Last 2 Years - Marquo - 11-26-2012

What has been going on with PzC during the last 2 years? I stopped playing when the icons became too small to easily view on my laptop now matter how much I fiddled with screen resolution, etc. I tried to upgrade Stalingrad to the latest patch from HPS and I received an error, "can't create mfc80.dll"

Further I tried to unistall and reinstall, but my control panel does not even list any of the HPS games as an option even thought they are there. I upgrade to windows 7 about a yeaqr ago.

Thanks

Marquo

I'm still running XP so I am not familar to your Win7 problems however, towards the top of the HPS Microsoft Vista and Windows 7 help page it states not to install your HPS games to the Program Files folder.

If you need help, HPS support can be contacted here:

BTW, in case you are not aware of it, John Tiller now has his own company.

Now that the 2D magnifier is live, I can start playing again...too bad I did not know about this earlier. I have not played for ~ 2 years because I could not longer see the map well at level 2 :-(

What new optional rules are being used?

Does anyone play with the stock PDT or does everyone use VM's variant?

If I buy in the digital format, but change/buy a new computer, what are my options?

Is M'42 ready to buy, or are the kinks still being worked out?

Thanks

For "Delayed Disruption Reporting" the general feeling is to use this in the bigger scenarios and not the small 30 turns (or less) ones as in those it could really have a dramatic effect.

Same as before, down to the individual members taste.

I believe that you can DL the game to two different PC's.

See Strela's sticky thread at the top of the page for the latest M 42 update files.
