Snarker Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 No. I'm downloading. No processor ticks for playing or bandwidth for uploading. I'll not be waiting for the demo until I have the game! Turn tomorrow, as the d/l is scheduled to finish at 1:00. :mad: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Boggs Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Good Evening Gentlemen. I have now spent 5 hours in a bid to download the CMAK Demo. FIVE HOURS!!! :mad: "But surely, Jim, you have the demo on your hard drive by now, or are at least close to having it aren't you?" :confused: I am back to square feckin zero!!! :mad: :mad: The biatche died at 58%. File Corrupt, please try again. That's all for tonite folks!!! Have a pleasant one. Dave H, I may be joining you in awaiting the CD. :mad: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86smopuim Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 You may have better luck on gamers hell than the other down load servers. 15 minutes for me. I only tell you this becuase I hate you and want to kick your ass sooner. obligatory :mad: :mad: :mad: [ November 20, 2003, 01:46 AM: Message edited by: 86smopuim ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_the_wino Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Dave you skirt-wearing nong, IF you choose to forego the demo, such is your choice. Keep in mind all the kewl ****e that you WON'T see...i.e. the G3 Howitzer HT. Quite the lethal bit of tin. And can you really wait to see how the 2-turret tanks have been modelled? I think not. You will fold like Superman on laundry day and spend all weekend with yer weak-ass connection to enjoy the beauty that is CMAK. I hope you fail so that our first encounter will bode pain for you, much pain, maggot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a play with that while I was waiting for turns (which never arrived ... bloody time zones :mad: :mad: :mad: ). I'm guessing you just copy over the missing settings from CMBB? Quizzical Teddy PS. Go on Dave ... you know you want to. Download the demo. (Edited to add: I think the demo scenarios look to be in a whole different league to those that appeared with CMBB, so if that's a major reason for not getting it, maybe you should reconsider? All the best) [ November 20, 2003, 06:52 AM: Message edited by: Edward Windsor ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86smopuim Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Originally posted by Dave H: Thank you, Axe, for that fine introduction. No, I'd rather wait until I can get the entire game and spend hours checking every scenario with my dictionary in hand, looking for the misspelling that I can announce to the world. I'll make sure you get the full credit for every single error. I never did download the CMBB demo, either. I remember how many people were really angry because the two demo scenarios were so unbalanced. BFC (or was it still BTS?) said the demos were designed to show off the changes from CMBO to CMBB, but they still spoiled CMBB for some people. So "anarchist" - no. "Following a different drummer" - yes! Sue me. Did any of you happen to notice the order number when you sent in your pre-order? Mine was number one hundred thousand something. If BFC has sold over 100,000 units, no wonder they can lower the price on CMBB, and also sell CMAK for $35. These guys could be doing very well for themselves. I for one sure hope so, because I've gotten a lot more out of playing Combat Mission than just the fun of the game. First of all, I've learned A LOT, especially about the Eastern Front. Even more important, I've made a bunch of new friends. I guess the only real down side to my entire Combat Mission experience has been discovering the Peng thread. P.S. Do any of you seriously believe Soddball needs six copies of CMAK? Two for himself I can handle, but where would he find four friends? All this blathering and not a single :mad: For shame dave, for shame! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Boggs Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Axe I was unable to send turns last night as my computer was preoccupied with an exercise in time wasting. If the lack of turns in our game has in any way caused you undue hardship or pain then I would offer my humblest: Big Freakin Whoop!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: Thank you for sharing in my tribulations!
