Gary T Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 ...at some point next week, hopefully. Unless of course Customs decide to inspect it which case you can add another two weeks on. Believe me I know from experience. Anyhow, seeing as all (sorry, most) of the US lot will have been playing for over week or more I was wondering if any of my European comrades would be interested in organising any double-blind ganes in advance. I've listed all the scenarios below. Obviously some are out (Riesberg, CE etc) but if anyone would like to pick one to play against me then I'll make sure I don't play it the minute CM drops on the mat. I'll play any side. If your interested e-mail me or better still post it on here.

majic Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 Hi, I'll take up the challenge as soon as my copy arrives here in the Black Country. Don't know anything about any of the scenarios so I'll pick 'Sherbrooke Fusiliers', you can pick sides you can email me if this is OK. Here's looking forward to the arrival of ParcelFarce tomorrow...

sniperscope Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 This is what I love the most about the web. I am reading about people from across the pond who love the same game as I. Small world. Perhaps we can get some type of game going. My German forces against the Brits? Please let me know. sniperscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 G'day Gary, I wouldn't mind giving you a game of Red Devils, myself as allies. Ofcourse you will have to wait for the game to reach Australia. ------------------ IN VINO VERITAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I live in the UK and have friends in Canada, so maybe that helps. You get a reply as soon as the game reaches me, but not before next Saturday. ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 Gary I'll take you in "Fear in the Fog" and I would like to be German. You can send me your setup as I should receive my game this week. Here's my address : jeff@worldcom.ch Already waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardb Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 I'm getting sick of reading about all the people that has gotten their copy. What annoys me the most is all the newly arrived people, they've already gotten it while I'm still waiting. Let's hope it's in the mail when I get home today.

Gary T Posted June 26, 2000 Author Share Posted June 26, 2000 howardb - I haven't got my copy yet. I doubt anyone outside the States has. Do you fancy a double blind game? How about Elsdorf, you can chose the side. E-mail me if you're interested. ------------------ *I laugh in the face of Fear and tweak the nose of Terror* (Edmund Blackadder circa 1570).

To all my fellow Europeans in general and fellow Kaaskoppen in particular: the waiting is over, rejoice! Now, this puts me in a difficult position: I work from home, and I really should put off playing CM until this evening. On the other hand, not playing would be a slap in the face to all who haven't got The Game yet, and I wouldn't want to do that, so maybe just a quick peak... See you later!

pcelt Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Marnix It might be informative and helpful to the rest of us European nervous wrecks trying to work out how long our purgatory is likely to last, to know when you ordered and when your card was charged . Meantime enjoy......sob sob sob sob. Pcelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasel[FT] Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Everyone in Europe that wants to play double-blind games please email the scenario name to me. gudnihe@hi.is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marnix Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 s bakker: Yes, it does fit in the brievenbus, it's just a padded envelope (what am I saying, "just" an envelope!) the size of a small magazine. pcelt: I ordered on May 12th, the shipping date (marked on the label) was June 21st. Six days from the US to here is about as fast as it gets. I haven't got my credit-card receipt yet so I don't know when it was charged. I hope you guys get yours soon, too! This game is awesome...
