It's an old game, so you need to run it in compatibility mode. Suggest you try Win 7 to start with.
Hope that helps.

So would I. I bought the game a few years ago, but have only recently started playing it, after buying a book on the campaign. This mod really improves the look.

Can anyone point me to a copy please?

<t> Can I echo what Mr Digby has said about the KS group MP games. They are played in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and an excellent spirit. <br/> <br/> Seeing only what you can see from the saddle, and reliant on couriers to maintain contact with your fellow team members, it's very easy to make m...

<t> Dear Erik<br/> <br/> I wish Matrix well and do not think they are an unethical company. I would suggest you look at the VAT thing again however, at least as regards UK customers.<br/> <br/> As a control, I have just gone through to check-out ordering a PC game from Amazon's UK website. The site ...

<t> I'm reluctant to criticise Matrix about their pricing strategy. Matrix is a business and they will aim to maximise their profit. And why shouldn't they? If selling more at a lower price is going to increase revenue, I'm sure they would be keen to do that, but these games are never going to be ma...

<t> I agree with BASB, and would like to see unit IDs on the counters.<br/> <br/> Let me explain. I play wargames to try and put myself in the position of the actual commanders. The impression I get is that that the players represent (approximately) the OKH and Stavka in this game.<br/> <br/> So whe...

Many thanks for quick response.

Website says program was created for TOAW III. Will it also work with COW, or is there another version please?

Martin

Thanks again damezzi.

Have just installed your new graphics and loaded up some scenarios. A much better look!

Many thanks Telumar (and damezzi of course for producing it).

One thought occurs to me. Some scenarios seem to modify the graphics. Any deas how I can avoid losing that if I substitute the new file(s). Apologies in advance if the answer is obvious.

Martin

Better than good. It looks great. Can it be used with COW too?

<t> [font=arial]I read the unofficial wish list today.&nbsp; On of the requests is&nbsp;to show the unit name on the counter.&nbsp; Does anyone know if this is under serious consideration please?&nbsp; How easy would it be to toggle between this and movement/combat?<br/> <br/> It was...

<t> Hi guys<br/> <br/> At the moment the game allows you to toggle between movement allowances and combat strengths for the units on screen.<br/> <br/> Would it be possible to add a third option to show unit IDs instead? Abbrieviated if necessary. When you look at maps in history books, or indeed at...

<t> I would realy like to see that feature too.&nbsp; I would be happy to have it instead of the movement and combat stats, if space is a consideration.&nbsp; That way I could play like the real generals, who have formation names on their operational maps, rather than unit strengths.&nbs...

<t> Hi<br/> Might it be possible to have a third display option for the unit counters - ie their unit designation. <br/> After all, when the actual generals looked at their maps, that was what they saw - not figures for combat strength or movement points. For me, this would definitely help the suspe...

Everything fine now. Thanks to all for your help.

Martin

<t> Thanks for quick reply.<br/> <br/> Yes I have.
