this drm sucks hard.its worse than pure evil,but so far i think helpdesk.mojo will give you as many keys as you want, for example you get new mobo, bam , key lost (yes,it could take 1hour or 10 days to get one,your pbem games or other scheduled wego games will wait), you go to help desk and get another one (yes, you ll need to write wall of text ,cd key and other technical info). after 10 days you reinstall windows 7 cos you wathced too many porns and now you need to clean that, bam , key lost. Repeat above.
 
long story short: they ll give you keys, but you need to beg for it (write as if they are doing you a favor) and its not guarantieed 100%
 
edit: so far they were were professional and fast tho. cant complain on that!

Playing these games ruins so many movies...

Just a quick update for me. I got a response to my ticket and all has been sorted out for me. I'll mention that the download from the website did work for me today. Perhaps it was some kind of glitch in the system that was taken care of over night? Not really sure what to think of it, but I now have my copy of CM:BS downloaded and installed, issue free and I'm really enjoying the game. 
 
So my advice would be to maybe wait a few hours or a day and try downloading again from the website, and submit a ticket to the helpdesk. Both should be a solution, as they have both been for me. Good luck!

demo's fine for me

I would think that RA would strive to achieve dominance outside major population centers, blockading roads, bases and other important objectives like they did in Crimea. All that while using local support with SF aid/integration to try and dominate cities in key areas (admin buildings, power plants etc). Shelling cities indiscriminately, like someone above me said is nonsensical since it deleverages whatever limited local support the RA has to achieve success inside cities.
 
Limited use of artillery on hard-points within cities that wouldn't support RA enough to warrant SF deployment only is debatable though. I personally still see air power as a more accurate and adequate method of combating hard-points inside population centers.  

I am in.
