Hi, I am interested in this game even though it is old and I would like to know if it is really 100 % compatible with Windows 7 and since I assume it is the follow-up question is it actually playable on a "big" 1920*1080 screen (or let's rather call it standard for today, but I guess 6 years ago it would be incredibly high-resolution)? Cause I heard that it is very hard to see the units with such a high resolution. Anyone got experience to share or maybe even a few screenshots playing on modern PC's?

Thanks!

Edit: Bought it anyway. It IS a bit small on 1920*1080 so I changed resolution to 1600*900 which is I think OK. Very much playable. What I have played so far of the game is great, there's a lot of attention to detail and still a huge amount of battles! Luckily games like this age really well unless they have technical problems.
