Philippe Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Not sure I understand your predicament, but your best bet is to contact Battlefront and explain your situation very clearly and in great detail. Their contact co-ordinates can be found at the top of one of the main pages. Generally they are very good about replacing broken discs as long as you bought them directly from them and not from CDV. You will probably have to supply some proof of the original purchase, or the melted cd and charred manual to give as exchange for a new one. But they are genuinely nice guys and will do anything reasonable to help. Please note, however, that as you certainly know if you were a previous owner, that CMBO is a completely different product from CMBB, which is a different product from CMAK. So I don't think it is realistic to ask them to give away a free copy of CMBO just because you have ordered the games on other subjects. CMBO is a unique product with its own special longevity, and will have value as a collector's item, especially if it is in the form of a CD purchased directly from BTS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPK Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 "CMBO is a unique product with its own special longevity, and will have value as a collector's item..." A friend of mine was just in Bangkok, and he said that already there you can buy bogus Franklin Mint CMBO Memorial Edition CD-ROMS (with the 'old-style' cover showing Michael Wittman dancing with Betty Grable)in any market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Is that the one where the CD is tinted in tricolor camo or the one in ahistorical dunkelgrau? I think Franklin Mint is planning a brass-tinted version with a photograph of Patton's pearl-handled pistol for its US release. But I have always been partial to the Estonian edition myself, probably because I'm a sucker for lurid poster art (Tom Hanks and Maximillian Schell in profile on the CD-cover). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPK Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 My uncle's got the whole CM series, glued to plaques and stacked in cabinets... even the hard-to-get stuff like 'CM: Forgotten Battles IV-Antartica' and 'CM: Wizards & Warwagons' you remember all that weird stuff BFC did towards the end... I'll see your ahistorical dunkelgrau and raise you a beige weltanschauung. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the world-view from the Antipodes is somewhat reversed. Rose-tinted glasses at a minimum to call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPK Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 "Not good enough. I suspect the world-view from the Antipodes is somewhat reversed". Yes, everything down here is the opposite... the bark falls off the trees, not the leaves... the animals all have pouches, and instead of counting sheep to get to sleep, we subtract 'em (the kiwis do yet another thing with sheep to get to sleep, but this is a family forum) "Rose-tinted glasses at a minimum to call." Fold. Optimism was never my strong point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
