RE: Win XP

Download dosbox and one of the windows front end loaders. Your problem is lack of ega font support in bios on your motherboard. Dosbox corrects this and many other problems when playing old dos games. Warning, it is not simple to use, read the docs.

RE: Text is unreadable in WIR

<r> Please see my prior posts on using DOSBOX, a dos emulator. It includes ega bios level font and graphics support, and also maximizes dos conventional memory (useful in WinXP). It allows WIR to be played inside a window or full screen. Download current version here: <br/>

<r>This is a problem usually with lack of ega font compatibility in the bios of your (probably) new computer, and is especially common on laptops, especially Compaq brand. You can try DOSBOX, a free dos emulator currently at version .58 and as such has bugs but does work for me, and allow W.I.R. to ...

<t>This may have been discussed in an (long ago) prior thread, but I'll raise the dead and ask why losses are subtracted from unit strength with the current scheme. It seems like a mistake which no one has addressed because it was part of the origonal coding. <br/>

Hugo Boss, fashion NAZI?

I believe this came from a news report that Hugo Boss had manufactured uniforms for the SS. Here's a humorous website depicting the fall 1937 Hugo Boss Nazi fasion line:

<t>Let me see if I got this right. Currently losses are not subtracted from the total strength of the corps involved but from the "ready" strength only? I.e., a German corps in blizzard (December 1941) with 75% readiness with 800 total available squads would have available 600 ready squads for ...

I like this idea if you mean to allow HQs to have more that 10*SL OPs. I would also propose to allow HQs operation points to climb higher than 60 during usual supply if they do not move. Let's say HQ unit gets 3 ...

<t>This may have been already discussed or dismissed as not possible, but could the limit on "operation points" for headquarters be delinked from supply level or adjusted so that operation points given to a headquarters unit would be a max of 2 x supply level of that headquarer unit (up to the ...

With win95 through 98SE this should give around 622,000 out of 655,000 conventional memory and will enable ems memory. Then run as a dos program under windows. I have no problem with ...

AN IN HOUSE RULE I HAVE USED IN THE PAST IS ALL PANZER KORPS MUST CONTAIN 2 PANZER DIVS(OR ELITE SS MOBILE IN THE EARLY SCENARIOS).
ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT BE PERFECTLY HISTORICAL IT SEEMS TO PLAY WELL. IF PANZER DIVS ARE WITHDRAWN BELOW THE 2 LIMIT, THE KORPS MUST CHANGE TO INF. TYPE.
