aka_tom_w Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 But so far no word on file size. (but since we all claimed (unanimously) that we don't care about file size, I am only posting this question because I am JUST curious. How big is the file size? Small skirmish? (a hand full of units on each side) Medium sized engagement? (regular every day garden variety scenario) Large scale battle with as many units as possible in the game? (i.e. The BIG One, "Crossing the Volga" was a BIG One!) any estimates? Thanks for the GREAT news! -tom w And never forget, "For every action there is always and equal and opposite overreaction!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Who cares about the file size. If it bursts people's mailboxes we use ftp, http or bittorrent. Also means that the dumbest folks are automatically excluded from PBEMing which might be a good thing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hey!! Where can I get this ftp, http and bittorrent? I heard it is necessary to play the CM over the email! Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I can't say for sure what the file size will be since file sizes vary wildly depending on all sorts of factors. Same was true for CMx1 games. However, it does appear that the file size won't be unreasonably large. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Then it must be reasonably large! BFC cut PBEM by backdoor route! Or somefink 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 File size doesn't matter to me, but PBEM is THE single most important feature for me. So, great news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixxkiller Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Make the file size so large that it is on the Russian Front! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFCElvis Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 There are some that say size matters but I'm not one of them. In most cases I prefer a smaller one but can handle a big one if I have to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Ruddy Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 ...and the clouds parted and a great voice spake the words of the Lord, and the masses trembled, not in fear, but in anticipation, and the Lord saw that it was good, and peace came once again to the valley of the unwashed basement dwelling PBEM-ers, and deep in the caves of Albertina, a grog named Greg was born, and the Lord saw it and named it commander of all that lives in militaria shows, re-enactment clubs and the scale model war-ships that sail the deep blue seas, and the unwashed PBEM-ers rejoyced for their king was born. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Means Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 If you imagine that scene from Platoon, where the good sergeant is on his knees, while all hell goes off behind him, you know the one - that's me right now but with a big grin on my face. Well done lads. ...quite hard to type like this actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
