trek Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 As a proud owner of TOW and TOW2: Afrika I was wondering if you are going to offer the same pre-order deal you've posted for Strategic Command? I can't wait to start playing Kursk and will want to DL the digital version, but also want to have the boxed version with manual, etc. Hopefully, you are going to offer the same deal, right?

Moon Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yes, we will open pre-orders for Kursk fairly soon (it's planned for later this week). The exact time and date depends on the code "going gold" and a few other production to-do's, which, once completed, allows us to time pre-orders so that the time between a pre-order and the release does not exceed 4-6 weeks (any longer than that brings trouble, legal and logistical ) Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Moon, thanks for the quick reply. I'll keep an eye on this site later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piecekeeper Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Is there any more exact release date yet? demo soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The precisely exact release date is: when it's ready. It won't be more than 4-6 weeks for sure, perhaps less, depending on how quickly the final tidbits are polished (there is an in-game updater/patching mechanism that is currently being finalized and tested) and what the printing turnaround is (it varies always a bit depending on how busy our printing company is at a given time; unfortunately we're not big enough to have them drop everything else for us ) Demo soon, yes. Normally we wait with that until close to the release but since it's basically ready and already out in Russia, we're trying to get it english-ized as quickly as possible.

Piecekeeper Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks for the update! Will the english demo be the same as the russian?...only translated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The same as the Russian + tutorial mission. It's updated though (Russian demo is several months old). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Just want to say I just preorder it and looking forward to playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimo Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Could it be possible to pre-order the game with "download only" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 No, sorry, that is not an option. If you would like "download only", then simply wait until the game is released, and you can order (and download) then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTexGrad Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I ordered Strategic Command 2 yesterday and today I saw the bundle shipping offer for SC2 and Kursk. Is it possible to still get that deal or am I out of luck? Moon, I PM'd you this question before I saw this thread. Figured it might be easier for you to answer on here since your inbox is likely flooded :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Utex, actually I replied to your email before seeing this but the email bounced ("550 4.2.1 mailbox temporarily disabled"). Here is what I wrote: No, you're not out of luck. I can cancel your previous order and give you a coupon for that amount. You can then use that coupon to reduce your payment for a new order that includes both products. What's your order number? Martin PM me your order number, or submit a support ticket at www.battlefront.com/helpdesk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickie Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 "the file(s) you ordered are ready for your download." read my mail. So when? is all I wanna know now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trek Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Just pre-ordered my copy. Hoping you guys can get the DL ready sooner than estimated. Currently re-reading my books on Kursk and getting ready for battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 That's me pre-ordered too. I presume this is a standalone and not a module to the existing game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Correct, Phil. Kursk 1943 is standalone and does not require any other game to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 "the file(s) you ordered are ready for your download." read my mail. So when? is all I wanna know now. As pre-order customer, you will receive an email when your download is ready. Usually it's a few hours before the official release. Make sure you whitelist sales@battlefront.com with your email provider to avoid having the email go to your junk mail folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 No, sorry, that is not an option. If you would like "download only", then simply wait until the game is released, and you can order (and download) then. I'd rather give you money than to a shipper, so I'll wait. By the way, as for the ToW1 release, I'll change PC's for a better experience. I'm a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waycool Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 How good is the manual? Are we talking a juicy in-depth affair? Or under 50 page one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 We will be posting the game manual online, as for most of our other games, before the release. The size will be similar as for the other titles in the series. There are, in fact, several manuals, including the Mission and Map Editor manuals. Not all of them will be printed though, just the main manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huhr Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I just ordered the Global Conflict game and the next day the special comes out for Kursk and I don't get the deal? Is this accurate or do I have to pay another 10 bucks of shipping? Just curious, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokturnal Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Moon - Regarding the manual, purely out of curiosity..How many are being printed? 100s? 1,000s? Is it likely to sell out before the official release of the game? It's not a concern to me as i've already placed my pre-order, but some friends of mine probably won't be persuaded to buy it until they've seen me play it. Just wondering if they'll still have a chance to pickup the manual. But if not then they can still get it online so it's no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this accurate or do I have to pay another 10 bucks of shipping? Just curious, Huhr, I replied to your question via PM. In short, we can cancel your pre-order for Global Conflict, issue you a store coupon, and you can then pre-order both games (you'll only end up paying the difference).
