That horrendous post of you Cannucks wailing like Banshees was trully nerve racking. Long delivery and no Staghound make for some serious beer drinking indeed. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big Time Software Posted September 5, 2000 Share Posted September 5, 2000 We found standard Airmail to Hong Kong to be horrible. Griffin can tell you about that The odd thing is that the better service we now use for Hong Kong costs about 20 cents more than the old way for a copy of Combat Mission to get there. Go figure!

Viceroy Posted September 5, 2000 Share Posted September 5, 2000 I'm in Taiwan and ordered mine on Aug 26th ..... I hope it gets here soon Strange how mail from UK to Taiwan is 4/5 days and US to Taiwan is 10 days? The UK shipping rates are cheaper too. So, BTS send games to the Far East the long way VIA the UK and it'll be much quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pillar Posted September 6, 2000 Share Posted September 6, 2000 Speaking of "Waiting...Waiting...Waiting", you guys are lucky you weren't one of the ones who was waiting for this game since it was in Beta form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucero1148 Posted September 6, 2000 Share Posted September 6, 2000 It took about 3 weeks for my copy to reach Manila. Glad to see there are more players in Asia. Anyone up for a PBEM game? Send me your setup to: lucero1148@pacific.net.ph I'm using V1.05 and have some of the player scenarios. all best Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted September 6, 2000 Share Posted September 6, 2000 My story is: the 1st pre-order was scrapped for my plastic expires in May (damn I miss those posters!). My re-order was shipped and my account was charged on June 16. Guess what? It is not there till mid-August and it comes together with the replacement order!!! For Eric, when you asked about the shipping time, I just shipped back one of the orders back to BTS. Fortunately, I have made another order in late June and requested "express delivery". It is good to have it earlier.... Griffin @ work place P.S. Dear CM Borg, I am amazed by the power to assimilate people thru cyberspace. I am wonder if you can assimilate opfor troops thru PBEMing. I still feel the pressure of my stupid work and I wonder if your magic power can do anything about it. Good luck, don't run into hamsters. ------------------ "+" is just the beginning.

Guest Big Time Software Posted September 6, 2000 Share Posted September 6, 2000 Hey Griffin, If I didn't say "thanks for sending 'em back" I am doing that right now I had my wife's family here this weekend and they loved the stamps on the envelope!

GriffinCheng+ Posted September 6, 2000 Share Posted September 6, 2000 With honor and pleasure, Steve. Ya know, normal citizens here in Hong Kong have no access to mail chops and stamp values here are normally small (hint!), I have to fill the entire upper right corner with stamps. OT. I am no stamp collectors. If your family like stamp collections, I think Brazil uses stamps made of plastic sticks other than paper in many other parts of the world. Griffin @ work place. P.S. Where is CM Borg when you need him? ------------------ "+" is just the beginning.
