Gentlemen, ( Again I use the term lightly for some ![]() I am thinking of asking Santa for HistWar Les Grognards but I have 2 questions. First, I looked all over and could not find the System Requirements for the game. I need to know if my old war horse will play the game. Second ,I heard there were teething problems with the game. Please advise. Thanks P.S. I can't get the demo to work either. Get error message about not finding exe. dll. |

I was able to install the game on a Windows 2000 system but it seemed buggy, I'm not sure if that was the reason or it was the game's teething problems. I haven't upgraded and tried again, I'm having too much fun(?) with the HPS series. |
