Graig, George,
Things have gone from bad to worse, I'm afraid. The game just won't install no matter what I do.
I delete the entire EF2 directory from my C drive and run setup.exe from CD. The program extracts some/all (?) of the files and then gives me the Electronic Registration box. You click either option and *the whole thing just dies on you*. No error messages. It doesn't even create the EF2 folder any more on my C drive. The whole thing is just gone without a trace with the Greek readme & all.
I've tried copying files from CD to C drive as George suggested and you get as far as Sides3d.bmp. Then you get a cryptic no-can-do error message and you have to exit.
I've tried setup.exe, autorun & Start/Run with typical, minimum & custom installation options in every imaginable combination. Any which way you do it, the program (seemingly) extracts the files and then just does away with itself somehow (?!?) without even creating a folder for the game.
What on earth is going on here? I have never had any problems installing Windows based programs.
I don't think the OOB problem had anything to do with dates since some of the countries got platoons and/or companies but nothing bigger including Russia & Germany which were certainly in business by 42. None of the OOBs was complete at any point.
I ordered my copy of EF2 from the States through Chips & Bits about a year ago. Unless they accidentally sent me some oddball Greek version of the game, I have absolutely no idea where all that Greek stuff came from (?!?) I can't even read Greek but I recognize the script. It doesn't bother me or anything, I just thought it was a bad sign...
I'm going to take the CD to the office tomorrow morning and try to install the game on one of the computers there just to see what happens. Hopefully it will not crash the whole mainframe... It would be kind of hard to explain why all of their files've gone Greek all of a sudden...
Can anybody help, please?
Totally mind-boggling.
Best Regards,
Henry

The background colors don't seem to have a lot to do with the final show on the screen. I've changed things to white before. I just use MSPaint to alter things. Other than that, I can't really explain. I just started experimenting and trying new things.

I am currently plugging away at scenarios based on the Nomonhan Incident using Wyatt Kappley's Far East Mods for Rising Sun. Wyatt and Hermann Balck have started up this project and we could use others who want to commit some time to doing work on Nomonhan or some of the other scenarios or campaigns that are possible with the addition of Russians, KMT Nationalist Chinese, Chinese Communists, Thai, Vichy French(opponents of the Thai and Japanese),and Dutch.
Besides scenario and campaign designers we could use people who would be willing to play test the scenarios and give some feed back. Also if anyone has good information (maps, oob and accounts of conflicts in this period and theater get in touch so we can do the topic justice.
On the Nomonhan front we've made an oob and map based on Coox's book on Nomonhan (BIG MAP!)and now are working on scenarios. Ive just finished the first battle between Yamagata Detachment and Bykov's detachment on May 28. It works ok but it should be played thru a few times to see if it works right and adjust victory and objectives acccordingly.
If anyone has information on the OOB of a Soviet Machinegun Brigade that would be helpful for some of the later scenarios of Nomonhan I intend to do.
If you think you would like to get involved in the project contact : "Hermann Balck" <richard@windsofwar.org> who is coordinating the effort.
