    Likely answer is one post above:

    And if that doesn't work then contact support (only other users here so we cannot help with keys and links): Battlefront Help desk

    Yeah, it's not in my Spam, (I checked that immediately) - I simply wasn't send a confirmation. The only confirmation I have is from Paypal. 

    Support just completed my order, but I still don't have my confirmation email, which would be nice to have for my records. 

    Edit: The confirmation was sent to my Paypal email address, not my account address. So mystery solved!

    Is there anything that comes close to the CM games?

    I would say from a scale standpoint, the Graviteam games.  They are different approach to the exact same tactical problems.   Steel Beasts come close, especially recently.  The biggest differences is that Garviteam's tactical battle are real-time, as well as Steel Beasts being built as a combined arms simulator and modern time frame only.

    But if you only look at WEGO, there isn't much out there.

    Thank you for the suggestion, I've tried the Gaviteam games, but I really dislike the lack of control I have. It all seems very nebulous. I'll make an order, and sometimes the units will do it, sometimes they won't, but it just doesn't feel good (for me). While it probably is a good "army general" simulator, I'm looking for smaller scale both in engagement size and control (like CM offers).

    I've been on the fence for years (literally) at this point, hoping that something with more modern controls/UI/graphics would come along, but so far nothing has even come close to the tactical control and scale of CM. The new Close Combat looks neat, but just doesn't seem to have the same feel. 

    Is there anything on the horizon for battlefront I should be waiting for? Or should I just shut up and buy?

    Will there ever be a regular RTS control method?

    I've tried to get into the game for years, (via the Normandy demo) but I keep bouncing off of it, mostly because of the abysmal controls. (The graphics are also pretty poor, but I can easily look past that) I've been playing games for 20 years, in every genre there is, but this game's camera and movement feels like an odd mix of control schemes, and none of them feel right.

    Is there any chance this will ever be addressed?

    CM is an addiction. If you are already enjoying the demo enough to buy the game, you will most likely end up buying all of the games anyways.

    Only you know what you are able to afford to buy, but if you can afford both the big bundle and Black Sea, I doubt you will be disappointed. If you can't do both and are looking for the most variety, I would suggest the Market Garden module as it gives a new location in Holland, and adds some British units to the base game. It will however, only encourage you to pick up the Commonwealth module soon afterwards....

    Each title offers its own unique experience. The game I thought I would enjoy the least, CMFI, is actually my favourite one of them all and I am having a really hard time waiting patiently for the Rome to Victory Module to come out. Currently, the CMFI Gustav Line bundle, offers the widest range of nations, unit types, oddball equipment, terrain, weather, and length of of the war covered. If you want variety, CMFI is where it is at.

    Thank you! I'm a bit unclear - Does Black Sea for $60 include v4, or do I need to buy the upgrade with it?

    Thanks John!

    I did have one follow up question - I'm wondering if I should forgo the "big bundle" and just get one of the BN modules, and grab another of maybe the more modern setting? Any suggestions on what to buy to get a good variety? Knowing myself it will take a long, LONG time to get through what is in the big bundle, and I'm thinking I might want to have some diversity when it comes to the setting/time period.

    Can you recommend what I should buy?

    Thanks! can you tell me, does the full game have any kind of encyclopedia, regarding all the different units/weapons, with some historical context? I'm not all that knowledgeable about the guns/vehicles of WW2, and it would be nice if the game gave some indication as to when certain weapons are useful over others, etc. 

    Also, while I'm at it, I've been looking for a graphics mod to help perk it up a bit - is there a one-shot mod you can recommend that will make the game look better in multiple ways (terrain, units, effects, etc)?

    Thanks!
