Thin Red Line Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 CDV beats BFC, how ironic ! But it is a joke, isn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted September 19, 2002 Author Share Posted September 19, 2002 Yes, I NEVER expected it to arrive so soon. I was sitting here, doing some stuff for my thesis when suddenly the doorbell rang. God, who's this? I'm busy... "Post, a package for Mr.Baur!" "My god, come in, fast!" OK, install completed, I'll be back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stixx Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Only a 90 page manual? I read some where the manual was going to be bigger than CMBO and the CMBO manual is 177 pages (Plus those 2 blank ones at the back they didn't print on ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my guess is that CDV had to make a compromise in order to fit it into a DVD-case. Unless it has a very small print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParaBellum Posted September 19, 2002 Author Share Posted September 19, 2002 Yep, only parts of the manual are available in printed form. The rest is a PDF file. Looks like the complete manual has 152 pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPCdave Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Parabellum, Despite remembering all too well the failed Axis attack at Herr Zimmerling's house I simply must get my filthy hands on the German version...just so I can see 'Sturmangriffe' in the orders menu. Just a quick question...are there CDV logos splashed all over the place? Is the US soldier still on the cover? Mate, we need all the info...then you can get back to your thesis.

DavidNo CDV logos all over the place, just one screen when loading CMBB, pretty much like the demo. And the US soldier is still on the cover... Ah, the Sturmangriffe! And "Durchschlag" in my ears sounds way better than "penetration" *cough*... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
