You might try reducing the hardware sound acceleration level, using dxdiag. [&:]

Good luck!

I don't ever recall adjusting it from the default of '0'. If I wanted to adjust the degree of difficulty for a game, I've played with the Player Preferences.

The MinenRam Pz-III is a mine clearing tank. You can find it in the Czech OOB.

Now if I could just find a place to download a 36-hour long day so I could play all this goodness!

<r>Thanks for the info <E>:)</E> This is the first time I've encountered an Exit Victory hex. I didn't realize that I had to park the units there until the start of the next turn. I'll have to give that a shot and see what happens.<br/>

The proximity of the retreat hex and the VO obviously ...

That's not really fair is it? It actually was the BEST tank in the world in its time. How else would it still be in service 20 years later? <e>[/B]</e></B><e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE>

The FT-17 has my vote, too.

<r>I clearly don't understand what I'm supposed to do in this scenario. <E>:(</E> <br/>
<br/>
I managed to retreat almost all of my core force (abandoning a KV-1 and a BA-27, and losing a Komsomolets). I also extracted a substantial fraction of the AUX forces as well.<br/>

My final result ...

It's good to see that Goblin has higher levels to aspire to.

<r>Legionnaires and Somuas continue to mop up German leg units in the trees to the north.<br/>

In the central and southern areas, shots are exchanged and some further armor losses inflicted on both sides. The French have lost another Char B and a couple of APC's; German losses include a Panzer ...

<r>The bright spot for the French is the sight of German troops in the northern woods fleeing for the border under attacks from Somuas and elements of the Legion Etrangere.<br/>

In the central and southern regions, however, German artillery continues to own me <E>:(</E>:(<br/>

Has anybody tried ski troops crossing a mine field? Pressure mines should not be set off by ski troops.

Just a thought...

Thanks, Gary!

I really enjoyed reading the AAR. The photos were a nice addition, too.

Congrats on the MV... I'm only managing draws so far.

Works like a charm! Even Netscape is happy with it.

Cheers, Gary!

If you find that the artillery bombardments consume too much time for your liking, go to the 'Preferences' settings and set 'Fast Artillery On'.

Hope this helps!

When I look at the 'Attach file:' section of the message editor, it displays a maximum size of 0 bytes.
