitz.org/ They have been around for years, and have support for opponents for a number of wargames, in addition to Combat Mission: http://www.theblitz.org/rules_of_engagement/Games-Supported/rid=4 The Combat Mission ladder is at http://www.theblitz.org/ladders/Combat-Mission/action=ladder&lid=1, and the Combat Mission forum is at http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/forumdisplay.php?fid=10 The "Combat Mission Welcome Letter" is posted at: http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=55613 Hope that helps!

I used to PBEM with the old LeadEaters, and migrated when it kinda became the Blitz, so they've been around for a number of years. The Combat Mission ladder is at http://www.theblitz.org/ladders/Combat-Mission/action=ladder&lid=1, and the Combat Mission forum is http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/forumdisplay.php?fid=10. That's where I plan to continue to do the majority of my CM PBEM, but there are other Combat Mission ladders out there, too.

FWIW, I was running Windows 7 64-bit with fairly recent 11.2 ATI drivers, and also had the same issue until I installed the current 11.5 drivers. Just a few months made a difference, the 11.5 did the trick for me, as well.

I had Norton AntiVirus do the same thing to me, it didn't like the fact that I had an executable file downloaded from filefactory with so few users having used it, giving it a "low reputation score"! :eek: Just another example that "the wisdom of crowds" is not always reliable. Otherwise, I've been a satisfied Symantec customer for years, and am happy with the current version of Norton AntiVirus, which so far is unperturbed with the release version of CM:BN, kudos to the team for their hard work to make AV software happy. FWIW, I have not had to fiddle with my installation of Norton AntiVirus to launch CM:BN, so far. :cool:

I agree on the Blu-ray recommendataion, and it appears that Amazon has it on Blu-ray for another $13 off for today only as a "Deal of the Day" for Friday the 13th. I already have it on Blu-ray or I'd take advantage of it at $23.49 (74% off). [commercial url]

I'd also appreciate consideration if there is room. Altho I date back to the "old days", I was not in the RoW mix back then but now I am between wives ...

As others have posted, "Castle" is great! If I could only watch one current TV show, "Castle" would be my pick (I'm also one of the old "Firefly" fans). As per the original topic, WWII is what I'm excited about, more so than Normandy itself ... CM:BB is my favorite CM, but eagerly looking forward to CM:BN.

+1, that's good news.

Thanks for the update, and thanks to all for the hard work getting us to this point.

I agree, CM:BB is my favorite. CM:BN is on pre-order, but I also plan to pick up Panzer Command: Ostfront, too, and hope that PCO will turn out to be an enjoyable tactical experience, as well.

I'm also looking forward to owning both, I don't mind a change of pace with different implementations and look forward to having both fronts available to enjoy ... tactical WW II is my preference, I sure do appreciate the efforts of those giving me options.

June 6th sees the release of Sam Peckinpah's Cross of Iron on Blu-Ray. http://forum.blu-ray.com/united-kingdom/166097-cross-iron.html#post4569326

I'm glad to see WWII back in the mix, I've got mine on pre-order, too.
