<t> My somewhat limited experience with the CAW editor is that its "friendliness" depends on how much you play the game. If you understand how CAW works for game mechanics, then I'd say the editor is medium level friendly (but pretty much 100% effective). Have much more experience with the SSG ...

1. Open game with "Korsun Pocket Gmae Menu" instead of "Korsun Pocket Quick Start"<br/>

Peter,

Do you have the KP version (TAO3) or are you trying to play the old TAO2 freeware?

JSS

heckler,

Matrix support staff will have to answer what a MSMAPI32.OCX error means.

What type of PBEM where you playing (i.e. secure game of Normandy 32 turn campaign as Allied player)?

JSS

After you start the game, at the select options menu... you should see a version number in the bottom left hand area... if you see v1.01, you don't need to patch.

It is not a replay, the Soviet Player(AI) has not moved yet because the German player has not started the AI turn.

Yes, it is, of course, necessary to let the AI play its turn first. Comments above edited ...

<t> You would find the mechanics/interface very similar but the games are a bit different in play.<br/>

Big differences are in artillery/airstrikes and overruns during close combat. Movement OP values are handled differently, plus there is an extended move mode in BII... for me this is a ...

<t> Hit any of the four buttons to see the Computer (Russian) turn 1 moves. Each button allows a different display of the AI turn as it happens. <br/>

Any of the three is a good selection (you've laid out the advantages of each very accurately). My recommendation would be Kharkov as it is the best game engine of the three (IMHO). Battles in Italy would also be an excellent choice given its selection of available scenarios.

Well, I can tell you from playing the Axis the AI stoutly defends Mogilev & Orsha & even Bykhov. I am finding myself getting behind on points by the fourth turn in spite of maximum pressure to take those vital objectives. I wonder if bypassing ...
