GhostOne Posted June 17, 2000 Share Posted June 17, 2000 Just received CM from USPS this afternoon and thought I would post. Didn't recieve the poster however so am wondering if it will be under separate cover. When you recieve USPS mail that has: Distribution Center Williston, Vt. on the return address, you'll know it's Xmas in June. Thanks BTS..... Off to play.

GhostOne Posted June 17, 2000 Author Share Posted June 17, 2000 Thanks for the congrats and I hope all of you receive your copy soon. BTW it comes with a very well done 171 page manual (unlike many other games out there) and there are actually more features to the sim than I was aware of. Kudos as well to the parties involved in writing the manual as they did a great job. Will post more info later with "Spoiler" preface if indicated.

GhostOne Posted June 17, 2000 Author Share Posted June 17, 2000 aka_tom_w the manual has the image of US troops and tanks moving up that is the opening image on the Gold demo except is't in black and white. Upon a cursory review of the manual, it appears to cover everything in detail and is very informative. More later when I've actually had time to read it. One thing I noticed which was contrary to someone's post is that the manual states that another squad member may pick up and use squad and AT weapons (Bar, Mg's) if the gunner gets hit. I didn't think this feature was in there so am glad to see it. Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratch Posted June 17, 2000 Share Posted June 17, 2000 Clearly GhostOne is nothing more than a sadist. He posted that bit of news knowing full well the rest of us are sitting in lawn chairs on the front porch, swetting profusely and biting our nails while he sits in comfort enjoying his copy of CM. Shame on you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argie Posted June 17, 2000 Share Posted June 17, 2000 GhostOne, that feature means that the SQUAD MG or AT weapon could be remanned, that is BAR, LMGs or Panzerfaust in the Squad. That is represented as a probability to maintain the weapon in the squad if the gunner is killed. Nothing in common with the asked feature of remanning CREWED Weapons, as Mortars, Guns and the like. Congratulations. Ariel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckinDixie Posted June 17, 2000 Share Posted June 17, 2000 I'm sure your message lifted the hearts of tose who are still waiting. They now know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and CM is actually on its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Monday for me and Tuesday for the West coast? It is a perfect day for CM too....raining so I can't do my usual outside stuff like mowing the lawn. Today is my 13th wedding anniversary and my wife is expecting a night on the town. If CM would have arrived today she might have gotten pizza and a rental movie while I played CM. Of course if this occured, this might have been my last anniversary. Allan [This message has been edited by Allan (edited 06-17-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heinz 25th PzReg Posted June 17, 2000 Share Posted June 17, 2000 Hi everyone To GhostOne: Please tell us about the different operations in the game. How many operations are there? You are a lucky guy GhostOne. Please just give me my little "fix" for today! Regards, Heinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeydz Posted June 18, 2000 Share Posted June 18, 2000 When did you preorder Ghost? If you pre-ordered before the beta-demo was released back on Oct 28th or 29th, IIRC, then you get the poster. So if ya ordered before then, then mail BTS for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt B M Deleted Posted June 18, 2000 Share Posted June 18, 2000 Williston Vermont!! I looked at a map and I just found out I'm 155 miles away from it! Not that much shipping time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOne Posted June 18, 2000 Author Share Posted June 18, 2000 Heinz 25th PzReg: There are seven Operations included: 3 medium 3 large and 1 huge and they look real interesting. Just finished a hellaciuos tank battle from one of the battle scenarios. Wouldn't be fair of me to provide any detail on the battles or Ops as you'll have more fun when you see what they're about and it's a surprise.

Doug Beman Posted June 18, 2000 Share Posted June 18, 2000 Yeah, I'm in central NJ. I bet the game arrived at the distribution point for my town (that point would probably be Ridgefield Park, NJ) right about now, and it's just going to SIT, SIT SIT SIT SIT in the USPS depot for almost 48 HOURS. I think the USPS should have depots open on Sunday (not deliver, or even transport) for people who KNOW their packages are in that building. I could just DRIVE out there tomorrow at 8 a.m. and play CM ALL FRIGGIN DAY. But NO. I'm going to have to stumble through yet ANOTHER day at the office w/o this game. Plus which I work until 6:30, which means I have that much less time after work before I'm so totally exhausted that I can't help but fall asleep. The only good news is that I've already notified people that I'm going to be late to work Monday because I have to go to the DMV (true) so I'll just swing by the house when I'm done. If it's here, then "I was at the triple-damn DMV until noon, so then I figured I'd just eat lunch at home and come to work at 1." DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krm Posted June 18, 2000 Share Posted June 18, 2000 You guys should all think yourself lucky (Americans that is) At least the game is in sight for you, people like me, in Australia, and Europeans have very little idea as to when our game will show up, if ever Touch wood! I know we'll probably be waiting until at least June 26th, and I ordered in July last year. Congrats Ghost One, you lucky bastard!

Doug Beman Posted June 18, 2000 Share Posted June 18, 2000 Er, I'm in Jersey, not from Jersey. I was born in central PA, but there isn't a whole lot there for a bright college grad, so I came out here to get a job and so I wouldn't spend my whole life in the same place.
