I think Moon said the manuals will be arriving Tuesday ... a few days behind schedule from the printers. So maybe a Tuesday or Wednesday release for the final product?

Wind at your back, low's to your left (you can take the guy away from the ATC [my career many many years ago], but not the ATC away from the guy).

15 KIA and 14 WIA is good. I managed a decisive win last night but suffered horribly ... 32 KIA and 20 WIA. 20 of those casualties, mind, came when two squads were hit by arty moving across the wooden bridge near the farm ... my screen shot 21 dead/wounded on that strike alone.

Almost 20 of my 52 losses in my latest decisive victory in the tutorial caused when a German artillery shell exploded next to the farmhouse little bridge while two platoons were making their run to the farmhouse. Wow. Nasty. And yet I love this game.

I'm fortunate to be married to a woman who is a bit of a TV junkie ... after I get the kids to bed I normally have all evening away from Bones or CSI or Parenthood or re-runs of Gilmore Girls or whatever junk she's watching to play CM. But unlike Rocky, when she goes to bed, I go to bed

Looks great, thanks! One small spelling mistake in the read me file, "tutorial" is spelled wrong on the last line. The PDF though is fabulous, thanks!

Hi, simple old guy request ... what's the best method for blowing tank-sized holes in bocage in the tutorial? A simple point by point explanation of the best one or two methods please would be most helpful, if someone could help me out, thanks!

The Mac Preview app doesn't display it, when I copied the pdf to my Kindle the De
o message is on each page
Odd. I transfered it onto my iPad 2 and neither GoodReader and iBooks do not display any watermarks.
-
The manual I got in the Mac demo doesn't have that. ???
The OSX manual, agreed, has no watermark of any kind.

I'm now only 1/3 for tutorial mission ... pesky Germans. Loving this. Must pay attention to HE ammo for the mortar's through as I managed once to run one of the teams out. But great firefights in the bocage my last run through.
-
We sure are! Thanks.
I have one too ... about twenty five minutes into my second game ... where do you want the Crash Log sent?
-
I managed a tutorial victory but was surprised (pleasantly and shockingly at the same time) at the strength and tactics of the AI defence. I knew the danger zones just from a recon pre-play but wow, that was a blast. Trying again later. So bloody happy that this is back on OSX.

I have a mirror posted for the OSX version in another thread.

Hi all,
I also have a fairly large amount of spare bandwidth connected to fast-ish pipes (Dreamhost) so I've posted the OSX demo DMG file on one of my servers ... it's a 652.3MB download available here for a few days ...
http://www.theravenking.com/cmbn/CM_Battle_for_Normandy_DEMO.dmg
Enjoy!
P.S. Please post download speeds so I know if it's worthwhile to have up while BF gets more OSX mirrors online.
The Gamershell and others OSX links is now up and offers a large number of very fast download links ... I will keep this link alive for a day or two since you can get really good D/L the GH.
-
I'll have a mirror of the Mac DMG set up in less than 30 minutes now on one of my Dreamhost servers so bandwidth and speed shouldn't be a problem ... will post link when I get to work in a half an hour or so. -- POSTED, see link in other thread http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=96415

Where do you want these reported, btw?
Anyway ... on full screen resolution iMac i3 3.2GHz 4GB RAM and 215 ATI5670 card you notice on the splash/menu screen a multicoloured 1 pixel wide glitch of graphics starting bottom left corner and running full width of bottom of screen.
Posted here ...
Much more noticeable when on screen.
-
I'm seeding the Mac version now ... will have a much faster mirror set up on my server when I get to work in about 90 minutes.
-
iMac i3 3.2GHz 4GB RAM and the 512MB 5670 ATI card ... awesome! Can't wait to see this on my i7 MBP at work today! (Posting Mac mirror for demo soon)
-
I don't think 300 is the magic number, but here's one more bit for the cause if it is. It's still the 11th here and within the 14-21 days ... F5 F5 F5 ...
-
Ah, just like old times!
Not referring to Mord's theatre excursion, are we? (eww, now I feel icky too).
-
The demo is just shy of 600 MB, so unless you have a really fast connection, I would always recommend using some kind of download manager. Some browsers already have one built-in and that should be enough. But it's up to you, and the mirrors we usually use are also entirely independent of us and may have their own systems, as well.
My T3 line is ready and waiting ...

Auto refresh cron job running ... now off to my son's baseball game. Eldest son at home to take command of keyboard and notifications.

I was showing off the demo to a guy at work yesterday (a coder of some exceptional talent, btw) and while I was down at ground level scrolling slowing backwards reviewing my turn action with the mouse and we passed through a Sherman and he was like "What?! They modelled the insides of the tanks! That is so totally awesome!" It takes a lot to impress this guy, worth every second. I think BF made another sale right there.
