Michael And he loves that since it gives him more time to play combat mission without the wife nagging him about it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a magnificent sight that must of been. Can you imagine the feelings of the (your countrymen) Dutch after years of occupation, seeing all those men dropping from the sky?

Aragorn2002 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Ah, yes, you are right. Poor guy...It also strikes me how those soldiers march on at 6.57, with that burning Dakota in the background. We would be standing still and watch the drama unfold, but they were already used to that sort of thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn2002 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Indeed, never fails to make me sad. All those brave and brilliant young men, wasted in a war that left Europe utterly ruined. We all know why it had to be, but by God, what a tragedy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn2002 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The music of your formative years never leaves you. When I was a kid, I listened to the new releases from the Beatles and the Stones on the radio. The 70's also brought along a lot of incredible music. (Yes, I liked Abba too!) ABC is from the 80's and I was already beginning to think that 'they don't write proper pop music anymore' way back then. As it happened, my mom brought me up to appreciate Bach and Mozart as well and they've never left me. I've never forgotten the impact the first movement of Mozart's 40th Symphony had on me when I first heard it as a child. It's nice now, as an adult, to be able to play some of my favourite Bach pieces on the piano now as well. (The preludes rather than the fugues, of course, but also the main theme of the Goldberg variations. That one was particularly satisfying to learn to play and sometimes I still can't believe that it's me playing it. Must be a great feeling. And you have a lot to be grateful for with such a mother. For me the first experience with classical music that really moved me was a documentary on medieval castles, shown with the music of Ravel's Bolero. I will never forget it, I was so impressed and I still think of castles when I hear it. Must be at least 40 years ago. After that I began to discover Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner and so on. Wonderful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball_E8 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I love classical music, but I don't own a single piece of classical music. I just really enjoy it when it happens to pop up in life. Luckily, it pops up often enough to satisfy me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 ...After that I began to discover Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner and so on. Go easy on the Wagner, Aragorn. Next thing you know, you'll be goose-stepping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Dear Mr Battlefront, will we be able to create a campaing about John Frost epic defense at the bridge?...i.e. without the magical "damaged buildings" reconstruction and "destroyed vehicles" removal...I'm almost certain that you know what i mean. is this feature expected to arrive to the CM engine? (..lucky me didn't write "return"...)...I can't imagine an Arhem bridge or LZ defensive campaing or even bulge's Bastogne ones. Thank you in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Go easy on the Wagner, Aragorn. Next thing you know, you'll be goose-stepping. Very original, BLSTK, but fortunately it doesn't work that way. Life is somewhat more complicated than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Orff's O Fortuna and Siegfried's Funeral March and the the Ride of the Valkries by Wagner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Orff's O Fortuna and Siegfried's Funeral March and the the Ride of the Valkries by Wagner. Ahhh, yes, all of it wonderful music. There is SO much splendid music around. From opera to ethnic music and from pop to Gregorian. For instance Jerusalem and Land of Hope and Glory, during the Proms. Goosebumbs guaranteed, year in, year out. Music from movies, like Gladiator, Alexander, King Arthur etc. etc. Well, music is important. ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratdeath Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Is there a timeframe when this will be released? A Battlefront release is never late, nor is it ever early. It's released precisely when Battlefront means it to. (wise logic I live by to not be dissapointed when it comes to release dates... hehe) From the announcement: "Combat Mission Battle for Normandy: "Market Garden" will be available for Download, Mail Delivery or both Download & Mail later this summer, exclusively from Battlefront.com!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togi Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I think that anouncement for release date and preorder will be end of this week. The product will be available for delivery and download latest end of third week of September This is my guess Regards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 1. BFC mentions a date that they honestly hope they will be able to release a title. 2. Some people take that date as carved in stone. 3. Problems crop up that must be ironed out before a reasonably bug-free product can be released. As a consequence, production schedule is extended. 4. Much weeping and gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes among the set mentioned in Phase 2, accompanied by bitter accusations of betrayal on the part of BFC. And so it goes...
