Faelwolf Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I just got my pre-order in, and signed up for the forums tonight. I have lurked here off and on, and have been fence-sitting for a while on buying the game, though I did play around with the demo for AK a bit. Tyrspawn's videos finally convinced me to take the plunge I am one of the "seniors" having started with Squad Leader back in the mid 70's, and moved on to the Talonsoft series later on. I have been very much just a dabbler though, so will likely have a million questions over time as I try to get into it more, and learn. I will say that I do like the "we go" system as it doesn't make me feel rushed. I tried the demos of some other similar games over the years, but they were all real time, and I found it hard to keep up, especially while trying to learn. I am sorry I missed the earlier games in this series, but those that I tried really put me off the whole genre for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnersman Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Welcome! Glad to see the storms missed you! I've been playing CMx1 for too long now. Not quite since it all started, but almost. I think you won't be disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadekster88 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yep, welcome aboard. I too have recently started posting myself in anticipation of the game after a long time lurking. Good group of peeps here from what I've seen and most are pretty happy to answer questions. Just don't ask when the game is gonna be released, it always seems to cause a link to a group of old british farts moaning about the end of the world or something or other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchy Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hello. I too am new to the community. And like others, I was drawn in by the wonderful AAR videos of CM:BfN. I'm a long time lurker; it all started with CM:BO many years (well seems like many years) ago and have been playing various tactical and operational games since. Thanks BF Yes. And whatever you do, don't ask about the demo or when the game will be released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadekster88 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yep, I waltzed in there for a quick look around and between some of the guys playing themselves off as extras in a King Henry V play and others who have dubious levels of sentience, I barely escaped with my sanity intact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
