Major Purcell,

Even though you are in Rebellion against the established order of things, I will allow you a piece of that organization to make your life easier!

Relating to this, does anyone install all their games on a USB stick and do it that way? I've always used the "one CD" method to play all the games, but just thought of this as another possibility...

General Meyer <Salute!>

Sir,

Thank you very much for the excellent tip. Following the General's instructions, I was able to create a single CD from which to launch all of my Civil War and Napoleonic titles. This is most appreciated. No more tell tale rattles to disturb the sleeping camp as the tray slips open in the wee hours.[;)][;)]

Thank you MG Meyer, this worked great and simple to do. For some reason Antetiem doesn't work but everything else does. No one seems to play Antetiem much anyway, so not much of a concern. Thanks again, you get my vote for "tip of the year" in the non-combat catagory.

David,

You might check to be sure all of the .exe files copied. Antietam was one of the titles I tested. Worked fine. (I did note that there was a slight variation in the "cpn.exe" file name for each game, so you might grab all the exe files to be sure) BTW Antietam is an excellent HPS offering and worthy of lots of play time IMHO.

Best of Luck

Okay, I'll bite. Why? New engine? All the games being unlocked? Computer games being banned?

Found my problem, had mis-spelled campaign on the Antietam file-campaing.

SEE! HERE WE GO AGAIN!

If we babble on long enough we're bound to sooner or later stumble over something that brings Rich out of his designer's cave to leave us with an intriguing tidbit!
