  1. 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...

  2. 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.

  3. 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. :P

  4. 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. :D

    And I hope all goes well for your son over there.

  5. 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.
