Default CMBN Demo Released

So far just one site is hosting it and the version at the US mirror is under size and corrupt.

There are atleast 4 sites up now and the corrupt file has been replaced.
I got the demo last night from the German site, loaded the game and looked at the 3
demo scenarios then went to bed.
Really looks great but I havent played as yet.

First impression:

As SSpoom said to a while back, "This game is going to be like Close Combat, only in 3d."

And that's a good thing.

Just played the tutorial battle. Game seems OK, but somehow not in the right groove. I also wonder if any, some or all of my pixel troops made it to the cover to which I just ordered them to go. Will have to play more to get a better feel. I do not understand how anyone (read: especially me) could play the tutorial in RT. Going back to deal with two waves of reinforcements by itself would pose a major problem, not to mention the overall number of units.

What I really dislike is the interface (GUI)--basically a carry over from CMSF

Im also pretty overwhelmed with RTS at anything over just a few units (in cmsf).
So dont feel alone =) I find myself losing track of guys also. There may be a unit bases mod that may make it easier. But RTS is a handfull to control.
