Watson & Crick Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 If the book ships as fast as CMBO and CMBB, I should have a package waiting for me at home. I'll let you know after 6:00 east coast time.... I'm not really buying the book to improve my tactics, I'm just donating money to a good cause. I want Steve to buy a T34. I then want to see the T34 (Steve) battle the M-29C Weasel (Madmatt) . The image of Madmatt driving like a circus clown to evade a T34 is worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knavery Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I ordered mine on Monday and still haven't recieved it. I got the game 2 days faster than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I ordered monday also, and I expect it to come today. CMBB came in three days, and I'm sure there was more demand for it than the guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrapin Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 This assumes it's the same distributor. They might have a different one for the book, with slower S&H. The delivery time said 3-6 days. So chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sitzkrieg Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 You also need to consider the extra volume of mail and packages put on the USPS due to Christmas. Expect a day or two extra wait I would guess. I also ordered Monday but I'm not expecting it until tomorrow or Saturday at the earliest. Would be nice to have to read over the weekend.

Redwolf Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 The price for the T-72 is totally off, that one should be more like 5-10 times a T-55. But then, "released from the army" can mean something special. Maybe its the one from the Javelin video test... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike13 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 If you are new to this, I never played CMBO, almost every page has provided something new I didn't know. I have only read about 40 pages but it seems well worth the 15 bucks. I'm sorry for the short post but duty calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murpes Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I got mine today - about 5 minutes ago in fact. The reason I got mine today and not next week is because BFC shipped mine via USPS and not stinking crappy horrible worst-company-in-existance UPS, who has a hard time delivering air into their lungs. Big Brown indeed, a big brown turd. I wholeheartedly believe in capitalism but if there is one place it failed it would be UPS because they don't do squat correctly yet somehow they manage to stay in exisitance. Unless their business plan is "Screw everything up and never actually deliver anything without the most annoyance possible to the customer" in which case I guess they would be exceptionally successful. But the book looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson & Crick Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Got mine. After about 20 min of perusing, here are some comments. Well written. Some useful tips. Nice charts. Only one complaint so far, the photographs (black & white) of the screenshots are too tiny, lack sharpness and detail. The important objects (i.e. tanks & infantry) in the photos tend to blend into the terrain and background. Often it is very hard to actually see and even sometimes impossible what the author is trying to show in the example. This is disappointing So far the text is descriptive enough to get the picture.
