:1. Was the Worms Blast demo CD distributed with releases of the Worms Battle Pack other than the UK release? I myself have a UK release pack and have the CD, but have noticed that the German release didn't seem to advertise the demo CD on its cover, suggesting its exclusion. Is it specific to the UK release?

:2. How many releases/localisations of the Worms Battle Pack were there? I know of the UK and Germany releases; were there any others? Did they have different barcode numbers, or did the barcode number listed (3 307212 320252) apply to all of them?

:3. Were there any differences in content between the Worms Battle Pack and the later US release of the Worms Triple Pack? We believe not, but I'd be interested in knowing for sure.

Thinking of sending Ubisoft an email

I'm writing up an email that I plan (if everybody agrees or if I don't hear from anyone) to send to Ubisoft with some questions. Here's what I have so far:

Hello,
I am an editor at the Worms Knowledge Base ( http://worms2d.info/ ) and I am currently trying to find information on the Worms Battle Pack compilation, which included Worms 2, Worms: Armageddon, and Worms World Party, plus (in some regions) a playable demo of Worms Blast. The information that we have so far on it is available at http://worms2d.info/Worms_Battle_Pack , but some of it may be wrong.
As the compilation was published by Ubisoft, I was wondering if you might be able to answer some questions I have about the pack:
1. Was the Worms Blast demo CD distributed with releases of the Worms Battle Pack other than the UK release? I myself have a UK release pack and have the CD, but have noticed that the German release didn't seem to advertise the demo CD on its cover, suggesting its exclusion. Is it specific to the UK release?
2. How many releases/localisations of the Worms Battle Pack were there? I know of the UK and Germany releases; were there any others? Did they have different barcode numbers, or did the barcode number listed (3 307212 320252) apply to all of them?
3. Were there any differences in content between the Worms Battle Pack and the later US release of the Worms Triple Pack? We believe not, but I'd be interested in knowing for sure.
Thank you for your time and any answers you can give.
