offtaskagain Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Welcome to the best days of your life. My copy took only a few days to get to Minnesota, but it probably varies wildly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Expect it by dawn! Just kidding, I think its averaging 4-7 days. Long wait, so go play Valley of Trouble a few more times. Download some mods, you'll want them right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stixx Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Well I'm in Australia and it got here i under a week!!!. As mentioned go and download some mods and read up on tactics. For when the CD arrives you won't have much time for stuff like that These are goos starts Combat Mission HQ This site is run by one of the game's designers Madmatt. It has just about everything you could possibly want to know about CM. Combat Missions This is an excellent site that is very well laid out. Also hosts a huge variety of scenarios and operations These are good starts while you wait for the game.

MikeyD Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 It took my copy 2 weeks... but that was a more than year ago just as the first batch ran out and they had to print more manuals. A problem that I suspect you will not run into. Are you mac or PC? You'll want to start contemplating artwork mods (grass, snow, trees, houses, bridges,uniforms, vehicles, etc.) Forst stop, CMHQ.

reichpapers Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Don't worry about the silly 1.12 patch, your new game will arrive as version 1.12. Mine did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhammer Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Side Effects of CM usage: We all have heard the tales of the upset Wife/Girlfriend (stock reply if this happens to you, is: Their are worse things I could be doing now, like chasing women or drinking with the boys). I have noticed another happy side effect, I spend less money! Before CM, buy games hoping to find "The Game". After CM, ...well, I found "The Game". Seriously, ever since buying CM when it forst came out, I have purchased 3 other games, PZC'41:Tobruk being the most recent. My spent money has also gone down as I go out less. Sure, I spend time with the family, but I don't have to entertain myself near as much, and my son and I are converging on interests. Though he has played CM, he prefers the Army Men games and his occasional PS game (as non-thinking as they are, though I enjoy another non-thinking game once in awhile, Half Life). Great, game, great fun, and unlike other products that offer to save you money, this one truly saves you money. All I want for Christmas is my CM2.

Nutball Posted July 11, 2001 Author Share Posted July 11, 2001 Here's how I got into CM... Last Summer ,1 year ago, I was in Jordan visiting some of my relatives (grandma, aunts adn uncles galore), and my dad stayed behind cuz his work wouldn't give him a break. when the PC gamer's would come he would send to my grandma's house in Jordan, and I could read them whilest in Jordan! Unfortunately, two of the issues arrived at about the same time (close to the time I was leaving back for TN). When I got home, I took a big ole ****. Then I took a shower, and ate. Then I sat down and started reading my PC Gamer's. When I read the word's "3D World War 2 Startegy", I quickly flipped to that review read it, adn was convinced so I downloaded the demo. I thought it was OK, mostly cuz I was alittle dumber back then adn wasn't as patient as I am now. I thought about getting it, but decided not too, cuz I was too engrossed in Diablo 2. So after I got my new PC on the Monday before Spring Break, I remembered it for some reason. A few weeks later, I re-downloaded the demo, but still wasn't too excited to play it, cuz I sitll sucked at it adn couldn't get a hold of the gameplay. I was reading a preview a few days ago about Combat Mission 2, and I thought it looked cool. I debated for a moment whether I should go and re-download the demo... I finally decided to, since now we have cable internet and it took about 1 minute. THANK GOD I DID!!!!! This time I waited a little more, and issued orders that would last a few turns to complete. Before I beat "Valey of Trouble" on my 6th try, with a slight victory. This time I beat it on my 14th turn, with a decisive victory! I thought it was pure luck, and quit so I could go eat. I came back the next day and tried the other level "Chance Encounter". ON my first try I beat it on 13th turn, with a ddecisive victory! Thats about the time I wanted more, and ever since my hunger for this game has grown...MASSIVELY. I conjured up the guts to ask my dad for his credit card, then I remembered... I have a job now! I can pay my dad for it, and just use his credit card. That day I helped my dad cut the grass, weedeat, etc. I was eating a watermelon when all of a sudden he smiled and said "I guess I have no choice but to give you my credit card." And thats my story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Hey Nutball, I ordered my copy yesterday 6.00pm GMT. A guy I work with ordered his a few months ago and he seems to remember that it took around 7 days. In the meantime I have downloaded over 60meg of mods from the combatmission.com site. I followed MadMatts suggestions as to what mods to begin with. You can find this in the "3rd Party Mods" section. Good luck with your copy.
