I played the AH PC version to death until I noticed a bug. My first experience with the concept.
I didn't have any internet at the time, let alone dial-up. So I called the local distributor and they sent my a 3.5 inch floppy disc with the latest patch.
Bastards! That was the first PC virus I ever received too :-D
That said the AH PC version was great once you tackled how to run a naval invasion. I have the AH advanced board version too.
Avalanche Press now has the rights to the game and has released a deluxe map. Check out the new graphics
