I kindof agree with you rootango, it's a pity the map is still not released as I believe this would be THE map for the BOB/Channel campaign.. With all the research and historical accuracy (which I trust without knowledge of my own) behind this map I'm sure it would be pure joy just to fly around looking at the landscape and sceenery.
Though I doubt that BoB:SOW will be released earlier than aug/sept 2010.. Oleg promised release to BOB 70th anniversary.. ("within 2 weeks"). I believe we will start seing 1C announced ingame screenshots and reviews quite a few months before release.. and I haven't seen anything like it yet. So Xmas release 2009 is very highly unlikely.
