Yeah. The CMBO demo had good scenarios, but CMBB's were a couple of duds. Hope CMAK makes up for the lapse.

I dunno when the release dates will be, but two good dates would be......

18 Nov for the demo - Anniversary of Op Crusader, the (3rd) attempt to relieve Tobruk.
Also IIRC the first major operation by the 8th Army.

7 Dec for the full game - Anniversary of the end of the (242 day) seige of Tobruk.
The first major defeat of German land forces in WW2.

.........Fitting dates for a NA game, but I wouldnt complain if it were sooner

July 10th would be more appropriate; the anniversary of the largest amphibious operation in the European theatre, the first invasion of an Axis homeland, and I guess a kind of midpoint of the war in the Med; after Africa and before Italy and in the middle of the 1940-45 date range.

So, let's speculate overwhat the demo scenaios are likely to look like. Firsly, I'm thinking it'll be two battles.
I'm guessing that the Germans will be the Axis on both occasions to save on file size. The Americans will IMHO fight one, for marketing reasons if not for anything else. The other will be the British Commonwealth because you need to show stuff you don't see often. I'm thinking the Lees will show up in the American battle to show it off, while the Brits might get a few Matildas or Crusaders because many people reckognize and identify them as typical of North African warfare. A smattering of inf and atleast one FO to show of dust being kicked up.

Or alternatively the Brits get a Grant or two in North Africa while the Americans go to Italy. This would be to show off the higher elevations but would mean having two sets of terrain included and might be prohibitive, size wise.
