hmm that's ugly. Thanks for pointing it out sanman, I didn't know that, the warnings aren't exactly in your face. Best backup Shockforce then!

Well, I was excited after trying the russian demo, but not so much now. I'm not going into details, but I don't think I'm going to buy for now. I don't quite know why, I just found it very hard work to play, and there are more than a few ai annoyances. I feel like I'm battling the UI, AI, and other stuff, rather than an enemy. There's been a ton of good releases lately most of which I've bought and enjoyed, but so far, this doesn't cut it for me. I'll watch with interest and continue to enjoy CM:SF and ToW.

Really pleased with the demo, I downloaded only to see how it ran on my PC, and with that alone I'm very happy. It runs better than ToW1 with all settings on high, swooping about with the camera on all zoom levels and unit activity/numbers. The game itself looks superb, more refined, just the thing I'm looking for, had a lot of fun with the Brits. Can't wait for English demo, but I'm almost certain now to buy. All settings High, no HDR, x4 AA My Spec is; intel P4 3ghz cpu Ati HD4830 2gb RAM Res 1680x1050

Ah no worries just surprised me. Anyway, I played the CMAK demo and I enjoyed it, so I'll get it from Battlefront in the new year. I did look on ebay but no joy for either, there was however a Shockforce with the mouse mat, map and manual, so bought that for a fiver, so now I have it twice, hohum. Just don't tell my wife. Thanks for replies!

ok (this is about CM:AK stick with me), having been burned by ToW, I avoided CM:SF on release, which seemed to be the right thing for me to do, as now not only were the follow up reviews for v1.10 good but Gamersgate had it for a cool 9.99 Euros, less then a tenner in my money, ergo, bargain and worth a shot, especially with the Brits on the way. I wasnt mistaken, and I'm really pleased with it, barring a few niggles (mainly pathing), I've had a good time playing it. So feeling the warm fuzzy I returned henceforth for some cmx1 action, but what is this? Gamersgate has CM:AK at a whopping 25euros? From what I can tell the last patch for CM:AK was in 2004, the warm fuzzy faded. I fully expected my bargain haul of CM goodness to continue, but I'm stopped dead in my tracks. Now that means I can get the CMAK bundle (with the book) for £5 cheaper than just the game at Gamersgate, but I'll have to wait for delivery. So I think I'll hang fire on that for now, but thought it worth pointing out. Perhaps there is some mistake? Even CM:BO is more expensive than Shockforce.

First, and probably last, post. I'm a bit dissapointed. ToW was my first Battlefront game and I was pretty excited given the pedigree of combat mission, which for some reason passed me by. I pre-ordered, but never really got into it for a variety of issues which I won't go into as nobody likes to hear it and it's mostly been said before. Re-installed for this patch though but after persisting it just isn't going to happen for me. There are far too many immersion killers and simple basic "what the hell??" moments. In my own opinion the game simply doesn't come anywhere near being realistic enough, I cannot get past the issues that are causing this to even begin to enjoy any kind of tactical challenge. But thankyou, I appreciate a lot of work has gone into it.
