Help with Hasbro 1998 cd rom version

@TheGheko91 Are you wanting to make it harder to beat the AI when playing solo?
If so you can use the unit edit.Make the nation you are playing weaker by removing some starting units and/or add a few staring units to your AI controlled opposition.I find the AI will never capture 2 enemy capitals,so set it for economic victory,which you can adjust the numbers when setting up your game.

so i too was disappointed that the link for the game no longer works, but i still have the old cd rom as well as the 1.3.3 patch from maybe 15 years ago. i like the 1998 version of the game, but perhaps i will try the triple a version at some point. i will gladly help anyone interested in getting the old version of the game. for me i wanted to play it without the cd, so i used daemon tools lite (free) to mount and image of the disc in a virtual drive (i use windows 10). if you explore the auto load file and select compatibility preferences/ windows 95- (yeah i know) it launches and plays the game perfectly and all the cinematics are intact. i did have to apply the patch as well. i hope this helps someone else.

i also found the 6.0 files for windows 7 on my old pc, so if you are looking for those (which were in the old link that no longer works) apparently i picked that up a while back too. just pm me and i’ll drop box whatever you are looking for.
thanks

You can ask here if you need help getting it running.
( I created the DirectDraw fix )

OK. Let me spell this out simply. I have asked twice before to no avail.

Can someone walk me through the steps to getting ABattlemap on my computer, and getting it ready to play a Global 1940 game by forum?

And my guess is this might be somewhere already that I haven’t found. If that is true, please link me to the page with ABattlemap available for download.

yeah, good question ! I know some forums who could have great use of such feature.

Thanks, maxo
No, unzipping is no problem.  One of them can’t even get the download going.

The other one, we finally got it working, but I’m not sure what combination of maneuvers finally got the job done.

No, they’re not close by, otherwise I would do it for them myself.

@plumsmugler:

Ok, that helped with figuring out how to use the game but I’m still having the problem of infoview and toolbar not appearing unless I reinstall.  I followed the instructions of deleting the .ini file and keeping the windows to the middle of the program but neither work.  While this is a pain for my PC, for some reason I don’t have this problem when I run the program on my laptop.

I prefer a 2 monitor setup anyway so you dont have to keep collapsing the map  so you may want to post from the desktop and leave the map on the laptop. The info and toolbars usually vanish when they are placed at map edges so leave them in the south atlantic and indian oceans. Just remember to look under them occasionally to make sure a new fleet or IC hasnt spawned
