I got XP to work just fine after a while. I was mostly irate because it wouldn't run a couple specific games that had stranges XMS and EMS needs. I was just surprised they didn't bother to package a DOSemu that they have made available for ages on their other OS.

Russo German war looks just like a board game. I looked at screenshots, I may buy it after I read some reviews.<br/>
I wish to God they would make an ASL game that looked like that. The garbage they are selling as Squad Leader from Hasbro ...

<t>As an avid gamer and game designer I am very interested in the actual evolution of gaming. I love just about any game I can get my hands on. I have Rook, chess, jacks, Magic: the Infinite Money Pit, Unreal Tournament, Settlers, etc.<br/>

I do love the way each of these games is designed. I ...

It can, but it doesn't want to is what I should have said.

I hate XP with a passion. It is invasive as hell and I can't run DOS games or old W95 games.

I would love for a game as complex and developed as ASL to look gorgeous and provide the visceral impact of running troops, exploding tanks, and the other things experienced on the battle field ...

<t>I just finished [FONT=arial]Koba the Dread: Laughter and the Twenty Million[/FONT] by Martin Amis. If you want a good intro to Stalin and how he happened, it is a great book. If you already know a lot about him I doubt you would find it very interesting.<br/>
Several months ago I read [FONT ...

I have SP:WAW and have been playing it for a long time now. I just downloaded SP:WW2 and took only a quick look at it. I don't know what I expected to be different, but I sure didn't see anything offhand.
Do I even need to bother having both? What are the differences?

Admiral Thrawn was a far better leader and he didn't even have a magical power to aid in his intimidation of his own subordinates.

On a more serious note, Otto Von Bismark is often considered
the greatest.

Scipio Africanus, the man who whipped Hanibal like a red-headed step-child?<br/>
