Me too.I just received the email saying my pre-ordered download is ready.
Good luck with it. In 2 tries I never got the demo to actually load and play.
Good Hunting.

True dat.Well, you'r prediction was 'never' if I recall correctly, which would make you an infinite number of years off....
Nothing wrong with British spelling old chap. And how did he spell 'joins'?Ugh. The "Strange Awakenings" battle briefing is dreadful. The scenario author, who goes only by the name "Jaws", uses British spelling and abbreviations throughout (COY for company, "3rd Armoured" instead of "3d Armored", etc.), and manages to spell the word "joins" incorrectly. I also think he is trying to be funny by naming a farm "La Grande Mustache." Mmm. Not really.
There are a lot of fictional scenarios on the disc, I'm finding.
On the plus side, I liked the look of the map for A Delaying Action, especially the lighting effects from the sun just peeking over the horizon, and the light cast off the burning AFV that starts on-map.
ROFL!!!! I bet every one has done this at one point. I could not believe the amount of floating discs hanging in the air!View attachment 33506
On the other hand, it is fun to have a new computer able to handle two opposing tank battalions on a 1km square map. Just to see what would happen. With some cavalry thrown in for support.
There is if you are talking about place and proper names. I cringe when I see Australians talking about some place called Pearl Harbour getting bombed on December 7th. There's no such place.Nothing wrong with British spelling old chap.
Simple typo; I can't tell if it was meant to be "joined" or "joins". Either way, it's wrong.And how did he spell 'joins'?
I'm still going through the list - I'm going to put a page on my website listing some details of the release scenarios of the different CM offerings just for interests' sake. Always interesting to compare/contrast how they evolve over time. I was looking at the CM:BO ones again and noticed the originals there had some fictional ones as well, which wasn't how I remembered it. I think there was a trend towards more "hardcore" historical treatment as a community movement, maybe more as CM:BB and CM:AK evolved, but not on release of CM:BO.Putting aside the humour for a moment, it sounds like they did a few historical type scenario's then bulked it out with fictional ones (just guessing here as I don't own the game).
Somebody really needs to proofread this "Jaws" person's briefings. I'm looking at Vierville on the release list. The briefing refers to Bravo company, ok, but also some howlers in the briefing. Most notably this chestnut:Ugh. The "Strange Awakenings" battle briefing is dreadful. The scenario author, who goes only by the name "Jaws", uses British spelling and abbreviations throughout (COY for company, "3rd Armoured" instead of "3d Armored", etc.), and manages to spell the word "joins" incorrectly.

could possibly be correct.I get the impression they may have been scrambling to add scenarios in prior to release.
Thanks for the clarification. It's a fair point; and it they were third party "after market" scenarios, it wouldn't be an issue. Anyway, enough said perhaps.Jaws is Dutch. You might like to bear that in mind while commenting on his English.
And yes, there could perhaps have been more proofreading, but:
could possibly be correct.
