Tried the game using a VM?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

I'm not asking for, or expecting, official support for this, but did want to know if anyone has tried running the beta on a mac using either Parallels or VMWare?

Hi all,
ORIGINAL: Crimguy

I'm not asking for, or expecting, official support for this, but did want to know if anyone has tried running the beta on a mac using either Parallels or VMWare?

I think I tried it early on using VrtualBox and VMWare (but on a PC)... must check...

I playtested all my artwork during the development on a Mac using Parallels. Never had any issues running it.

My experience so far trying to get WiTE running on Ubuntu 10.04 with latest version of Wine is encouraging. The game installed without problems, as expected, and I could make it to the main menu screen, although no intro movies were shown.

However I couldn't get past the main menu: as one of the game music tracks started to play it froze.

I say "encouraging" since I think that it might be playable if I find a way to disable sounds.
