HA HA, got this bloddy game at last!!

I've decided the next version of LWAMI will be for the Micronesian DW customers only. :p

Btw, some scenarios still exist on Bill's site, maby in different versions.
I infer from the name that the scenario you speak about concerns the FFG7 so it will have to wait a bit (as I said - bit overhelmed here ).

I think comparing the availability of Dangerous Waters in Kosovo to Britain is unfair. I mean, you can even buy a T-72 (low mileage, full service history, road tax) in Kosovo...maybe even a suitcase nuke. By the way...we are talking about ORIGINAL copies here, right?

No...Dangerous Waters is nigh impossible to find here in Britain. I've been to the biggest PC Worlds...nothing. Toy R Us...nothing. Boots...nothing. Anne Summers...nothing. Seriously, this game...

So the lady went to Hamleys, did she? I'm curious how much it cost there..do you know how much she paid? :hmm: As far as I know, Hamleys don't stock many PC games. Very peculiar distribution, I must say.

As I said, Im a proud owner of a LEGAL extended copy with all the printed manuals and two bonus disks. I insisted on a legal copy (was offered a pirated copy from a guy whom i made contact with about buying his old legal copy of SC,
what an irony ). I hope this small support help to convince SCS to support this great product and to continue producing more sims (although Im affraid that this will be the last we see from them).

From what i heard from my colleague, the saleswoman in hemleys didnt know about DW at first, it was another worker there who digged up the last copy.
He told my colleague's wife that they had recieved 4 coppies in total, 3 of them were bought on the day of arrival, the last one waited for me .

Oh, i payed 29.99 pounds for it.

Ori...I was referring to Kosovo as the "non-original" copy. Interesting. Yes, I heard that from a few people...you have to ask a shop assistant about DW and then they send a co-worker down into the basement and come back up wth a dusty one full of cobwebs and say "...there were 4 down there" in a surprised voice. Maybe why I never saw it in PC World.

Oopps, silly me, didnt read it thoroughly.

Plenty of the Dangerous Waters 2CD European version in my local Virgin megastore...Don't know if that helps anyone...

What? Do you have doubts? rofl

On a more serious note... it was kind of a pleasure to see some copies of DW in the proximity of games like CallOfDuty2 and some other great games

Since those scenarios made by bill for some kind of payment, it wouldnt be fair just giving them away. The least we can do is wait for his permission.
I dont think they intend to make all of you buy another copy, i think its more for those with a light finger on the IMULE, you cant blame them for it. I mean, i was really surprised when i searched all the booklets and boxes and didnt find any kind of CD key.

BTW, All those extra missions weigh less then 10MB and most of it is RSR.

I have a contact at BB, I'll e-mail them. Essentially, why not allow folks have these scenarios, those who have paved the way for DW success by purchasing the game when it first came out? They can only play the scenarios on the DW game... may as well spread a little goodwill.

Hear, hear the voice of reason.
You're dead-on Neal, the scenarios/missions are absolutely useless without DW (any version, battlefront, strategy first, steam).
I'm thinking that since all the versions of DW are essentialy the same, BB doesn't want to loose legitimate sales to people that would buy the american retail release and or the steam release and then play BB extra scenarios.
Piracy doesn't even come into play here. Its all about keeping your market share.
Unfortunately we early customers are between the hammer and the anvil.

The reason those missions should be publicly available is because StrategyFirst, Steam, and BlackBean would not be publishing this game for you to buy now, if WE did not buy this game from Battlefront when it was in 1.0, a late Beta version of the game (this is the truth).

We have waited for 3 patches, put MUCH personal effort into promoting this game, so any kind of extra materials are fine to keep as promotional material for target audiences, but game files are a different matter.

Cheers,

Precisely. I'm not asking that they give me the nice Nautilus video that came with it or the discounted tickets to that submarine museum. I always thought we were free, even encouraged to share scenarios. :hmm:
