Don't feel too bad. The record until someone posts here is about 5 minutes, anyway. I would delete it but someone else will post sooner or later, and it's now too late to un-announce it, anyway.
The other thing is that even if pre-order downloads are enabled, you still have to pre-order (and e.g. pay for shipping) in order to get it. People who do not want that (and want just the downlod) will have to wait for the official release (which is planned within the next 36 hours).
My apologies.just the same. It's funny; I seem to recall a similar warning in my preorder email.for.BN, which I actually read and heeded. I don't get excited about a whole lot these days but it really is an excellent game that I look forward to during my increasingly limited gaming time. Cheers.

oh good I am pleased, the man who spilt the beans gets in last
Heh, seems so. I won't be clogging the servers, anyway...

Too late mate, what's done is done. You are not the 1st nor the last and your excitement is understandable.
ps what size is your download?
I am at work and won't be at my comp for a while yet.
-
Heh, sorry . Got excite and didnt reas the whole thing. Please feel free rto delete this thread, admin.

...for download. It's not on the front page of the site, but i got an email saying so. Wish i were in a place to independently confirm that, but it will be a while for me.

Compare this to Cliffs of Dover where after a year there is too much broken for me to even bother with it. Now that is annoying for me after spending over £3000 just so that I could play it.
As Baneman said, you should give www.riseofflight.com a try. You could do a ton of flying with the "demo," which is the full sim with a few starter planes. In my view, it is a true spiritual successor to Red Baron. It is such a good sim that i, admittedly not a flight-sim expert, still kinf of suck at it after more time than I'd care to admit.

...we're officially in the 1-week window for release posted with the Mac preorder announcement...

Cool, thanks for the response.

Thanks for posting the manual to be viewed online, but is there any chance of posting a downloadable version? it'd be nice to be able to put it on my Kindle, so I can read it while I'm supposed to be working.

Would like to see the pics, if you have the time to post them. I'm probably not worthy of my lighter, as I've never served. I should probably give mine to your vet buddy, too, but I like looking at it too much and running my thumb over the old engraving. It sparks my imagination, as well as my smokes.
-
Nice that your lighters are marked Special Forces. I hope yours are a standard size. Mine is smaller, and none of the standardized supplies fit. I had to break open a miniature disposable Bic to steal its flint, and I had to cut three threads from a throw rug and braid them together for my wick.
-
I've also begun watching Band of Brothers. While bored at work, at times like now, I stare wistfully at the WWII Zippo-style lighter I use, although I believe it's from the Pacific Theatre, considering it's engraved with an image of Mt. Fuji and all.

I just got married, and I'm broke. Good thing I pre-ordered CMBN. An even better thing I have a laptop and a power inverter to charge it when I get divorced and am sleeping in my car...I figure, oh, some time in mid/late May.

Thank You to Battlefront for making great games which have consumed a notable percentage of my life when I could have been getting a tan, a date, eating, making money or doing something socially productive.
My thanks, as well.
Being socially productive is overrated.
And I hope all goes well for your son over there.

Thought i'd poke my head up and say hi, i wondered if there were others of us out there.
I was a big fan of the original CM and it's 2 exspansions. My friends and I played hundreds of PBEM games but I never really joined the larger community. Still I tended to lurk here to read interesting threads and feel a part of something a bit bigger than my group.
CM:SF never got a hold of me, maybe it was the setting or maybe it was that it ran poorly for me, at least initially. So I slipped away from the community.
Now with CM2 nearing release I've been an avid forum reader, refreshings a few times a day to follow all the AAR's and the debates.
I'm curious if there are other "regulars" out there like me that don't end up posting much if at all.
Exact same boat as you described above. SF never grabbed me. Been lurking again with CM:BN on the horizon. Not sure I ever signed up for the forums back with the first CM. It appears I may have with a different email addy, but that was many years ago. Signed up anew a couple days ago. Anticipation of BN got the better of me and popped my head out of my hole.

Going to read the manual. Plan on doing this one right, and it's been a long time since I've read the original manual. Didn't mess around with CM:SF all that much.
I'll also probably sneak into at least part of a QB, just to have a look at things, before I'm done reading the manual.
-
The new shots look great. Terrain looks good and looks ripe for ambushes. Stay low, soldier.
Pre-ordered before I saw these, but they might have pushed me over the edge if I hadn't. Like what I've been reading, too. Look forward to my copy.
Well, it was worth the wait

I've gotten away from BN lately. I've gotten away from gaming in general. I finally got some time today to play a CW quick battle, which wasn't so quick. Turned into a pretty involved attack on my part, the Brits, against mixed Germans on a medium-sized city map. (This, by the way, was one of the new QB maps. Kudos to the map designers, as I found this new one particularly entertaining: more routes through barriers and plenty of possibilities for using buildings for cover that made for a very fun and bloody march forward. Dig the new maps.)
Today was the most fun I've had playing a game in longer-than-recent memory. It was truly thrilling. Who says turn-based games aren't exciting? I actually cried out a couple of times watching the WeGo resolution, which is definitely not something I normally do.
So, thanks for making CW, making me yell at my monitor and renewing my interest in gaming.
...and thanks for the new well-designed QB maps...
