Smolensk '43 released

RE: Smolensk '43 released
To avoid the scrolling issue when placing non-model dialog boxes on a second monitor, change the the scrolling parameter under settings in the menu to screen edge from window edge.  To scroll with the mouse, move the cursor to any of the four corners of the screen.  It takes a bit of getting used to, but you can easily scroll with the default scroll buffer doing this.  Moving from the screen with the game map on it to a second screen (right or left) game the map will only scroll one hex as you quickly move through the scroll buffer zone (default setting).  Expect more if you set a larger scroll buffer.
Avoid the game map corners when moving to the second screen to access the non-model dialog box or boxes you placed there.  This works for me.

Another nice feature of the non-model dialog boxes is you when exit the game, the non-model dialog boxes will reappear on the second screen where you left them next time you open the game.  Close them before exiting the game if you want to or especially if you tend to switch from multiple screes (like a docked laptop) to just using the laptop alone.

Not sure if the game stores this in the game folder or if it is stored in the registry thus affecting all v4.05 games you will have.  In the latter case, once a set up is made for the non-model dialogs you prefer, it will just bee there for every time you open a v4.05 game.  Now that seems really efficient to me.
