Please pardon my newbieness, but I haven't spotted anything on this so far - has anyone devised a full-blown campaign system using CMBO to fight the actual battles, yet? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know via an email to nocturnal@clara.co.uk Thanks, Esme

I posted as I did to let the chaps that make CMBB know how strongly I feel about the situation. I dont very often visit here (yet) because I havent got either game (yet). Regarding why I posted here rather than to CDV, it's because CDV clearly dont give a monkeys, whereas CMBBs designers do. My hope is that the latter may eventually find some way for us non-US folks to be able to obtain CMBB without having to go through the likes of CDV. But why would they bother if they don't hear folks opinion? So here's my personal opinion... Also note that there's nothing that says that a company HAS to release it in their home country before the rest of the world, and indeed, CDV have gone against the express wishes of CMBBs developers in NOT releasing the game in Europe at the same time it's being released in the US. Esme PS: Lobo; there's no need to be rude. I can't play a game that hasn't been released by CDV, can I? Nor do I want to buy from a shop that sells porn. Plenty of other software retailers - plus I don't have a credit card, either - but a debit card works just as well and is easier to obtain.

Sorry, but I'm sick and tired of this malarkey about games released first in the US and then the rest of the world (and in WW2OL's case, England being behind the rest of Europe and EB/Game claiming they hadn't even HEARD of the game well after itd been released in the US, sold by EB US, and the European release date days away, the UK one supposedly shortly behind it). If CDV are also following this long, stupid and dishonourable trend - and kudos to the chaps at Battlefront for TRYING to get their game released worldwide simulataneously - then I for one simply will not deal with them. I'd rather pay an American friend to ship me copies from there than put money in the pocket of a company that plays silly buggers with the distribution, AND I dont want to give any money to a company that sells such sad (presumably) soft porn (no pun intended) as the rest of its catalogue, either. I havent yet the first CM, because I was introduced to the demo just before CMBB (which interests me more) was advertised as being imminent. I really wanted to order the twin pack, buy both games at a reduced price. I still want to. I dont mind paying the shipping charges from the US for games this good. Isn't there ANY facility for buying direct from the US for folks in the UK?? I certainly feel somewhat cheated by CDV already and they havent had a penny from me yet (nor will they ever now). Esme
