Yes but the installer will do that for you.

Bismarck is correct. Defending neatly let us know if you have installation or launch problems. Some folks are unfortunately dealing with some and we are working to resolve them.

hmmm, I wanted to check out Reforged, but when I tried to do so using the links in the first page above, I got an "The page cannot be displayed" error...

[CapnDarwin]

The links are fixed now. Enjoy!

Actually, I still can't open the links in this thread, I get the same error. Note that I can open most other links in the various Matrix forums.

I found the game via the Matrix store, but don't think that the description is very clear. I found these two points confusing:
*****
--The return of Flashpoint Germany, entirely remastered with the latest On Target Simulations engine.
...
--17 scenarios with 43 variations that simulate realistic what-if situations in an hypothetical "Cold War gone hot" war.
*************
So this is all of the original scenarios, which have been "remastered"? Or is it the remastered original scenarios plus 17 new scenarios? If the latter, I suggest adding the word "new" to the last bullet point.

Links work for me and the re-mastered originals plus 17 new scenarios.

Well it's not working for me now either. None of the product links are.

[Moltke71]

Any error messages? Have you contacted the Slitherine webmasters? Possible AV conflicts?

[CapnDarwin]

Working on my main machine now. Weird.

I liked the original FPG for its US vs Soviet plot in Europe, but as I got familiar with the actual geography of central Europe, I found the fictional maps in FPG quite off-putting. FPC Red Storm makes up for that lack of authenticity, question is, does FPG Reforged make up for it as well or does it still use fictional maps?

[CapnDarwin]

We reworked the original maps into Red Storm versions so the same fictional terrain is there. I do believe we added an extra map, but I am not sure. Still fun to play the FPG scenarios with the new game engine. [8D]

[JPV511]

The sale pushed me over the fence. I'm liking "The Bear Attacks" scenario and the Eiterfeld map with the "3 Sisters" geography.

[mrhuggles]

Do two players have to own Germany Reforged in order to play scenarios, or is one player owning it sufficient?

[CapnDarwin]

Pretty sure both need it to have all the info to pull in. I think GR is on sale right now so that might help.
