Running TOAW III in Win 11?

Has anyone been able to run TOAW III in Windows 11? I used to play the game on my old Win 10 computer. In January I bought a Win 11 machine, and finally got around to loading TOAW III onto it. I've tried every compatibility configuration, but the game only shows the introductions screen. When I ...

yes and yes and yes...

I eventually bought a couple games directly from the John Tiller website in the hope that they will be more up to date. Thank you anyway.

RE: John Tiller's Napoleonic Battles

<t> I bought "Republican Bayonets on the Rhine" a few days ago, mainly because it is on sale. I only play with the unit icons (3D???), because I want to see the flags and colorful uniforms. Hopefully a graphics mod will be available for that game soon.<br/>

RE: Do the Battleground games work in Win10?

Is anyone else playing these games? Just wondering if "run as administrator" is all I need. Also, does the sound work? Does the little video play when you do assaults?

RE: Quick Answers

I played the original version of this game back in the day. I bought version III some time ago but have not played it very much.

Does this version IV include a random battle generator? That's a feature I always hoped would be included. Building scenarios manually is very tedious.

<t> I bought and enjoyed several of the Civil War and Napoleonic Battleground games back in the day. I tried to install one of them recently, but I see that they won't even install in Win10.<br/>

My current resolution is 1920 x 1080. So would I be reducing the resolution? Sorry for the dumb question; I'm not very tech savvy.

Have you tried dxwnd for full screen, or running the base game in windowed mode? That will speed up things significantly.<br/>

If scrolling is still "clunky" at max scroll speed you are suffering needlessly...[;)]

<r> Thank you so much! I look forward to 1.06. I'm very happy that this game is still alive, but I must say that I'm disappointed that it moves as slowly on this brand new Win 10 computer as it did on my old Win 7 machine.
