Army Builder 3 CD release date details?

I know that the Lone Wolf website says that the CD version of AB3 is
due to hit retail stores this month. Is there a more concrete date
set at this time?

We just went to production. The normal turn-around time is about a month.
So we ought to have product by the end of the month - hopefully sooner. I
won't know a more concrete date for another couple weeks.

Once we get the product here, we'll be shipping it out to our distributors
around the globe. Then they will get it to the retailers. There are a small
number of retailers who we ship to directly, and they should have AB a few
days sooner than stores who get AB via a distributor. But it shouldn't make
a difference of more than a few days, at most.

At this point, my best guess for when AB will actually be on store shelves
is the end of the first week of March, or possibly the second week. It all
depends on shipping times once we have the product here to ship out.

On a site note, I forget if those that bought the download version of AB3 will
get a cd shipped to them as well?

There will be no CDs shipped, since there would be nothing gained by doing
so. With the old version of AB, there was a substantial difference between
how the CD and electronic license versions of AB behaved. That distinction
is gone with V3.0. In fact, there is absolutely NO benefit to buying the CD
version. We'll have a CD version in about a month, but it's sole purpose
will be for sale in stores as a physical product. Beyond semantic
differences, there will be NO effective functional difference between the
CD and electronic license.

More details on this will be found on our website. I've provided a link
below to this specific topic, plus additional info will be found wihtin the
FAQ and licensing description on the website.

Hope this helps,
