You do not need the CC3 CD to play CoI.  If it asks for the CD, then you are missing a file or files from your installation.  After you get the message asking for the CD, there may be another dialog telling you what file is missing.

However, I didn't see the issues I addressed above mentioned in the mega-thread.

Thanks for mentioning them.

<t> Surprising how often that one comes up, and no more thought through than before.&nbsp; To me Medics in a CC battle would be no more than extra cannon fodder, and have no real value to the action (and many possible distractions).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't think it is intrinsically wrong, but I don ...

Well I was all for keeping Steiner and Ivan! [:D]&nbsp;But I lost... [:(]&nbsp;Can't win them all... [8D]

I think berserk is more likely with conscript type troops.&nbsp; I haven't had any go berserk yet.&nbsp; With the mods made to the AI, there's going to be some changes to what you would expect for default CC3 behaviour.&nbsp; Has anyone had any troops go berserk yet?

<t> As Germans, you are going to have your work cut out in the early stages of the Campaign.&nbsp; In reality, the Russian T34 and KV1 were significantly superior to anything the Germans had, and no hand held tank poppers! until late '43.&nbsp; The 50mm is the best AT, but will still have to work ...

From the rapidly gathering interest, I would say yes?&nbsp; I'll add it to the mix and stir a little.&nbsp; See what bubbles up... [;)]
