Not even listed at upcoming release section. So it's probably meant as surprise gift for loyal customers. [;)]

Read the features list. It is the same features repeated over and over again. Why not only write about a feature once?
 
I think it is realy low to try and make a long list by stating the same features multiple times.

CC V covered, in a least a few scenarios, the Normandy landings.
History began July 4th, 1776. Anything before that was a mistake.

Planned release date for this is next Wednesday, assuming all goes well. We've posted the product info in the Coming Soon section. Have to say I'm having a blast playing the Grand Campaign with the gold master candidate, some very tough night battles with the airborne followed up by tough beach landings.

Actually, that's known as a copy and paste error. Going in to fix it now.

Yes, but not as super-old as CC1.

CC2 came out in 1997.

IMO, its the best of all the CC titles.

It's older than 3,4 and 5! [;)] That said, it's also the best of the bunch as well as the one most in need of an update, which is why it's the one folks really want to see.

I would get this, but I'm not sure there'll be enough of an improvement over the original to justify the outlay.  However it does look worthwhile for new users, it looks like it's a combination of the original Invasion Normandy and the fantastic Gold, Juno, Sword mod.
