    Same here. Over on the .com message boards Kieran was saying something about there being a mess up with the distribution to retailers and (and likely rightly) absolved CA of any fault. According to another unsubstantiated third hand source Sega said that the game was not a "street date release" but instead was a "ship date release". Whatever any of that means, my copy went out on a truck at 2:30 and will probably be failed to deliver sometime while my wife and I are both at work tomorrow afternoon. I'll see what good I can do installing the little UPS failed to deliver slip in my hard drive. I'm not sure what good gaming I'll get out of it, but it'll probably have better AI than ETW.

    I'm telling you... go to www.amazon.com, and then just go to town on your computer monitor. It will make you feel soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good

    I happen to like my monitor though I think I will go to their website and send countless numbers of complaints.

    My preorder is also with Amazon yet I feel no urge to play the game out of the box without others trying it out first for bugs
    Read a napoleonic first hand account of a Hessian serving under the french flag

    Athenians: For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretenses - either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed;.......... since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.

    Part of the Melian Dialogue in The History of the Pelopenessian War by Thucydides.

    I've played about 5 hours of the Napoleon Campaign of europe, and I can tell you i have found maybe 2 minor graphical bugs, and that's it. One of them is that while some men are running they look like you have choppy framerates and are skipping ahead instead of fluid running. (it does not affect gameplay at all)

    Atleast you guys can buy it off amazon.com. Here Amazon.ca isn`t even selling the game. But they are fast at shipping other games, I got my copy of mass effect 2 the following day, which amazed me.
