Patrocles Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 From the Wargamer site In Stores : November Release for Afrika Korps Likely Posted by Chris 'Pie4Foo' Abele @ 17:27 Indirect comments from both CDV and Battlefront indicate a November release is likely for both US and European customers. Gaming news site Blue's News highlighted a posting from a CDV representative revealing the German publisher's plans to release Combat Mission: Afrika Korps (after action review) to Europe in late November. CDV owns the rights to publish Battlefront.com's titles in the European market, including the Combat Mission series of 3D, turn-based World War II wargames. In addition to this revelation, Battlefront seems to be hinting at its plans to release Afrika Korps in North America on or around November 15th. As part of their announcement of a new Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord and Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin combo pack earlier this week, Battlefront revealed a new combo pack would become available on November 15th containing both Barborossa to Berlin and Afrika Korps. To date, Afrika Korps has not yet gone on sale but will likely only be available to North American customers via web orders through Battlefront.com. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingknives Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 The way I saw it, BFC said that the CMBO/CMBB bundle was to go off sale by Nov. 15th and would be replaced by the CMBB/CMAK bundle but they didn't specify how soon that would be after. If you nongs read the home page every so often, you'd have picked that up for yourself. Pah. News. I've known about this for a week (and feeling damn smug about it) :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Originally posted by Patrocles: will likely only be available to North American customers via web orders through Battlefront.com.Does this mean another mail relay from the US or Canada to Europe, or will the BFC and CDV versions - game and packaging - be identical this time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmatt Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 That article makes an incorrect assumption, let me clarify. On November 15th the CURRENT CMBO-CMBB bundle pack will be discontinued in anticipation of a new bundle with CMAK and CMBB taking it's place later this year. That does NOT mean that on November 15th CMAK will be ready and shipping. It may or it may not, we do not know yet, but thats the day we picked to stop selling the current bundle, regardless of when CMAK ships. Yes, no matter where you live, you will be order CMAK directly from Battlefront.com this time, even in Europe. As soon as we have a confirmed CMAK ship date we will be announcing it as loud as we can, you can be sure of that.

Siege Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 a new bundle with CMAK and CMBB taking it's place later this year That does NOT mean that on November 15th CMAK will be ready and shipping. It may or it may not, Straight from the MadMatt's mouth. We are getting close folks, it MIGHT be ready by Nov 15th! Of course, I could be just translating this totally wrong and be giving bad info on skewed assumptions of a misread post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 If it is November 15, BFC is getting awfully close to the release date without manking an announcement. Maybe they will ship CMAK to all CMBO/CMBB customers, and then announce the release date at the same time the game reaches our mailboxes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really likely, but then, neither is the date you quote. I wouldn't mind at all if you turn out to be right, but believe me, I won't be throwing myself out any windows if you aren't.

Lawngnome Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I'm going to throw myself out of a window if I don't get a demo within the next... week. Well, that is if I can manage to dislodge those pesky safety screens from my window. You know, those stupid things that keep children from falling out on "accident". Well, maybe I will fall out the first story window. Anyway... I think CMAK should be shipped to all North Americans first, then the Europeans can have a go at it... not trying to be partial or anything... but I think my countrymen and the poor socialists up north need a little "pick-me-up" or we might start throwing ourselves out windows. You don't want to lose hundreds of customers, right? Just remember the CMAK checklist. -demo within the week -ship first to N.A. -laugh at the Europeans It will all be okay after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawngnome Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Ahhh.... but tulips are incapable of surviving the arctic tundra of the midwestern U.S.A.; we have wildflowers in our flower beds. Well, maybe that's because we are poor. Nevertheless, I will miss the flower bed and end my 2 foot fall on cold concrete. Well, it will be cold concrete before the sun rises. But, if I choose to fall AFTER the sun rises then it will be baking hot concrete. Choices, choices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
