<t> Iain,<br/>
Thank you for the update. Possibly some of the confusion for me, and others, is that we purchased our games from Matrix and not Slitherine. I was expecting to be kept up to date by Matrix on status, fixes, patches etc. I don't think it's your job to monitor their forum and answer ...

<t> I know what you mean. Unfortunatley, I'm going to sound like the testy SOB here, but just blaming MS and then leaving everyone hanging simply is not fair or professional. At the very least we should be getting some kind of progress update/s. With this silence, I'm not hopeful that any ...

Yep. sure am.

<t> I know what you mean. I'm actually back to ver. 1.0 with limited success. It's very fruatrating. I'm sure good old MS has caused the problem, but it seems to me we deserve some timley, comprehensive and accurate support support from the game designers/retailers. just blaming MS doesn't really ...

Downloaded and ran the Java fix. Now, rather than just a black screen, I get a black screen with a few moments of music. I'm runiing XP with Service pack 3 installed. This is really very frustarting fellows. A true fix would be appreciated

I'm sure glad Old Eagle101 added "Pork Chop Hill"!! How could I have forgotten??

In this order:

Pattton
Bridge Too Far
Stalag 17(?)
Kelly's Heroes (for a little comic relief)

If I see any of these on my final "channel scan" before going to bed, I'm up until the wee hours!

Congratulations! Ahhhh, those pesky footnotes and source cites!

Board games? Gee, got a couple of crates of them taking up space in the bowels of a closet!
LOL

<t>While there is no one determing factor, I think that a large one is production. Hitler never put the German economy on a full war time footing. If you look at production it's staggering. <br/>
While the US, UK, and USSR ramped up their their economies to full war footing, Germany, after the fall ...

I just had the Chinese 2nd Army pop up on Nassau Island in the South Pacific. This is early 1945.
Bruce

Chinese 73rd Army in N. Pacific Alaskan island of Attu? That is odd. Kind of gives a whole new meaning to the Long March!

The Philipine Gurellia Army in my game is on the east coast as well battling (now) 2 JA divisions. I think it will reappear in the Philipines at some point during your invasion of those islands.<br/>
<br/>
I've never had US forces in the CBI just up and disappear. Did you lose ...

Well Peter,
It certainly is making life interesting. I've had a number of Japanese units suddenly pop up at bases that are way in the rear of the action.
Just for the sake of fun, I'm not going to edit but let it play out and see what other tricks Tojo has up his sleeve!
Bruce

<r>Peter,<br/>
The base attaked was the EASTERN United States. Now I know Yamamoto was good, but how did he get an invasion force accross the Pacific, through the Panama Canal, the Gulf of Mexico,<br/>
and int the Atlantic!!??? LOL<br/>

While playing as the Allies in a new ver3.2 game, I have been presented with a bit of a surprise.
I wonder how the JA 62nd Div managed to invade the US East Coast???
A massive armada of I Boats perhaps?

<t>I run AdAware as well. The programs really do differnt things. The one I posted allows you to manipulate your start menu without having to use msconfig. The other simply give you a pop up notice when a new program is trying to configure itself to load at start up.<br/>
I use all 3 very happily ...

<r>Check out this guys tools. I use the startup control monitor (just the ticket for what you are talking about) and the startup monitor (it notifies you of programs trying to insert themselves in the startup menu).<br/>
