<r>I got the mail about the new store, and when I first got it I checked he status of my order, and it said "Processing". Then I just checked it now, and it seems the order system has never heard of me.<br/>

Any idea what's going on?<br/>

Didn't there used to be a Pegasus Bridge scenario shipped with the game?

This is almost certainly some kind of mismatch between the OOBs and the saved scenario data.

<t>My guess is you're running into the complete lack of support for later versions of DirectX on Windows NT. As far ask I know,<br/>
you can't get support for DirectX versions beyond 3.0 on Windows NT, no matter what Service Pack you're at, and the game is not guaranteed to run on anything earlier ...

I'm pretty sure you need to not move or fight if there's going to be any chance of the crew fixing the problem.

I get repairs maybe one every fifteen or twenty breakdowns, so I wouldn't bet anything on having that Panther's 75 available.

I thought Ed Harris ran away with the movie, myself, although I acknowledge I'm about the only person who thinks this.

30 Mar 2000 1800 hours.

After which, no one at Matrix will probably go near a computer for 72 hours, if releases there approxiamate those of my experience.

<t>It's not specifically based on any book about Stalingrad or Zatisev -- at least not to the point where anyone thought this needed to be credited.<br/>

<t>I enjoyed it very much, though people who are going to it looking for a widescreen historical depiction of the battle of Stalingrad are doomed to be disappointed. This is not a war movie in the vein of something like "The Big Red One." In fact, to be fair, the war is just a framing sequence. The ...

<t>First off, welcome to the community.<br/>

At the risk of sounding pedantic, I'd suggest you read the manual, because while the basic premise is the same, this game has about the same relationship to the original SP as Quake III has to the original Doom.<br/>

Well, it all looks great.

Can anyone comment on what differentiates the MegaCampaign from something you might edit yourself, aside from size?

The comment about the editor in the list of
new features is intriguing.
