Not received in France either. I am not sure that I am too bothered other than the principle. The game really is pretty poor. Eye watering graphics do not really make up for a lack of realism. It is frontal attack after frontal attack. Poor event driven ai - if you bypass the 1st objective but take the deeper ones the counterattacks do not occur !?

I did not get an email. I used the link from the the email i got when I bought the pre-order.

Campaign battles: 10 allies 5 french 15 german 3 polish 14 russian + 7 stand alone battles Should keep me going a while

INCOMING !!!!!!!!! Thanks bf and 1C

intel p4 3.06ghz 1gb ram geForce 6500 sata 160gb Demo runs smoothly, no disk accesses slowing things down.

I pre-ordered before the demo came out. I am glad I pre-ordered. Sure the game maybe have some rough edges - sounds, lack of settings etc.. But I am sure that there will be some interesting patches/ mods from madmatt and moon and the comrades at 1c. I think (perhaps correctly so) people are comparing the game to cmak or cmbb. I think it would be interesting to see how cmak compares to cmbo. In terms of ai and options it is far richer. tow is just the 1st release and I bet it will mature. Well done chaps!

Thanks guys- have downloaded, installed, changed the screen config and run the beast. Wow this is true eye candy (as i guess those on the other side of the pond would call it). A big well done and when can I get my pre-ordered real thing

The whole thing seems a little bit a mish mash of two styles. I mean you do not perform a company defence by micro managing who goes at which bit of a trench - you just assign the squad a trench line and give the, a covered arc. Same surely for a house, "get in the red brick house and face the east". It can't be that difficult - or can it?

Well I would like to than you all for those measured and very mature responses. And as I am see that you have already discussed this to death .. are there any plans to correct this minor discrepancy?

I have seen this mentioned in a couple of threads and earlier reviews and would like some clarification (Okay I know that I will have the real answer when I get my pre-ordered copy )... Is it true that infantry cannot go into buildings? If so does this mean we should not expect to see any fibua and that the scenarios are all open country battles? Are there any other little udfs that we should be aware of? BTW The in game videos look great, and I am happy to wait for the game - I would rather a finished product rather than a buggy release followed by patches.
