[ RELEASE NOTES ]

Although I was very reluctant to release this game, I must say,
honestly it is pretty good.  The problem with windows game in the scene
is that nearly no one likes windows at all, so the windows games
themselves get a poor review.  However, I did look at this game, and
a few members and I argued it out as to whether or not to put this game
out.
After playing this one my 486/50DX2 (Windows 3.1), (my other machine
is running Windows 3.0 so I could not install it) I found it to be a
pretty decent game.  I snagged the scenario builders, which works with
both the Windows and DOS versions.. so if you have picked up this game,
and have enough credits to leech the scenario disk, then I think it is
worth taking a look at.
The Doc Check appeared right after the installation was complete,
(when you were supposed to configure the econfig.exe).  Nice quick crack
by Codebreaker, he has done over 5+ trainer for us in 1 month, and now
a good job on the crack.. way to go CBreaker!

"Challenge your leadership and tactical skills in this addictive
wargame of expansion and conquest.  Infantry, armor, fighters, bombers,
troop transports, destroyers, subs, cruisers, battle ships, and aircraft
carriers are yours to command as you encounter and overcome your
opponents.  Test your tactics and abilities with custom created worlds
and opponents."

The game allows you to have 1-6 Human players, and is somewhat like
risk.  There is a complete scenario editor which allows you to select
everything from the level difficulty to pre-built scenarios which are
included in the game.  (The scenario expansion disk is what builds on
this feature).
It also has the features of modem play.. which is the reason why
I think this game.
