I am looking for a WWII wargame to use on our school LAN with teams of players in different rooms. We pioneered this approach fighting single battles from 'Rome: Total War' , in the fashion of the TV series 'Time Commanders'. My preference is for RTS/Operational Level games in preference to First-Person shooters, although we did try a multi-player Call of Duty game a few years ago. I have used Combat Mission with a team fighting the AI quite successfully, but haven't tried playing it with rival teams of human players. Probably a bit slow-moving. Incidentally I can't get Combat Mission: Afrika Korps to instal on my new Vista-equipped PC but have had no trouble with the earlier 'Beyond Overlord' version. Why is this?
Mark, the CM forums state that there are a number of issues with CMBB and CMAK on Vista. No patch at present, and none announced, sadly.
