Since the F&R release date pool was so popular and the CW release is imminent, I thought I'd start another one. Winner gets upvoted to infinity and beyond.
I'm going with April 30th since I think BF can still make April. That's only 3 days but I have faith! What does our resident skeptic think @Aragorn2002???

Haven't checked yet. Do we already have F&R mods sitting out there awaiting download? I mean, it's already been almost 24 hours since release!

That would be redundant
Well, unless you consider us folks who work on making Combat Mission. But technically speaking, we don't have real jobs. At least that's what our parents and peers said 30 years ago ("that's not a job, that's a hobby").

Lol!!!

No patience is not my strong side. In my meager defense I have been retired for about 10 years now...I don't golf and I don't surf....I do walk my three dogs and love my disabled wife of 29 years. Just saying
Congratulations! I just retired in November. Working on some health issues, but other than that, any recommendations on retirement did and don'ts?

@markus544, call me crazy, but something tells me that patience is not your strong suit.

NICE! I have to say, that was one of the most fun games I've ever played. Our testing group felt the same way. Such a shame it didn't catch on.
Steve
I wonder... With the new Steam audience, do you think it would be more likely to catch on?

First turn sent! Woohoo!!! \o/

Hint at a game that includes the Spanish? Spanish Civil War, or maybe very interestingly, the Ifni War? The Spanish could use some CM love haha.
I thought Combat Mission:Starship Troopers was next.

With Cold War we have a different situation. The game is done in all respects except for the new PBEM system. Getting feedback on that one part of the game should work out great for everybody. This sort of feature needs a lot of people hammering on it under a huge variety of hardware and software combinations.

You have to use offline mode.
How did you activate the BF version without an internet connection?
I activated it using my phone in tether mode, but we had an ice storm that knocked out our connection for several days.

It usually costs a bit more, but it's worth it if in the distant future anything happens with Steam or your online connection goes pear shaped.
Yeah, I had built a new computer and decided to load my Steam version instead of my BF version. My internet went out and for whatever reason it would not let me start Black Sea. I went ahead and just installed my BF version and use it. I'm sure this rarely happens, but that is why I play using my BF version. But like Harry said, it may be a little more expensive, but I don't mind a few extra $$$ going to BF.

We used that approach for years with Kerbal Space Program. Some folks loved helping out o/, some got frustrated with the process. I loved it. I can point to so many elements in the game that were my idea or I helped the small development team debug. I really feel a part of that game and have an unquavering loyalty towards it.
There would always be an official release and a test release that was a more unstable build. We had an 'experimentals' team and a great bug reporting system. That helped a playtester go from a report of "The rocket engine doesn't work' to a report of exactly when, where, how, etc.. with screenshots or videos and a thorough description and seriousness of the problem.

Sorry for the delay y'all. RL stuff has been getting in the way of my PBEM games. If you can just bare with me a little longer.

What is the difference to buy to the Steam instead BFC, Sitlerine... website ?
Steve, can you not added a "service of wallet" to your website to pre order like Steam?
I wonder if Crypto currency would even out those giant price swings?
Hi @Dogukan o/ Stay safe there in Turkey. That close to ongoing conflicts must be kinda scary.

I listened to the audiobook, so I missed out on the typos.

What kinds of features are y'all looking for going from 2 to 3?

Just finished the book. Sounds like fun!

I believe Steam puts the game files directory in a different place than the Battlefront install

I did not know that such tool existed. Thanks a lot it is very useful!
PS
I am testing it with my CMBN and CMFI existing games and seems to work very well. It does not recognize my CMSF2 games (Steam install) though.Yes it will recognize them. You just have to point it to the right directories.
Whose Turn is It is what I use. @IanL, do you want to tell'em about some of the improvements you have planned?
