Lol, epic. Im changing my wolf image for the ninja monkey!

The server is not collapsed mate. I downloaded the 5.1 gb file in abour 30 minutes. Speed is fine.

I really like the new in-battle UI, very sleek and modern looking.

Im sorry, i ninja'd the monkey...

Update: All is rosy and working well!

Ah, ok, so its not like a 2 week wait period or something ridiculous like that. Yeh, a day seems fairly reasonable, considering you save almost 30 bucks of shipping cost plus additional customs charges for a hard copy that you dont really need in this day and age.

Does it really take such a long amount of time between pre-order release, and standard release? What is the experience with the past games?

I know I know. Im sitting in front of laptop watching the download completing, grinning from ear to ear anyway. @ Trenchmouth - thats is too funny :-)

NP, but I can see how others may be cheesed off by this excitement. Especially in instances where people wanted a digital only release. Oof, but exciting this day is!

Ive been told off in another post for pulling the strings open, so now I gotta pull them shut...

Astano, thank you for pointing that out to me. My bad. I didnt realise Battlefront operated on a staggered release platform, with pre-orders going out first. When I pre-ordered the game, I just thought it was because it would be cheaper than purchasing it when the game would be released.

Wow, seriously? One cannot be excited and advise others on the board that the game is available for download?

Woop woop. Just wanted to be the first to "chirp" this. Call it a "tactical insertion"

Im so excited and happy, got a flight in 8 hours, which will last 10hours - I can sit there peacefully in my seat waging global superpower warfare on my laptop :-) Thank you very much Chris and the Battlefront team!

Just received an email, went into account, download is there. 5.1 GB zip file.

Im downloading!

Maybe he says something that ends with "это" or "нету" ? Just trying to think of some russian words that may sound similar to gecko or its ending.

I have the feeling it will be tomorrow also. Or Monday next week.

The actual tranlation, which is also applicable to the way it is mentioned in the game, is : "received"

Thanks for that interesting insight guys. I wonder what Russian forces air combat doctrine is at the moment - against ground targets. Lets see how our comrade's planes perform in a few turns!

Thanks for the asnwer. Do planes perform a strike and fly on, or do they loiter for a few turns, engaging targets of opportunity until their weapon load is spent?

Hi Bil, have been following your AAR for a few weeks now, but havent had any cause to pipe in. I have a question: you seem to be counting quite alot on the Air support arriving in a few minutes time. This is the first AAR i have read on CMBS. Is the air support really powerful in this game? Can it be a battle-changer? Thank you in advance, and great job with the AAR and with the battle on the whole.

Best way for Russian forces to take down those pesky M1s is to retreat all the way to Moscow. And wait for winter to set in.

Aww shucks, and here i thought i had a sure-fire way into the beta. What if i mailed you vodka and caviar - would that do it?

OOF! Really excited with the potential release being before end of January. Pre-ordered it yesterday, cant wait to download. If you guys drop the game on the 29th Jan or before, I will love you especially hard. Got an 18 hour flight on 30th Jan, which would be perfect for some solo campaign games of CMBS! By the way, I noticed in the manual on the page listing the beta testers, that there is only 1 (ONE!) Russian named person out of the sixty or so people involved in testing. Thats terrible! I can speak Russian, Ukrainian and English fluently - how about you guys release the game files to me early, so that I can get some tests underway on the spoken and written vocabulary of the Russian and Ukrainian forces ?
