Sergei Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 If the estimate given in the frontpage on 20 April was "within the next 14-21 days", that would suggest May 4th to 11th. Of course, maybe you're talking about some other game than CMBN... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Right enough , the front page on the 20th April (Mac announcement) does say "Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy is scheduled for release within the next 14-21 days." IIRC BF suggested both PC and MAC version would be available at the same time. That would make it 4th of May @ the earliest ...... may the forth be with you I guess we can hope that was MAC only but i don't think that's the case from memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pvt. Ryan Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 What's a MAC? Media Access Control - usually referred to as a MAC address. It's a computer networking term. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 If the estimate given in the frontpage on 20 April was "within the next 14-21 days", that would suggest May 4th to 11th. Plus another four or five days for the box to arrive. Downloads should be immediate...providing that the server can keep up with the demand.

benpark Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Ref, can we get a ruling? The "regular" PC release still mentions the "end of April" as the target date (rather than the start of May). The first two weeks of May seem covered by the Mac release notes. Free time must be allotted, vacations planned, births put off, sleep schedules plotted, monkeys must be refreshed, Mac OS Lions must be tamed, etc, etc. Then again, I've always liked surprises so today works nicely as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelley Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Stick to the End of April Please! There have been enough delays in releasing this game. Its been almost 4 years since release of CMSF. Shouldn't we already have about 8 modules, if going by the 6month moldule program initially announced? Yet we have CMSF with 3 modules and a 4th released by 3rd party. Just release the game already!!!! There are gonna be patches to it whether you release it today or 6 months from now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 It was planned for Friday, but the Queen Mum asked for a delay as William would likely not have shown up. "sorry Kate, but my Company is pinned down under heavy fire!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yes, I'd like to add please dont delay the game because of voice wavs, I make my own thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 A question related to releases that I don't think has come up yet: What's the "best" day of the week for BFC to release it? Since this game is not purchased in stores, I assume any day is as good as any other from a marketing scheme. But to please this audience, I assume they'll put it out on a Friday so that we can all spend the weekend glued to our monitors. Otherwise, the national ecenomies of several nations might take a huge dive in productivity for up to a week if it was released, say, on a Monday. So my guess is April 29 or May 6. Please, please, please be April 29! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 It cant be May 6th. Its a WW2 anniversary release date and this is against BFC policy. So, what's left? This Friday!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCat Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'm all for this Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Belenko Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Optimal release time: 15:25 Pacific Time on 5 May 2011. 5 minutes before end of shift on a 3 day weekend. I could tell my boss I'm taking Monday off and have 4 days to get acquainted with the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greup Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 If the estimate given in the frontpage on 20 April was "within the next 14-21 days", that would suggest May 4th to 11th. Are you sure? I *think* the web page said 7-21 days when I ordered mine and it seems they changed the estimate to something more realistic afterwards, but I might be mistaken. Anything less than 21 days will surprise me, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greup Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 It cant be May 6th. Its a WW2 anniversary release date! May I ask what WWII anniversary? A brief search on the net gives me these possible anniversaries for May 6th: May 6th, 1940:Hitler again delays X-Day, this time till the 10th May. May 6th, 1941: Stalin declares himself 'Chairman of the Council of Peoples Commissars'. May 6th, 1942: B-17's from Australia spot the Port Moresby Invasion Fleet south of Bougainville. They attack the Japanese Carrier Shoho but miss. Admiral Fletcher is now convinced that the main Japanese force would make for the Jomard Passage between Papua and the Louisiade Archipelago and so organises his forces for the coming battle. May 6th, 1943: Hitler makes one of his increasingly rare visits to Berlin for Viktor Lutze's funeral. May 6th, 1945: The last U-boats of the war sunk with all hands: U-853 and U-881 in the North Atlantic by US destroyer escorts, and U-3523 in the Baltic by the RAF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Wasnt 6th of May when Germany offcially surrendered and war in Europe ended? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Wasnt 6th of May when Germany offcially surrendered and war in Europe ended? No. Germany surrendered both on 7th and 8th of May (Soviets decided that the General who signed the first instrument was not authorized to do so; some details were also changed). The latter is seen as the VE Day in the west; Russians celebrate their Victory Day on 9th of May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Ah, I always mix 9 and 6 for a strange reason. I had the Russian Victory day on my mind. Thanks for the clarification. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Jeez, don't give in so easy, Ali-Baba...that means it could be as late as the 6th! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
