Guest Big Time Software Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 Hello all, Well, sometimes things go better than expected In this case our shipping folks managed to twist some arms and use up a few favors to get things going again about 4 or 5 days sooner than we expected. That and the fact that we opted for Overnight Delivery for the CDs (don't even ask how much that was ). So as of today the backorders since this weekend have started shipping again. Some might have even gone out yesterday because once we knew the new stuff was on hand (but not assembled until today) we authorized our few dozen remaining "safety copies" to be sent out. One lesson in warehouse management is NEVER ship out every single last unit you have right away to allow some flexibility for things like lost orders for folks who have already had their credit card charged. Once again, thanks for making the Great Sellout of June 2000 happen! These kinds of "problems" will ensure that we will be around for a long time to come Steve and Charles BTW if you guys burn through this next batch in a week we are really going to be happy since we produced a boatload!!

MacAuliff Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 If I understand this well....I should actually order now, so I will get my copy faster then the pre-ordered one, which is probably somewhere floating on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcents Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 Thank you gentlemen...this should prove to everyone that this is a class act. How many other companies would rush an shipment, heck, even have it overnighted? You guys deserve at least a Presidential Unit Citation! ------------------ The only thing worse than fighting with allies is fighting without them. - Churchill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Oberst Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 Shoot, I'm debating a second order to legally play duels with friends on my home lan w/out the hot seat. Made a small scenario with a zug of tigers out hunting a US armored recon force. Got all oohs and aahs from the assembled viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Michael emrys Posted June 30, 2000 Share Posted June 30, 2000 Virtual Announcement: The U.S. Postal Service announced today that it is presenting Big Time Software (a previously obscure company producing computer games for mass-violence geeks) with a Certificate of Appreciation. BTS has sent out so many postal items over the last three weeks that it has single-handedly guaranteed that the USPS' operating budget will be met.

Lee Posted June 30, 2000 Share Posted June 30, 2000 That means we need either the 1.02 or 1.03 patch available for DL ASAP so that everyone can stay compatible with each other. If the 1.02 disks starting shipping today (or even yesterday), then players will start getting their packages tomorrow (those that live close to the warehouse). So we need the new patch tonight so that we can PBEM tomorrow without any problems. Steve, let us know the second that patch is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steiner43 Posted June 30, 2000 Share Posted June 30, 2000 Steve: Thanks for the INFO and the Herculean job your company has done so far. I am asking Steve: If you could please check to see if my preorder went out in the last batch or if it is still on backorder... I ordered the game in Oct 99 via money order. You sent a conformation Email to me in Nov 99 that you had the order. My email address is rrrrr18@home.com. Previously it was rbpowell@net-link.net. I can still receive email at this address. Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. RJ Powell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PawBroon Posted June 30, 2000 Share Posted June 30, 2000 Now that's just perfect! Just had a phone call from home and CM has arrived. Just when I was considering ritualistic disembowlement...

Hope all of you guys could enjoy the same week end as me. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 30, 2000 Share Posted June 30, 2000 Arggh, no new patch up yet. This means those of us with 1.01 will not be able to PBEM other players with the new 1.02 disks. Oh, the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
