Confirmation and expansion on the delay from the Battlefront blog:
"The release date for Combat Mission: Shock Force is now finally official: July 27th, 2007. See this thread for the press release:
Battlefront.com Discussion Forums: CMSF Release date announced!
With more than 2 months to go, of course this doesn't mean that the game is finished. The announcement signals just the beginning of the late Beta stage, when most major game features are in, and the focus is switching to polishing up existing features and visuals, bug testing, gameplay and balance testing, mission and campaign design and so forth.
Talking about campaigns, the game will feature one big Syrian campaign and one smaller training campaign taking the player through base camp at the Yakima Training Center at Fort Lewis. As focus is now switching to more visual things, finishing "real" maps, textures and models, expect more screens and videos from us in the weeks leading up to the release, including of course a demo around release day.
