It's Win8 64 bit. Thanks for your continued support.

FYI - tried it on Win 8 - my wife's computer.  Same crash bug, but the uninstall option is not viable.

<r> Yeah, that seemed to have fixed it, but I did crash on turn 5 of Poland with this message, not sure if it's related.<br/>

So I changed my resolution from 1680X1050 to 1440X900 and the crash did not recur. But then I crashed on turn 8 or so with an OutofMemory exception. Was too disappointed to get the debug code, sry.

<r> Applied patch 1.51g, and crash recurred within 5 minutes:<br/>

<r> First turn of Poland in Campaign vs. AI. Happens unpredictably when scrolling, but usually when near the map edges and has happened in all zoom levels. Happens when starting a new campaign or loading a save game. Have been unable to get through a single turn.<br/>

Sounds like as they exist they are great for throwing into the meat grinder to stop an enemy advance....they are more effective as raw recruits jumping off the trains into machinegun fire...

I'll play, I'm a PBEM novice also.&nbsp; Will send you a PM.

I have all the games I need!&nbsp; Thanks for all of the offers via PM.

I'm looking for any scenario or random map with any conditions. Probably opening myself up for an ambush, eh? We can talk about about the details, but I'm tired of beating up on the AI.

I might observe that well placed paradrops along the roads into the mountains would result in massive paratrooper casualties as well as massive drop in the supply of the italians in the hills.&nbsp; Along with a ton of artillery, it might make a breakthrough possible.

I've seen this in another thread. It seems like it is a % reduction in range proporitonal to readiness which breaks at 75, 50, 25. For example at 50% readiness they intercept at 50% range.

Oh boy...I hope I didn't tip my hand too much. That is...the hand that I haven't played this scenario before. Heh.

<t> First turn sent to jjdenver, NATO is shocked by the sudden build up of Communist troops and hastily rushes troops to the European front. Deep recon flights suggest a buildup of armored assets around Berlin. Brussels is concerned and orders massive changes in production. Artillery obstinently ...

Sounds good, I'll start it as soon as I get the email.

I've found that the AI is more goal directed and efficient with more VPs.&nbsp; Maps with small numbers of large cities give the computer a lot of open space to fumble around in and he becomes very prone to over extending himself and allowing massive encirclement.

My prefs:
PDRC
NATO
USSR
US

I'll play WWIII, I might be fodder though since I've only played against the AI.

<t> I pray the supply system is never changed.&nbsp; Although difficult to learn, it is the most transparent and manipulable supply system I've ever used and it makes managing logistics enjoyable - this coming from a guy who hates micromanagement.<br/>

First post, nice to meet y'all ...
