Posted by BF on April 20th ... "Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy is scheduled for release within the next 14-21 days." Make of that what you will. (Back to reading the manual now).

Studying right now, sir! Oopsie! -> Page 21, line 4 ... found first mistake ... "The picture to the right can serve as a guide." The picture is to the left. Martin ... Should we send these little things into the BF staff in any way? P.S. I agree with Destraex1 ... as soon as the PDF version appears it's on my iPad 2, where all my game manuals live.

Indeed, that AAR is really engaging, and my Spanish is terrible. But awesome AAR, agreed.

Call yourselves whatever you like ... but based on how my relatives from Kilsyth (halfway between Glasgow and Sterling at the base of the Campsie Fells) pronounce the words "highland cows" I'm not sure I can trust your guide to names.

It's still 8-15 days from the notice on the 20th saying 2-3 weeks. Assume that the SteelBook box is done long ago (no reason the details would change much on that), so given what I know about the print and media business, fulfillment on a DVD run on the scale BF is doing (small compared to some runs I've ordered for clients) might take only 3 days or so to finish, then packing and distribution to BF, then packing for clients to fulfill orders. Given a 15 day window, that's more than enough time to go GM, send burnable master EXE and app image to the manufacturer, burn and silkscreen the one side (the later possibly done already), get them to BF and mailed (assuming they're not using a mail order fulfillment place or direct mail from the printers after sending their customer list over). I'm assuming the rule book is all done if Martin's getting it prepped for online, but even that's a small print run (offset or digital) including trim and perfect binding. 8-15 days easy if they are ready.

Yup. F sharp is still G flat and all that. Roughly May 4-11 according to BF's last mention, right?

What the hell is a "Zune"?

Not going to stop me from trying to run CMBN on my iMac via a VNC client like Screens on my iPad 2. I've run Photoshop and Cinema 4D so I'll give it a try for fun. It probably won't be fun, but I'll snap a pic anyway just for giggles. Is it May 4 to 11 yet??

Awesome. We have a T3 connection to our office shared by only about 20 people so I should get a decent download speed, then. Thanks.

Awesome, thanks.

Thanks for posting that, Akira!

You're pregnant! Well hot damn, congratulations!

Semi-historic, and historic when the Commonwealth module comes out. Usually pretty small scale stuff but bigger battlefields for manoeuvring. Mostly infantry based and probably on the level of a company or less ... I'm interested in small scale tactics. Looking greatly forward to the editor. I'm a WeGo player too. I might tinker with one small RT battle just to see, but the WeGo mechanism is one of the things I was stunned and loved about the CMx1 series.

Truth! The entire no RAVE on OSX debacle left a bad taste for many. Grrr. But it's back. Finally back ... tee hee (dancing like a silly 48 year old).

Oh, you cheater, you Ditto. When it gets released we all get an email anyway. Weekend I guess spent doing house repairs and starting my take-down of the backyard fence that I'm replacing late May.

^ This. Sniff. *pop*

For any OSX users ... this game is both highly recommended and runs perfectly in a virtual PC environment like Sun's VirtualBox etc. I'm in the midst of a German vs Russian game right now and winning, but got one of my tanks bogged down in a stream and out of game for many turns (grr).

Agreed. Outstanding effort for the community. Thanks!

I'm one of the ones seeking clarification on that wording ... "Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy is scheduled for release within the next 14-21 days. Once released, it will be available in a PC and a Mac OS X version ..." It says CM is scheduled for release, not the CM OSX version specifically. From the way it's worded it sounds like both PC and OS versions will hit at the same time, some 14-21 days from now. Anyone else read that the same way? Could a BF god clarify for us, please?

Order placed!!! Woot! Back on Mac baby!!!!

Then you're obviously not using your Echo CS-600P chain saw's very cool torque feature correctly.

Ha! Truer words never spoken. As long as I get this, the decade long drought was worth it (something about being busy raising two kids took my mind off the pain).

You sir, are a tribute to the community. Thanks for making the great effort to pass these along to the community. You're owed a beer or two.

Thought he mentioned using FRAPS in another thread.

Precisely. I'd take any mention of a release date not on the BF site and in these forums with a huge lump of salt. Yes, we're all chomping at the bit (OSX users even more-so, still not yet even having the option to order the bloody thing) but it'll be released when Steve and the gang say so ... not a moment sooner.
