Cpt B M Deleted Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 Hey fellas, Some of you have been waiting more than a YEAR and I myself have been waiting since November '99. I just want to know how long has it been since you've made the decision to pre-order this game? How long has the wait been for you? Since When?

Jarmo Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 Early january, I think. Everything before last week is garbled up in my brain. Anyway, I was delayed as I had to get a Visa just to get this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffRaider Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 The day the beta demo was released, I think. . . Not positive, though. It might have been just prior to or just after. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screaming Demon Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 Heres a tip for those who stil have original nicknames, if you ordered around the time you joined this forum, you can roughly work out the time you ordered by clicking on the profile, it wil show you the date you nick was created, if you dont hae your original name, then check the search feature, use the search nickname option, and then repeat step one. I ordred 01-26-2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krm Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 July, 1999. Mine had better be in that damn 20% because having to wait ten days to get it means I need every advance possible ------------------ I'm always in the ****, it's only the depth that varies.

Mikester Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 I was one of those nuts that pre-ordered on the very first day that you could: May 7, 1999 (according to email BTS recently sent me when I updated my Credit Card info). Phone call to CC agency confirms authorization for $53 charge was made yesterday on my account. Must have happened late last night since when I checked earlier in the evening there was no new info on my credit card purchases. One of the lucky batards that lives here in the USA as well. Am expecting to get game by Friday (Sat. at the latest) assuming it ships out today and USPS doesn't lose it somewhere. Have been waiting for the game literally since "day one". Started reading about it back when it was still Avalon Hill's project and it was still being referred to as Computer Squad Leader or something like that. They had a blurb on it on their website and a link as I recall to Big Time Software's web page. When you went to BTS's webpage there was some more info there on the main page. Couple paragraphs about the game and a picture of the front box cover artwork from the orginal Squad Leader boardgame. There was no Battlefront.com, this forum didn't exist, and I'm not sure Steve was even working on the project at the time. My how things have changed since then. Best part is all of us are going to "soon" be enjoying one of the best wargames ever produced. My hat is off and congratulations to Charles, Steve, and the entire CM team on a superb achievement in the history of computer wargaming development. Mikester out.

Doug Beman Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 Sometime around Sept or Oct last year. My system died since then, so I lost the confirmation email. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFCElvis Posted June 14, 2000 Share Posted June 14, 2000 I believe it was October 1999. Hope that puts me in the top 20% or some of you 10 day delivery guys will have it in your hands before me because I go on vacation 6/18 for 10 days. I also found it through Avalon Hill site and been following it ever since. The funniest thing about back then was it sent you to BTS' site where the descibed what they were doing and at the end it said "It will be done when it is done" ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
