Hellzapoppin Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 ordered my copy of CM last Tuesday......was wondering how long I should wait to expect it at my door. . . I live in PA if anyone could give me a guestimate. Also, how does the multiplayer work? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzapoppin Posted June 24, 2001 Author Share Posted June 24, 2001 Thanks guys for the welcome,,,,and unfortunately, I guess it will be a very long week (not he longest of my life though I doubt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Welcome and yes it will be a long 2 weeks. I'm guessing two weeks. I actually got mine in about 3 days but I live in Texas and they just treat us better. Anyway, you are in for a treat when it comes. Oh by the way, when you do get it in and you don't see the disk and you are about to cry or hit something - do look in the manual before upsetting the rest of the family like I did. That's where it'll be. They do that just to scare the hell out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During tcp both players enter orders at the same time. When you have both hit 'Go' the system generates the 'movie' and then you both can watch it. Repeat till one side waves the white flag. Via email takes longer. You plot your orders and sent the file to your opponent. That person plots his orders and then his system makes the movie but he can not watch it... all he can do is send it on to you. You watch the movie and send it back. He watched it and then plots his orders. Sends file to you and you plot. You make movie and send it. He watches and sends it back. You watch and plot. Repeat. rv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Sniper Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Wlecome Hellzapoppin,I got it in 1 week and I live in NY. Great game I got it the 1st week it was out and its still on the PC (after a year). Great bunch of guys here on the forum, If I was in your shoes I'd start getting all the mods now so you have them when the game gets there.

Four Stringer Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 I live in AZ. Ordered mine on a Saturday (d'oh), Monday was a holiday, it arrived that Friday (this was back in Sept). Life is good. Mods are a way of life. Read this very helpful FAQ thread . . . all questions answered here: FAQ Thread Oh, welcome to the wonderful world of CM!

If you don't know what skins are, then just read the FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzapoppin Posted June 28, 2001 Author Share Posted June 28, 2001 It's here! OH my goodness am I satisfied, just finished the first operation (Allied Minor victory).
