Command Modern Operations Series compatibility running on a M2 Mac Mini

Post by riflebrigade »

Is anyone running Command Modern Operations Series on a M2 Mac Mini using Parallels or another program which will allow a Windows 10 or 11 program to run on a Mac operating system?

If so could you advise Mac OS version, CPU, GPU, memory, storage configuration to be able to easily run the program?

I am considering purchasing a Mac Mini with a M2 or M2 Pro processor with 16 gig of memory and 1 terabyte of storage capacity.

I currently have Command: Modern Operations Series, Gary Grigsby’s War in the East 2, Gary Grigsby's Eagle Day to Bombing the Reich, Gary Grigsby’s War in the West, The Operational Art of War IV, War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition, which I have been running on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro using Bootcamp.

I don't use a Mac Mini but I do run Parallels Desktop with W11 on my MacBook Pro and have for years. CMO runs just fine on it as do most other games.

What specs do you run on your MacBook Pro? I am shopping for a new laptop and I’ve been considering a MacBook Pro

Ha! Don't look at mine. It's a 2018 8GB 13" MacBook Pro. If my old one can handle it, then anything you buy new is going to scream.

Thinking seriously about a new 14" M2. If my old one can handle it, then anything you buy new is going to scream. The keyboard on mine is getting flaky. Lots of double and triple characters requiring a lot of backspacing and retyping. Thorough cleaning made no difference and neither does turning off the key repeat feature. Wouldn't make sense to have the keyboard replaced. Better to just take the $400 trade-in on a new one.
