For Volcano Man...

[Dog Soldier]

I always save them just in case I need to re-install a game. It doesn't seem to take any longer than running them.

That is not necessary and could prove to be a problem if you do not download the latest version from VM 's site. Volcano Man regularly updates the packs to include changes HPS makes in their patches along with VM's own (and other contributors) research for OOB's and pdt tables. Playing a PBEM game with VM's _alt series but having different versions could lead to strange results.

BTW, I prefer VM's work around. Just get Firefox. :cool:
I have been using it since it was known a the Mozilla browser. It is a rock solid product.
