Yes it's TOW1. I did find on the site that said it will work on some 32 bit Vista systems, mine is 64 and could be why. Yours may be a 32 bit system.

"It works with vista (for me) " How do you get it to work? I tried running as Administraror and it doesn't work for me. I get the error "Wrong Game version. The application will not work with the current version of the game. Theater of War. Error #3000." I also think I saw a post on their site somewhere saying that it won't run in Vista. What did you do to make it work?

I know that it won't work with Vista or Win 7 but would it work with Win 7 Professional in the XP mode? I'm think of upgrading and was wondering if anybody is using the Mission Generator in Win7 Professional in the XP mode?

Playing around with it, I kind of figured that. Are there any good video tutorials or a way to import maps?

Are there any good tutorial videos on how to create or modify a map? I want to make a map of a heavily forested area around a river with a bridge crossing as an objective. Can that be done with this map maker?

Can't wait for more updates. Great game and it's never the same game twice.

That book has not yet been released in the Amazon US yet. I wonder why Amazon UK has it. They have pushed back the release dates several times already.

Thanks for the reply. Will be checking back often.

Hello; To get the most out of this game you really need a decent gaming system. When I first got the TOW series I ould only play at half speed and in some instances would still be jerky or crash. I now have a good system and really enjoy the games a lot more. I can play them...:-) I think the graphics in the TOW2/3 series are the best out there and would really love to see different weather effects like snow, rain, mud, etc.. I saw that a mod is in progress for a Sherman 105, is there any hope for other improvements?

Just wondering if anybody still plays this game. I love the quality of the graphics on the TOW2 series but the you really need a high powered processor to get the most out of the game. I have the demo of this game and it's really enjoyable and not as processor demanding as TOW2. The only thing I don't like about the TOW2 series (besides what I said above) is the combat area is very limited as far as weather and terrain. That's what I really loved about the Combat Mission series as you could fight in the snow, rain, fog and any combination of all 3. Is there a variety of weather and terrain in this game? Warren.

While I don't have the time I wish I had to play this game I would love to play this on full speed instead of half when I do have the time. Now with Caen it's a little jerky at half speed. So it's time to get a Gaming computer. I am looking at Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system Intel Core i5 650 3.2GHZ Processor 8GB DDR3 Memory 1GB ATI Radeon 5770 I think that should be sufficient for this and upcoming Korea. Any other recommendations and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Warren.

I usually make through with some of the starting tanks of the battle and when the tank units from 10th Tank Corps show up, they kick the Germans butt. The last time I tried it I saved the artillery and rockets until the end and that really did a number on the last advancing units. What is the trigger for the Germans to win? The only thing I can think of maybe a surviving tank crew crosses the bridge? I haven't been guarding the bridge as I need everybody but the next time I'll just move the jeeps down there to see what happens.

Hello; I know the specs haven't come out yet but for TOW2 a 3GHz or better has been recommended. Will that cover TOW 3 or would we need something higher? Thank you. Warren.

Do your troops, tanks etc..carry over from one battle to the next? I'm not sure if they do but I am thinking they might. The reason I am asking is I have not been able to win the last battle of the Russian Campaign. I don't seem to have enough troops or tanks left to stop them even though towards the end I can't see many Germans left. I think I can't see how many Germans are there as I have nobody in the area(alive) to see them. Thanks in advance. Warren.

I don't think it's a bug. I think it depends on the map you select. If you pick one of the new maps you get the Brit's. The system probably won't let the British fight in the Kurk area, as they weren't there.

Very good! I also like the music. It seemed appropriate for this and also sounds familiar.

Hello; The Kursk game home page announced the Caen expansion but doesn't say when it will be available. It gives the impression that you should be able to buy it now but there are no links and no release date given. Thank you. Warren

I also would like the option of some type of peace settlement. Trying to take Nanning and Foochow have taken me a considerable anmount of time and resources. Warren

They have TOW: Korea in development and is to be released in the 4th qrtr. Has lot's of new neat features including helicopters. If the helicopters work out then I can see them doing Vietnam. 1C has a Men of War series Vietnam in development so TOW Nam could be next after Korea.

Hello; Would it be possible for people to create missions or campaigns and upload them to the Repository? If so how could it be done and how would we be able to load them to the correct directory? It would be great if they could do that! Warren.

I got Kursk first then this one the other day just for some variety in battlefields. After the new patch for Kursk, I wouldn't really call that buggy anymore. There are some things that could be tweaked but I think overall it's really a great game. So far I found North Africa has some of the traits that may just be nuances to TOW games. Even though the desert has a lot fewer trees than Russia, tanks still love to drive over them. If there is a lot of activity on the field the game will slow down a little but I think it depends on the system you are using and amount of detail you want. Going to half speed makes it just fine. So far North Africa is really good and I think it's worth getting. Warren

It looks like it might be from Battle Front/1C. In one of the screen shots a tank is running over a tree instead of the road...:-) There are very few if any games on the Korean War and I hope they do plan on releasing it here soon. Some of the battles in the war were won on the heroics of just a few men in overwhelming odds, so the game could be quite challenging.

The details in this game cannot be over complimented. It's simply amazing! In the villages the fruits on the tress are in various stages of ripening..each tree is different. The APC's have license plates and each one is different. The actions of the troops are simply realistic. When the action gets going it's like watching a movie. This game and WWII Global Conflict greatly influenced my decision to disconnect my TV. No time to watch anything with these games (not that there's much to watch anyway).

Hello; I'm playing the 1939 World at War and after the US oil imbargo, the points avaiable to Japan drop dramatically. How can you increase production? The fighting in China is a big drain on Japan's resources..kind of makes you say "What were they thinking.." when they decided to invade them. Thank you. Warren.

While my system is a fairly good top end system it's not a game PC and only has a 300 Watt power supply. The video card I have should be used with a 350 W PS and is starting to go (or may have already went ). I haven't played any game on this system until I got this game so I'm not sure if the card wasn't really being used until I started playing Kursk. I personally think the graphics of this game are just outstanding! While some of the game play could use some fixing , like tanks driving through houses and trees while nobody is on the road and trench fighting that continues until one side or the other blasts them with a tank or grenade to finish them both off. Before I spend way too much money on a gaming system are there any other games that are graphically equivalent to this one? I have both CMBO and CMBB, while the playability is great the graphics really pale compared to Kursk. Thank you. Warren.
