Doug Beman Posted July 8, 1999 Share Posted July 8, 1999 Picked up the August '99 ComputerGamingWorld mag yesterday. Page 163, add for Chips&Bits, in the :War section, is a listing for "CombatMission" for $45.99. And, according to them, the game was supposed to ship 6/99. Is this a different CM, or is BTS a month late in shipping the game to retailers? Honestly, what's up with that? Do retailers think that indie developers don't check on these things, or don't have loyal, devoted, screen-shot seeking fans checking for them?

Moon Posted July 8, 1999 Share Posted July 8, 1999 I would assume that Chips&Bits know that CM is going to be a HUGE seller and they still kinda hope to get one million preorders and convince Steve and Charles to give them some to sell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRourke Posted July 8, 1999 Share Posted July 8, 1999 Maybe someone from BTS should put in a pre-order. It might be interesting to see how C&B deals with the people who pre-ordered a game they can't deliver. Hopefully they'll do the right thing and direct all those folks to battlefront. The worse option would be some terse "BTS refuses to distribute Combat Mission through us" email. Anyway, it would be interesting to see.

Guest Big Time Software Posted July 8, 1999 Share Posted July 8, 1999 I've spoken with the C&B people twice now, and it is still there?!? ARGH!!! Well, hopefully third time will be a charm... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixman Posted July 13, 1999 Share Posted July 13, 1999 Yeah, I gave Steve a heads up on this over a month ago as well. Talk to them, maybe they'll process orders for you gratis. Worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted July 14, 1999 Share Posted July 14, 1999 I spoke to Chips & Bits and it seems they have removed all mention of Combat Mission being for sale. Doug must have run into something old. Anyhoo, the Chips & Bits folks are good people so all is fine. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
