Our aussie cousins get their copy first?

they deserve it , dont they ? ;)

Oh whilst on the subject of the CE, does anyone know the dimensions of the map, as I'm planning to frame mine once it arrives?

Did our Aussie cousins get the calendar?

nah, the calender is a pure russian affair.. the rest of the world gets the spitfire manual instead.

you have no decision between girls and Spitfire ;)

I thought so but one of the mods mentioned that it would be available with all CE.
I'm not too bothered, would have liked to have kept the cover as a poster :(

I want, I want, I want.......;)

The Australian version is labeld as "Manufactured in Australia IL2: Cliffs of Dover ANZ" (just above the Bar Code on the paper sheet on the back of the box) It may account for the early delivery to stores

Cheers!

its called a chart

Thank you for that, unfortunately in my military training it is known as a map as in map & compass. Charts are something men in suits use for powerpoint presentations...oh and sailors too.
