And could some kind soul explain what exactly Marquo and I need to do.

We are both using the TOAWIII installed executable with the latest official patch (3.4.0.202).

Is it simply a matter of getting this new 'unofficial' executable (3xB) and running that to open the game?

Sorry, I have no explanation for a Troja [&:] Norton doesn't show anything on my computer and I never had any issue with file-upload. You're sure?

All I know is that my Norton warned me of a Trojan in the file so I did not download...got it elsewhere but thanks for helping.

3XBb.exe is a stand-alone and does not modify any registry entries. All versions and test-scenarios, plus the checksum, etc. can be found here:

I am curious why when I look at some German units equipment I see 'common 1960's'. What does this indicate?

I was probably the original country description in the .eqp slot that I used for the German unit. It has no effect for game purposes. For game purposes the listed strengths are used. I will correct that the next version.
cheers

Greetings all,

The Ardennes 1944 that was Oberst Klink's dropbox is the previous beta version.

Here is the link of the current version (v5.0)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xyzhps1jd0c2g ... 0.zip?dl=0

Clearly this is a work in progress as the version number indicates. Feed back, AAR and suggestions are always welcomed.
