Guest Big Time Software Posted June 13, 2000 Share Posted June 13, 2000 OK, good news is... THE MANUALS ARE IN! Our folks will start building the units (i.e. bundling the manuals and CDs) tomorrow. Depending on how that goes, shippments *should* start going out on Wednesday. We are not anticipating a full day of shipping, if at all, so we guess that it might take until Friday or Monday to get all preorders out the door. Rough shipping times... US -> 2-3 days Canada -> 4-6 days Western Europe -> 8-10 days All Oother places -> 10 days Please do not email me asking about when your individual order might ship (I have NO idea) or requesting some sort of expidited service (I have to get quotes for each, which I do not have time for). That's all for now! I'll post another update when there is something usefull to say. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikester Posted June 13, 2000 Share Posted June 13, 2000 It has begun. The troops are being loaded into the transports. In a matter of a scant couple of days they will ship out. A few days after that, the first shiny bright faced copies of CM will land on the beaches. CM will finally be in my grimy little paws. Hoooraayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe the hour is finally upon us. Mikester out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFCElvis Posted June 13, 2000 Share Posted June 13, 2000 Nearly 2 years of waiting and unless I get lucky enough to be in the 1st batch I will be away on vacation when the game arrives....However, if I am fortunate enough to be in that 1st batch I may have it by Friday and be able to give my,what I assume will be, bleeding fingers a rest when I depart on Sunday.....Someone keep thier fingers crossed for me. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holman Posted June 13, 2000 Share Posted June 13, 2000 I want to send a big thanks to Charles and Steve for making this game happen. I can hardly believe it! Where were you when you first heard of CM? I think I saw a note on a newsgroup, back in the summer of '98, that there was a "computer conversion of ASL in the works" from a group affiliated with Avalon Hill. So much has changed since then, and all of it for the better. I remember the controversy about the first screen shots--obviously, BTS has the last laugh against the doubters! Again, thanks, guys. I can't wait to see the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jenkins Posted June 13, 2000 Share Posted June 13, 2000 About two years ago I was surfing the net for Advanced Squad Leader info. I came upon the news that a computer version was in the works. As things progressed, that deal fell through and another one emerged. The game began to evolve, and we all begged for the first screenshots. More changes took place, the heads began to turn, the armor penetration models came together, the Poles joined the fight, even rifle grenades came about. Now the pattern of quantity over quality has been busted for good. Chalk one up for innovation and small business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to thier web site and now it is BTS who is going to publish it. I hope Combat Mission is as succsefull for BTS as Panzer Blitz was for AH.
