Problems playing on Windows XP (plz help)

Thank you very much
S.A.

I love A&A Pacific. I bought it practially the day it hit the shelfs nearly a decade ago. I’ve played it so much that its more than worn out on me and i want to get a new copy.  I realize that the game is out of print now, but unopened copys are still around at some stores. Does anyone know the difference between the 1st print edition and later print editions. For example the 1st print had a box that said it contained 445 pieces, but came with 335. The new box has a different logo in the corner and says it contains 330 pieces. This means some changes have been made between prints. perhapse they fixed the rulebook and setup card typo?

If any of you guys know of any differences i would greatly appreciate it. As i need to decide fairly soon weather or not to buy a new unopended copy of a later print or a used 1st edition print.

thanks.

P.S. I realize that the new AAP40 will be out soon, but as a diehard A&A fan i have a complusive need to keep a crisp copy of each A&A title in good condition. Some of you will understand, others wont.

Ive managed to open the files so I think ive figured this out. I just need to download BigPieces.bmp so the units wont be microscopic.

if i attack whit a 5 infantry units and 3 artillery units. Then, all infantry units are supported by artillery?
The open fire is activate when i pressure?

thast all

1 white chip = 1 additional unit of whatever type is placed on top of it. An example would be a fighter unit on 3 white chips is 4 fighters(often written 4 ftr or 4 ftrs).

1 red chip = 5 additional units of whatever type is placed on top of it. An example would be an infantry unit on 2 red chips is 11 infantry(often written 11 inf). Heh-heh!

Unless you buy extra pieces, on eBay fer example, you will have to limit your countries that you have forces in.

You might also check out your local rag tag hobby/toy store, Goodwill or other second hand shops.

Fairly sure it works on 98 huh? Not very well likely!! Dug out my old CD’s and wanted to play…the UNPATCHED A&A works fine…(well, still buggy) but when I apply the patch or try to play IB, I get to the “NETSTAT” screen and my comp locks down requiring a hard boot!! Ah the joys!! Seriously though, if anyone knows how to get it to work on 98 let me know!! Thanks!

i didn’t patch it . . . :)

I’d say your copy of the program is completely jacked. First of all, an ally cannot take control of a friendly nations capital. If said nations capital is occupied by enemy forces then the ally can take control of territories that were formerly that nation’s, but once the capital is liberated then that country is back in the game. Under no circumstances can a friendly nation take control of an ally’s capital. In the situation you are refering to the British would lose no money becuase Japan retook Moscow.

I don’t think so…

Why do you need them? The game is already easy enough as it is. Cheat codes in A&A are for 1st graders. I’m serious, you should have no problem beating it.
