One more thing that bugs me

[British Tommy]

Each to their own I say.
I'm a big fan of the CM series and even tried out the TOW demo (my interest stops at WW2) but didn't like what I saw. When CM:SF came out I decided instead to wait until BF brings out the next version of AK, BB , ETO or whatever.
Although BF are my favourite wargaming company, I will not simply buy SF blindly just to support the company (unlike others). You even have people bitchin on the BF forum because players are daring to mention the bugs! :( And by the way, the Blitz gets a mention!).
SF should never have been brought out and sold to the players in that condition. We expected a higher quality game from BF.
I can only hope they have learnt something from this.
