New to the COI edition but not new to CC....quick question....I understand that I can play against another human - but do I have to play multiplay or can you do PBEM?

If one can PBEM - how would you go about doing this or setting this up?

Thanks much and by the way - this game really rocks!!

You both have to play at the same time.

It's real time tactical, so you have to be there.

I have most if not all the other close combat games and they all work great.  I was looking at the system requirements for Cross of Iron.  Video Ram is listed as a seperate attribute.  How can I tell if I have enough for the game to work?  Here's a BELARK printout of my system.  I nned to know before I buy...

With those specifications, you should have no trouble running the game.
Your video ram should be about 32mb with a Rage Fury Pro.
To check it, select "run" in start menu then type dxdiag, then look under the display tab. It should be written there.
 

Your system has a higher spec than CoI needs, so no problem on that score.
