I'm gonna take a shot at this and say, April 2 2014

Oh, God this is deteriorating fast back to the unfunny jokes and light bantering for the very reason I usually don't read or participate in too many posts here. Weapon2010, you like my last line about inquiring, my original post was disrespectful and insulting and how about blasphemous- "to thine wholly BFC" "I should have said it that way in the first place" yes it would have sounded better (and wouldn't have offended so many.) (maybe I just didn't feel like it at the time.) So I was wrong (You like that, good). Really, now, when's the last time you admitted you were wrong? Some how I can't imagine you ever saying you are wrong either. There's someone else here I can't imagine doing that either. By the way, just for the record, its 3 days from being 6 weeks not 5. Go to your calender and count from the third of April (if that is in fact the date the expected release was announced) you will see. Ok, enough for me, enough! Glad we're all getting along now but I must be on my way! Just forget me and ignore the original thread I made and continue along the normal tone of BFC forum threads. As for Gustov Line coming out early next week I too have a strong feeling it will be. Hope you all enjoy it.

I already admitted to being a little impatient and in all intents and purposes its been 6 weeks and more than 4 weeks so I have a right to inquire what is going on especially if I am showing my eagerness to purchase it. You reread my post and as for girls who knows maybe you aren't the big mountain of a man you clam to be over the internet what's more I know women who are like mountains and they eat so much they'd probably eat an aircraft carrier if the had the chance. Lets stop pointing the finger and accusing me and my post of being insulting that is a bit of a stretch in fact some of you are the ones who are blatantly insulting me-what for, are you expecting maybe a free copy? There is nothing in my thread trollish or insulting but if you want to perceive it that way well then to quote you "I would hate it if this forum turned into a place for girls" Now, first, thank you, normal dude, for letting me know that it is nearing the end and will be out soon! So knowing the team is quite busy finishing this module, nonetheless, I don't think I should have to apologize for asking if anyone has any information on the progress of the game now that we are past 4 weeks and very near 6.

I see you provided use with a picture of yourself GreenAsJade. LOL

Thanks waycool and port for the information and I apologize to Steve and whoever it may concern in the dev and testing department if I come off as a little impatient. As for Weapon2010 and vanir Ausf B guess I have to consider there age didn't know we had mouthy teenagers in this forum.

I don't know who you think you are here in BF forum but don't talk to me like that. That is trolling and what surprises me is that fact that if enough of you are talking like this, abusively, seems you will get away with it no matter how trollish or abusive (the general trend here I noticed) as long as you think you are in some way defending battlefront. I already stated that I realize there is a lot of work going into this and as for it being 6 weeks yes it will be in a few days if you are correct about the date being the 3rd of April. You get a clue (and grow up) it has been stated or I should say admitted many times in the past, in this forum that if a battlefront game is expected in a week it will be 2 or three weeks according to that track record. That said its no big deal many developers have to do this there is no way of tell how long it is going to take. And as for it being polished and ready fact is no game ever is (games are really never finished) even months after release and this is virtually all games and software. Nonetheless some would prefer it take for ever they get some kind of satisfaction out of waiting and talking about it-to each their- own I just want to download and play it and if I find a bug I will either wait patiently for it to be fixed or report it in a mature and civil way. In any case there are people who will complain to no end especially of realistic accuracy and balance, nit pick as to what is a bug and what isn't. They are never satisfied and can't wait for a game to come out so they can start whining about how disappointed they are and how they are too good for the game being that way. It is a fact that this will always happen no matter what game for expansion. Trust me you wouldn't even think of "smacking" me if you were sitting across from me and saw me in person nor would you talk like that, I am no small guy and have had extensive physical training. How easy you can say all this online in a forum.

I remember it being said (Steve, moon somebody who should know) at least 6 weeks ago that the expansion would be out in 4 - 6 weeks and long before this that it as actually announced on the main site page. What happened got pushed back... again. Seems if a game here is said it will be out in a month that means at least 2 or 3 even 6 months. So maybe in another 2-4 weeks it will be out. A lot of work goes into these game no doubt and what with all the new formations, but they are after all using the same engine and recycling the same map and location types from the previous module and a lot of the same equipment. Its not like they are creating something wholly new like an eastern front campaign. I'm assuming they ran into some problems: such is the nature of programming complex simulations, oh, well when it's ready its...ready. Can't wait!

So basically with iron there is the possibility for friendly fire casualties.

Though I guess its good to not save your during battle. In a MP game no one can reload. I most believe I saved alot when I was playing the razerback ridge battle.

Ha, I assumed it was like XCOM where you can't save anytime during the battle. I've "save scummed" as they call it like crazy on some of those long battles were the odds were against me.

your own units do not automatically spot each other when in LOS of each other. __________________ Something I'm a little unclear about here. So does iron not allow you to save through the entire battle or does it just have to do with friendly fire and LOS?

Just curious I always play RT elite and even with a lot of saves I find it quite difficult depending on the battle or campaign of course. I learn about what I should have done:) Iron is probably more authentic and not cheating as some would say. Where you get only one chance to make your decisions and little to no mistakes, just as you would in a H2H battle. But it would seem quite hard and at times impossible and maybe even take more time if you are restarting the whole battle which I sometime do.

There is a reason why artillery, mortars, and tanks are considered important elements in an attack. And that's because HMGs do not have "long range punch". They have, at best, "long range annoyance". Interest, young man, I'll remember that.

Killkess, I've seen this time and time again in my games as well and don't understand how I can lose a whole company on the run from an artillery gunner or forward observer that can't even see my troops hiding at the bottom of a hill.

I tried a few quick battles might as well beat all the campaigns and most of the battles. But I see quick battles are still a waste of time. AI is brain dead with no script. All you have to do is go off the beaten path and catch them off guard. Maybe, in the future CM will have more of a dynamic AI.
