US import should be around the $75-$80 mark
Asian import (English Game) around $50-$60

'Asian import' meaning the box and manual and whatnot is in "Asian' of some flavour but the actual installed game is the same English version?

Is there likely to be any discernible difference in the asian one? Pencil me in for one of them

As long a you can login to the lobby server you can probably buy your copy from anywhere. The game has a great tutorial so manual not required, plus the manual doesn't really tell you much, bit like an EA sports manual. I look forward to meeting you guys on the field. Now im off home to play against Biteme again in the hopes of finally beating him.

Correct, Asian Box and Manual, but 100% English Game, same as the US Version.

I'm surprised Biteme is hard to beat, I would have thought he would wind up running over most of his infantry with tanks and blow his own team to bits.

If you don't micromanage the tanks in the middle of a battle, they'll do a great job of shooting themselves up anyway...

Idiot Tank Commander: "Order received! Right you louts, everyone crowd together over there, and then all shoot your cannons while they're pointed at each other!"

Gay tank drivers: "Yay! Woohoo! Shooting our rounds at each other! Whoopee! Delightful!"

... 5 mins and several expensive smoking ruins later ...

Dead tank drivers: "It sounded like so much of a good idea at the time, where did we go wrong?"

Yeah sometimes the tanks do get in the way of each other. I tend to select them individually though as you are always trying to flank those pesky panthers. Played a 4 player match last night. Snake and myself on the allies and Biteme and an A.I opponent obviously as the germans. He did a great job of fighting us on two fronts, but the A.I was set to easy and we probably should have had it on Meduim. In the end we smashed him and I thanked Snake for his help in conquering the mighty Biteme.
Hurry up and get the game you guys so we can have some new people to get beaten up by.

Great news Wolfman, make sure you show it off to the hoes at the lan and we will have even more players then.

I may be able to get on tonight with my flatmate and give someone a match. I say maybe because if I start playing eve when I get home I may not be able to stop.

Mattly · Post by **Mattly** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 12:46 pm

Well i'm keen on playing tonight Eagle. How do i coa you off EVE? I shall put a post up when im' sorted after tea and hopefully you will notice and go for it.

Typhoon · Post by **Typhoon** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:01 pm

Luck of the Irish. I'll try and remember to turn ts on when I get home about 6pm. Then just leave it on. If you catch me and I haven't found any good targets it'll be easy to get me. If you catch me on a pirating high your chances are slim to none.

Im considering it Liquid, but until someone confirms that the multiplayer code has had a huge overhaul i shall hold onto my dollars. As fpr COH's I'm keen to play next weekend for sure. I'm not very good and I've had way more losses than wins.

Bold · Post by **Bold** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 6:01 pm

I picked up Company of Heroes on Friday and been having plenty of fun playing through the campaign so far

So whos keen to give it a go online tonight?

I think I'll be grabbing a copy of Flight Sim X as well, probably throw my money away on the collectors edition too..

Eagle32 · Post by **Eagle32** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 6:05 pm

I'd be up for some CoH tonight.

Actualyy i won't because our internet is extremely unstable tonight :/

Kryten · Post by **Kryten** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 10:29 pm

A few of us from NZG have adopted the Semois channel if anyone feels like lurking about for a game. Hopefully I'll have time to play again shortly :/

Bold · Post by **Bold** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 11:54 am

How about a game tonight? I should be on teamspeak from 8ish onwards

Mattly · Post by **Mattly** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 12:30 pm

i have to go out tonight, but this weekend would be really good.

Mattly · Post by **Mattly** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 2:11 pm

Change of plan Bold. I'm good to go tonight if your still keen. Biteme will be in as well. We could do with some more suckers though.

Bold · Post by **Bold** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 2:29 pm
