Combat Mission 2 1.03 nocd pleez?

[synchro_w]

i bought Combat Mission 2 as soon as it came out as it is the same engine <?> as Combat Mission:BO and they are classy games...
but i have been searching for nocd patch/crack for so long and the best i can find for the english version is the CM2 1.03 beta nocd, the 1.03 beta patch being ..well... a beta version of the 1.03 patch... which is bugged.
there's a german version of 1.03 nocd but i tried that and, obviously, it makes all the text german... so..no go.
does anyone know of a place where i can get a Combat Mission 2 1.03 english nocd crack/patch? bear in mind i've checked GCW, Gamefixx, megagames for quite a while w/o luck.
it's not a huge deal but i prefer not to CD swap as it does effect its condition when u play as many games as i do and have to do a lot of CD swapping. also, i'm a lazy sod and trawling thru scores of CD cases to find the cd is a tad annoying.
