I to am an ADC member, with both dev licenses for OSX and iOS. 10.7? Nice goodness (that is, if I hypothetically have it installed on my second machine). Run it on my main iMac and risk not running a CM after a ten year drought? Not right now

Hear, hear! My opinion is identical. Only tactical WW2 game that "got it" ... can't wait to pre-order CMBN. Phil C????

Love the mortars finally re-aiming and raining down on the Yank squads behind the hedgerows as the breach team of Germans moved down the centre in the second battle. The close up of the mortar team firing was nice.

Ladies and gentlemen, Pvt. Ryan! he's here all week .. please, try the fresh mackerel, it's delicious.

Snow Leopard is the minimum requirement. I have to assume Lion will work fine when it gets released late this summer (?), but given the OSX version is still "out there" we don't know how far along any testing in 10.7 might be, if the spectacularly talented OSX programmer (and hell of a man, rumour has it) Phil has even bothered to set up a separate dev machine with the latest dev build of 10.7.

Waiting and watching and thinking am I.

Most of the offices that deal with war records have extraordinarily friendly and helpful staff. In my search for my late father-in-laws wartimes records (and why he was awarded the Polish Cross of Valour for a feat of outstanding personal bravery on the battlefield) and mentions in dispatches, I've probably dealt with five or six different offices, and every one of them has been a simply stellar experience. One office even went so far as to let my wife know her father was entitled to but had never been given a number of medals and couriered them to our home in Canada with a delightful letter signed (and personally annotated) by someone high up in the current British Army.

Awesome, thanks!

Hear, hear! The last RTS game this old man could handle was Rise of Nations and only because it limited the number of things you could build per city ... stuff like Starcraft II is a sickening blur of WTF-RTS for me. Never managed to play any RTS like those well. But to each his own ... one man's fish is another man's poisson after all. WeGo all the way, baby. That's the beauty of CMBN ... play whatever one turns your handle.

I'd still be playing CMBO et al if it weren't for Apple's decision to nix RAVE back in 01. Old timer who skipped generation(s) of CM goodness? Yes, certainly. By choice? No. And I'm still mad about it. WeGo for me too.

Thanks to all ... managed to use a Firefox add-on, the old method of not needing an extension in Safari (on OSX) of d/ling vids has been broken/"fixed" by the parties involved. FF 4 managing it OK. Thanks. Again, great video!

Tyrspawn ... as mentioned by others ... WeGo, some up close MG firing, and perhaps a link to download and savour at our leisure? I'd love to grab the video and savour it ... if you could post it for download somewhere, that'd be nice. I can host on one of my servers if you want.

Didn't your mom always tell you to keep your monkey fresh in case you have an accident and have to go to the hospital?

Yup. Just five months ago a village was evacuated to remove the 30 tons of leftovers from a WWI German munitions dump ... http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,730699,00.html And let's not forget the massive amount of unexploded explosives packed in tunnels under farms along the Western Front ... http://www.1976design.com/blog/archive/2004/04/18/largest-unexploded-bomb/

I could kiss you for posting this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

10.6 is the minimum requirement. The iMac will have Snow Leopard (10.6) installed already. Just hit the software update and you'' have the latest 10.6.7. 10.7 (late summer?) will be a $29 or $129 upgrade or somewhere in-between. As a dev I already run 10.7 on a non-production machine at home. It's nice. I'll still run CMBN on my 27" iMac with 10.6.7 when it arrives though.

Not that I'm aware. I have a faint recollection of reading something posted by Moon or other BF staff that had the order of how things were going down a ways back, or perhaps not. I thought I'd read that the D/L day and mailing day would be simultaneous, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me if I'm wrong. Oh, maybe I should take the upcoming Monday off too, for that four day break.

Those are coming in the Mediterranean module, no?

Major Houlihan I'm shocked!

Agreed, thanks for the great link.

No! I am in no way shape or form part of the official BF team ... I am simply a gamer happy to see the CM series back on OSX after nearly a decade. This is my way of spreading the game around. I picked one week for the "contest" simply because it works for my own schedule.

Hi all, As per one of my previous postings, I have finally announced how to win a downloadable license and copy of the upcoming OSX version of CMBN. Details have been posted (my 3,300th post) on the Inside Mac Game forums here ... http://www.insidemacgames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41653 To win you'll need to visit the IMG forums, without question the finest Mac gaming forums online, and send me a PM via that forum with the answer to my posted question. I'm only giving one copy away so hit the forums and PM me the answer. Answer needs to be sent by the morning of Friday April 22. Good luck! (Again, this is for one OSX copy of CMBN to celebrate the return of the series to the Apple platform after nearly a decade.)

This has to be one of the simplest, clearest, most rational developer explanations about DRM I've read in a long time. Bravo, Steve, for taking the time.

Wow, that brings back memories. I'm sure I had Japanese units (tanks for sure) in one mod that I really enjoyed, thanks for the way-back!

I agree completely. Just pointing out that bridge demolition, right up to the time an attacking force was present, was fairly common in some campaigns.
