Yes, I tried all suggested settings - no success. Essentially, I have only changed two parameters of my system: 1. Exchanged the Nvidia 7900 GTX for the Nvidia 9800 GTX+ 2. Updated driver from Forceware 93.71 to 180.84 That's all! Before these two changes the game was working perfectly. Now - even with runservice.exe running - I only get the Runtime Error. I will contact the Elicense guys in hopes they will be able to sort it out. Have a merry Xmas and a good start into the Year of the Crisis, R.

Hello Folks: I bought a new graphics adapter (9800 GTX+), installed the latest diver and, voilà, the game doesn't start anymore. Applied all the changed from the FAQ - only to get the same nasty popup again. Can anyone please help me? Richtschuetze

JSH 1.0 rocks! Thanks for this mod. It works really nice on my system and gave me the long overdue push to play ToW again. This game's great - its full potential has still not been exploited. Wished it would be easier to build missions!

Yeah, right! I was one of the first to buy the game in download and I am from Germany. Should I have waited? Well, let's hope they will include the campaign in the next patch download.

I just had a great time playing the above scenario of the French campaign. The fighting was fierce and intense - what a great game! But then something happened that really is a big let down of this game: I just couldn't finish the mission!!! Somewhere on the map there must have been that lonely German panzer crew member that I overlooked. Only because of that I will need to replay the mission - how boring. Pleeeeeeeease fix that! Make it possible to end missions in a decent way. Thanks!

Hi guys! I must admit that this mission was the toughest one so far (beats even Dunkirk ). I had to reload it six times before I finally found out the right tactic: my Brummbären used AREA FIRE successfully to take out those one million anti-tank guns. Are there any other strategies to take out AT-Guns? Even my sniper got clipped by these guns every time...

Thanks! Didn't see the forest for all the trees.

I couldn't find it, either. I hope they will address this issue in the patch. Moreover, I would like to give orders already (such as HOLD FIRE).

Thanks, guys! Second time I won big but it didn't feel so good as I knew where to place my guns and tanks to take the US tanks out over long range. I whished the program would randomize the order of battle (and setup as defender) for the computer controlled side. But that will be another patch I suppose.

Last night I played the "Mongoose" scenario of the German campaign. The game was once again a blast but I had an occurrence that I remember too well from Close Combat: My infantry, especially my snipers, had taken out more than 90% of the "Amis" but the tank battle hadn't gone quite so well. In fact, the situation was a stand-off: The American tanks, obviously quite true to the rules of book, did not dare to advance one more inch towards my remaining PAK and infantry on the reverse slope of a a hill without infantry support. The Germans also couldn't muster another suicide run across the hill as the American tank crews were very watchful (lost a few good veterans!). Now, in such a case wouldn't it be possible for the program to offer a popup with the option to end the game in a draw? Alternatively, this could also serve as a trigger for more reinforcements. Otherwise the player is left with the (unattractive) choice of either ordering his side to commit suicide in a frontal attack or to simply end the game and reload it. The last option was mine, of course. But I regretted it somehow because the AI had fought so valiantly.

Amazing! Your video is not only proof of your talent. It also shows the great depth and potential of ToW. Your video could serve as the intro to new East Front campaign. Uli from Germany

Come on, dfritch! I have just finished another scenario (The Hunters) of the German campaign. I didn't encounter a bug that diminished the fun. I actually lost the scenario even though some British tanks chose to attack me by reversing towards my Tigers (lol). Give those guys a little more time with the patch.

Great! Thanks for your help. I always make sure to buy a staff infantry unit. Fire away! Richtschuetze

Hello there! I've been playing the German campaign up to the mission after Citadel. So far, I've only had snipers once in my Order of Battle or Reserve Forces for that matter. So, how do I get my Scharfschuetzen?

Hello Bluedog, had a similar experience. I played on "easy" and indeed, two FW-190 showed up. It took them about one second to down the first IL-2 and another minute or so to shoot the other to pieces. The LW wasn't as efficient as in your case but perhaps you had an ace flying there. Having said that, I must wonder why in all those glorious blitzkrieg scenarios I haven't seen a single Ju-87. Seems like the LW was already used up in the Battle of Britain. Greetings, Richtschuetze
