Gryphon Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Guilty on all accounts. Hey i always wanted to say that But seriously, i don't like (to put it in a nice way) CDV, so either this or not playing the game at all, but since that is heresy... ordering from the US is the only option Regards, Gryphon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 6) Other - Got a Mac so like CMBO had to order from US. *Looks nervously overshoulder and draws curtains* If I had a PC I would have beaten the sanctions and arranged to have it shipped to UK by a friendly ' virtual arms dealer' middle man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agua Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 A quick note for any Europeans who may have ordererd through me and are perusing this thread. I recieved a partial shipment of my personal order placed approximately 35 minutes after the pre-order announcment at around 2 a.m., Sept. 7. I've received none of the European orders yet.

skuby Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Originally posted by redwolf: Key guys, if you post here that you ordered from the US via friend, I would be interested to hear why exactly (check one): 1) censoring 2) copy protection (no backup, maybe incompatiblity) 3) full manual 4) delay in delivery (England) 5) fear of bad translation 6) other (like throw more money directly at BTS) And don't start a flamewar, we all judged each of these points to death.The reason for me are 1 & 3, but can anyone on this forum help me to have US version please...I'm from Italy and I have no idea on when in my country CMBB will be released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetchez la Vache Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 1 and 3 with a dollop of 6 (get direct from the guys who wrote it). I had a friend in the US lined up to pre-order but unfortunately it fell through. So I'm forced now to wait for CDV. Real shame. BTW I've asked around my home in Den Haag, Netherlands and have found no retailer who even has CMBB on their list of upcoming titles! Only one even had CMBO stocked... I also hope CDV make sure the European pc magazines have got a copy for review by now, because I haven't seen anything mentioned in the magazines (except for 1 ad). CMBB doesn't even register in the lastest copy of PCGamer on the list of upcoming games to be released. TBH I'm not very impressed by the lack of 'air time' CMBB is getting over here so far.

Thomm Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 My entire wargaming vocabulary is in English and I am getting nervous when I suddenly read words like "Durchschlag" where I saw "penetration" for YEARS! It is like the localized versions of Windows! Instead of terms you were familiar with for years you are suddenly confronted with new terms (albeit in your mother tongue) that sound strange and unfamiliar (Visual Basic in German!! That really was too much!!) This may not hold true for Grogs, but I am none. Add in the manual and the US soldier on the CDV cover (which is not even aesthetically pleasing) and my decision to wait for my software store to import the US original becomes justified!!

Hawk Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I might very well have to! You can't order CM:BB on CDV's homepage (except for the German version), and there hasn't been any word about when it will be awailable here in Norway. I spoke to my local retailer again yesterday, and all he had heard (from his importer/distributor) was "perhaps early October" (with a rumour going around about the 2nd). Nothing certain, anyway. I've emailed CDV, but as of yet all I've received is the standard auto-generated email. The censored stuff is no big deal (although I personally find it just ridiculous). The manual would have been nice, but it's not a must. I'm a little concerned about CDV's copy protection scheme and CD-reader compability though, but I haven't heard much about it either way yet. So, come early October I might have to try and find a friendly soul in USA who can act as a middleman, if CDV should decide that Norway isn't a big enough market. ... Or I can order it from Amazon UK (see this thread) [ September 24, 2002, 06:34 AM: Message edited by: Hawk ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchlstrt Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Does anybody know the Weight & Dimesions of The Package, for shipping purposes? I ordered the 'Combo Pack' so I could try to suck a friend of mine into this with a BO 'Present'. It came in the USPS envelope about the size of a notebook. I don't know if BB only comes in the same thing. Thanks Strt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mies Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I just want the real, not tempered with, official, with all the extra's :eek: , without strange deals, manuals, logo’s, whatever’s delivered on my door mat. I’m going with the US version. Mies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter tilbury Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 rollsoty: I'm not a native speaker but I think Durchschlag sounds a bit strange for penetration. Shouldn't it be something like durchdringen or eindringen. The Brinell hardness test uses the concept of eindringe in German for example.

peter tilbury Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Good, then I bow to superior mother-tongue knowledge. Penetration means both entering and not exiting of a body, as well as entering and exiting of a body. It would be difficult to have a word in German that subsumes these two nuances of meaning: durchschlagen and durchdringen excluding one sense, whereas eindringen excludes the other. What would you say for a shot that only produces spalling, durchschlagen would'nt work...or would it?

SuperSulo Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I will (somehow) buy the US version. Reason: All of the above. What really tipped the scale was the manual. I had planned on buying the CDV version and play the US version, but now I'll just get the US version, had enough of german laws/EU retailer store shelf issues.

Bakker@home Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I would if I knew how. No resellers i know sell CM:BB, so there's no easy way to order an US copy from Europe. Until I find a way I let my UK order stand. Still hope I can 'patch' the CDV version with the US exec. And then probably donate $10 to BTS for the complete manual. I would prefer paying CDV $10 to be allowed to order the US version and have it done with. Oh well. But I'll live. Even the wait until 7-11 Oct. won't spoil my anticipation for CM:BB. Heck I survived the pre-demo days of CMBO didn't I ? PS: Yech ! Look you guys made me type a Whine post I hate myself now ! :mad: 'Pom, pom, pom' (twiddles thumbs and eyes calendar nervously ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_DK Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 There is NO way I'm going to buy a game that have been censored because a country in Europe has some kind of law against ss etc. That is SO discriminating of all other countrys in Europe. So I guess I will pick up the US warez version someday.... Mark Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
