Countdown to British release of CTP2

[Fraze]

Has anyone in the UK got it yet ?

Form which store ?

Do I need to start thinking of an excuse to leave work early ?

[Grumbold]

Release confirmed.

I phoned Electronics Boutique (Oxford St, London) and they have received copies which are on their shelves right now.

[Coflek]

They haven't got it in EB in Bracknell!!!

I just wen't there and they said that out of around 40??? games released today only 16 arrived to Bracknell??? CTPII is not one of them

Looks like Central London could be the lucky winner. Plenty of copies in "Game" on Victoria High St too. Hopefully the rest of you will be in luck tomorrow. Probably some fallout from the continuing railway and flooding problems disrupting the distribution network.

Well now I've got it I'm off to read the manual.

BTW I got it in Game in central Nottingham- there's hope for you provincials yet.

I never did get out of work in time.

By the time I got to town the shops were all closed.

I guess there's always tomrow.

I wouldn't have had much time to play anway, I've a big night of rocking good music to go to.

Did they change the voices to "English" accents or is that standard on all versions? The first few units I've built appear to try and imitate one. I haven't played the middle/later units yet.

Hehe...

Some of the English voices in it sound quite good...but they're mostly just utter tack...especially the voice for the troop ship and the one or the cannon...I mean, honestly!

Also, it seems the infantryman still has the original, American musketeer's voice.
