OK Hubert,

I am using Windows 8 and not Vista or Windows 7
I have not found a button in the Windows Explorer labelled "Compatibility Files".

I have, however, more out of desperation, with the Windows search function searched for "SC2.ini".
As result a config file was found.

After I mentioned "The Assault on Democracy Demo" runs on my PC, I have compared the config files of both programs and found that in the config file for "WWI" the values​​:
#window_width
#window_height
both were set with "0".

After I have replaced these two values ​​in the config file of "WWI" to 1280 and 1024, as they are set in the config file of "The Assault on Democracy", WWI runs again.

Problem solved by accident.

First review of Strategic Command WWI Breakthrough! and a comparison with Commander: The Great War

"Strategic Command wins on most fronts... [it] has much greater depth [and]... is much more satisfying".

Wanted to let you know I was raiding and pillaging in Amazon's Kindle military history section when I discovered there are DOZENS of WW I books there for FREE. More than enough to keep you busy for months, if not years. Lots of personal accounts, unit histories, official histories (Gallipoli, anyone?) and much more. As something of a lark I picked up Now It Can Be Told, by Philip Gibbs, and it looks to be first rate. Other goodies for the period can be had for a song, too. Thought you'd like to know.

You have a very peculiar conception of grand strategy. I'd say you are still on the tactical level, not even up to operational, grand tactical, or strategic levels yet, let alone grand strategic.

So I bought this new $10 game for my PC called Viet Nam '65. I'm not here to plug the game or spam it.  Only to say its small scale and limited complexity would be absolutely ideal if the troop combat took place in the CM2 universe. You basically chopper a handful of platoons, around a limited map, patrol and keep them supplied using said hueys, while earning political points. These points can buy a battery, mechanized infantry platoon, M48's, Arvn yada yada. You get, and can buy more engineer coys to build forward operating bases for your SF units which you move around as a unit as well. Search and destroy NVA units, there's too much to go into. But the entire game only takes about 2 or 3 hours to play on a random generated map. The the scale of the game world would be the perfect grand strategy level for a CM campaign.
