rangerj Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 but we're all thinking this. Looks like no release for CMBN today. Bummer, too. My wife is out of town, my kids don't have any tournaments, and I'm finished with my end of semester grading. Was looking foward to celebrating Easter Day by killing Nazis.

Comandante Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 but we're all thinking this. Looks like no release for CMBN today. Bummer, too. My wife is out of town, my kids don't have any tournaments, and I'm finished with my end of semester grading. Was looking foward to celebrating Zombie Jesus Day by killing Nazis. The BF announcement yesterday of the Mac version seems to say that ALL versions of CMBN will be out in another 2-3 weeks: "Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy is scheduled for release within the next 14-21 days. Once released, it will be available in a PC and a Mac OS X version..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piecekeeper Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 That must be more than 6-8 weeks after preorder. I hope it will be released before the May the 10th, otherwise I will lack the ability to download anything from the internet for a couple of weeks. How many weeks after download release will the box arrive then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodkin Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I guess a few of us were encouraged by Moon's comments last week that 'you'll know the download size yourselves, next week'. Alas it seems like someones popped the balloon in front of the small childs face as they went to grab it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMcJansen Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I am not really angry, just a little bit disappointed...just hoped to get it before the easter holidays...balloon popped *sigh* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I guess a few of us were encouraged by Moon's comments last week that 'you'll know the download size yourselves, next week'.

para Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 And I kept my promise... the download size is listed on the pre-order pages That's great :-) but i think i speak for many when i say, it would be nice to get a good idea on the time frame left till the release. Spending day after day, hour after and hour on here refreshing pages etc is making me stressed. is it +7 days or less? surely it's not too much to ask ps i'm serious, i am stressed :-/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 surely it's not too much to ask It is, because even I do not have a firm answer for this. Too many variables. The best that can be guessed has been mentioned in the pre-order announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 It is, because even I do not have a firm answer for this. Too many variables. The best that can be guessed has been mentioned in the pre-order announcement. So 14-21 days :-( thanks for the straight answer Moon. I shall return then, can't keep doing this refresh stuff continously, thinking it is any hour any minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall return then, can't keep doing this refresh stuff continously, thinking it is any hour any minute. nope - 13-20 days!!! Oh wait that still means not today...sigh.

I shall return then, can't keep doing this refresh stuff continously, thinking it is any hour any minute. Ditto. When it gets released we all get an email anyway. Weekend I guess spent doing house repairs and starting my take-down of the backyard fence that I'm replacing late May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cull Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 And I kept my promise... the download size is listed on the pre-order pages I knew it, and I was both right and wrong on my prediction. But I was definitely right in saying that Moon is a cruel sadist. Welp, back to pretending I don't care when it comes out. New levels of distraction will definitely be required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waaarg Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Is the game gold yet? I tried searching for it on the game page, but no dice. IIRC length of gold period is around 2 weeks? If it has gone gold does anyone know when that was? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 How many weeks after download release will the box arrive then? Hmmm, where you are, maybe by Midsummer. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnersman Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Jeez guys! I feel your pain...but come on! It'll get here! From the home page for pre-orders (before Mac OS X was announced). Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy is scheduled for release around the end of April, 2011. Once released, it will be available as a digital download ($55), via mail ($55 + S&H) and both download & mail package ($65 + S&H). Lots of wiggle room there. So, bet on the first week of May and hope it comes out before then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcents Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 My birthday is May 1st. I can't think of a better gift than a release that week. Failing that, you can just send me a download link on the 1st. I promise that I'll keep quiet for at least a couple of hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixxkiller Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 No imminent BFC release is complete without these types of threads. Takes me back to when it all began. I was almost camped in hall way of my apartment at the mailbox to make sure the mail lady didnt just set it on top of the boxes for someone else to enjoy. Man how technology has changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
