[map dimensions]

would anyone know the dimensions of a medium size map for a 1125 point quick battle?

Bought the game and played a few games, and it's a beauitful piece of work -- the graphics (except for the infantry), the historical accuracy, the new features, all wonderful. HOWEVER, unless the following have been fixed by the patch,i'm not going to play it much for the following reasons:

1. it runs too slowly, probably because of the new, high res grpahics. a 1125 pt battle zips along nicely in the old game, but a similar -sized battle requires a noticably longer "crunch time" for the ai;

2. for some reason, quick battles (and that's about all i have time for)place objective at the far end of the map, and the opfor units primarily deploy right in front of the objectives. thus, the battle doesn't reaally begin until you've reached the end of the map, and that doesn't leave much room for manuever and tactics.

3. although i'm an american, i'm a hopeless anglofile, and the irish guard didn't fight on the east front... or perhaps with some clever mod work... :>

at any rate, does anyone else share these concerns?

[a very silly but important question about processors]

This will reveal how ignorant I am about things technological. I have a Pentium 4, 1.8 ghz with 256 Ram and a video card with 132vram. Will CMBB run on my computer? (I am a bit confused by "Pentium 500 mhz"; is that the same thing as a Pentium V?)

[install problem]

Guys,

Because of a brief spell of insanity (I actually took CM off my system), I can't get the game to reinstall. Each time I see the following message after it installs the first 2 or 3 bmps files:

bmp 1004

device not found

a device attached to your system is not functioning

install discontinued

Is this because my disk is damaged? Will I have to buy a new disk?
