It won't be any sooner than that, and it shouldn't be later unless something major comes up.

Stop looking at it!

Oh, sorry... It's that impatient side of me that is terrified you MIGHT find something between now and then. [:D]

Watch out toro, that thing is a menace[:-] There might be a ijn version with armor piercing 40mm rounds to cut through those thin allied hulls [X(] I do actually intend on doing a non historical ij air upgradewith better airplanes sooner as an alternative to standard game.. but no warthogs or apaches[:@] It could actually make the ia a player against a good human allied player and for me fun is the name of the game, or is the name witp ok witp+gold +dd = fun[>:]

As Super Chicken said to Fred - "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it."



It has been quite a long time since I have heard a call for Super Chicken, Caaall for Super Chicken

Can somebody explain "super chicken" to me? I had a girlfriend in high school who called me that, but I apparently have never seen the show (comic book?).

Maybe you girlfriend was calling you a chicken in the extreme![:'(]

Super Chicken was one of three cartoons in a cartoon show of long ago. There was George of the Jungle, Super Chicken and Tom Slick (and his Thunderbolt Grease Slapper).

It means you use your modem/dsl/cable modem etc to download the program over the internet. Just a fancy was of saying "download".

We'll be ready as soon as David is. The manual is off for layout and David is just finishing up some music/sound items. We keep making small changes while we wait, but we don't expect anything major to change between now and going gold. I'd expect the actual gold will happen late next week if things go well. We still expect the game to be on sale at Origins on the 24th and digital download (with option to get CD) shortly after that. It won't be any sooner than that, and it shouldn't be later unless something major comes up.

Sorry to bother if that's been answered, but is there going to be option to buy a "boxed" game? Or will it be only dig download? And "option to get CD" with the download means just that - a CD, no box, art etc.?

Just so that we know. I'll be buying the game via dig download, but if there's an option to buy a "properly boxed" game (artwork, booklet and such) I think I'll wait a week or two and buy that instead.

Replacement CD, if it's only a CD without box, art and booklet, does not interest me because I can burn my own replacement CD [:D] (as most of us here can, I guess)

Any idea as to when we can place pre-orders for the CD version? I will not be able to use the download, and would like my order to be placed in advance so that it can ship as soon as it is ready to ship. I'm not asking for a date on when it will ship, just a notification of when we can place the order. Thanks.

Will this game be available at GoGamer.com? I hate to pay full price ($50) for a game that doesn't come with anything but a CD.
