Scipio Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 The promised interview with CDV about the European release of Combat Mission:Barbarossa to Berlin is now published. Visit WarfareHQ to read the interview and find out where to preorder CM:BB (if you shouldn't have done this already.)

Prinz Eugen Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Darn. Hope the Finnish version will be out before Xmas...Guess I'll place my order in the UK, then. Oh, it would've been nice if the link would lead to the ACTUAL page where the preorder can be placed. But thanks anyway ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holien Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hi, I can not find the place to pre-order? Is there one in English? What am I doing wrong? H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prinz Eugen Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Jussi, mail them at bestellen@cdv.de. That's where they take orders in email form. ( If I'm not terribly wrong ! :eek: ) ¨ That's what I did, for I too found the ordering bit a little difficult ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Nothing about CM:BB on the English part of the CDV website except the pre-release pics after a search. But in the German language part of CDV there is something about Combat Mission 2. Illustrated with a very dramatic picture of squaddies about to be squashed (no backward R's at all;)), I tried to order but the secure transaction keeps coming up and telling me that I'm not who I am and that's as far as it goes. I think if the order had been processed I would have gort the disk in German (not good I'm English) and it would have been for PC (not good again as I'm on a Mac). A poor show or I should have I paid more attention at school in languages and computer studies? Edit: OK I've read the small print..... Scipio: Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. BTW, German customers can already preorder CM:BB on the CDV homepage!Scipio [ August 13, 2002, 12:35 PM: Message edited by: Wicky ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrAlimantado Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 It seems like preorders can only be done through the German version of their webite. Oh well. I wonder why the game is initially only released in Germany and UK. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, etc, will all use the UK version, so why the delay? Oh well.

Pvt. Ryan Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Damn, you CDV customers are so lucky. Pre-orders and everything! Can I get someone in CDV's territory to order CMBB and ship it to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 A dumb question: Why pre-order through CDV when you can order direct from THIS site the first day it comes out? I read in an old posting that Matt promised that they would not run out of CMBB stocks in the first week (due to unexpected demand) like they did with CMBO. Another thing about the CDV site you can click to in that interview. They have a graphic, I suppose of the game box, that shows a G.I.(?) pulling a comrade out of the path of an oncoming Panther tank. I have to say there's something suspiciously un-Battlefront.com about that piece of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my interview with Moon, it's also at WarfareHQ :cool: And who cares about the box, especially if we consider some other well known minor changes? I will trash the box anyway...

Firefly Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 People can also pre-order from Software First and possibly other online stores in the UK, although I believe they charge postage for sales outside the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
