Here the interresting points of the presentation and interview with Jamie Carlson and BB representant:
The european verison will be the last verison of DW 1.03, it come with a movie about the first nuclear submarine the Nautilus and a goodies trailer staring Jeff Tall a submarine commander (director of the RN Submarine Museum) . The campaign Red storm Rising is in the bundle and there will be some new MP scenrarii not found in the US version.
The french version will come with complete translation of the in game text and manual but not the voices, so other countries can expect the same.
At this time the OPFOR addon is still a project (the developpement is always linked to the sales of DW) so we have to buy at least 10 copy of DW each !
In the european list of paltform the german's are at the top of the list so no french minehunting or Agosta :nope:

No, Bill Nichols' Nautilus. Yep

Bill served on the SSN 571, which I think, all things considered, is one of the coolest things one could have done, and one of the brassiest, especially if you were on the first crew. Rock

"Ok guys, we are going to build this nuclear reactor, and then take this submarine..." :doh:

The Interview (at least the Cameraman) was for/from TVE. Additionally some people from spanish Game mags were attending as well. As for translation, it will be the same as with german and french :

- Translated Game
- 100 odd pages localized and abbreviated manual
- Box localized.

The full blown 500+ pages manual (PDF or split up and printed) will continue to be in english.

Nobilis the french distributor of DW said that the whole 500p documentation has been translated in French.

Why does Jamie look exactly the way I thought he would... in fact, when I saw the picture, I tried my damnest to figure out where I had seen him before, and decided I hadn't, just my image of him was spot on... ok then.

@Olivier : That statement about the manual (i.e. language) came directly from Livio or Davide (can't remember which one right now).
