Coming out of retirement
Hello, all. I guess my last reported game was in 2008! As I have way too much time on my hands at the moment, I was clearing off my desk in the dining room and came across my old gaming CDs. I've slept since 2008 so I have some questions. Should I try these CDs (Europe in Flames-2 CDs, Rising sun, West and East Front gold) or just digital download new? Also found all my Combat Mission CDs too!

RE: Coming out of retirement
Welcome back!
The old Talonsoft CDs probably won't work anymore with the new Windows operating system, plus I doubt anyone here still has them I recommend you buy the latest from Matrix Games: https://www.matrixgames.com/game/john-ti...ign-series. Make sure you patch to the latest.
A LOT has changed. All the old scenarios are included and we still have tons of custom scenarios here at the Blitz. Expect a little bit of learning curve, but it's pretty much the same game you originally fell in love with with a few bells, whistles, and fixes.

I'll be damned! Some of the old farts ARE still around! I found my old Europe in Flames manual and relearning the game.

RE: Coming out of retirement
Welcome back from another old fart!! Good to see you Coyote!!
You'll like the new stuff over the old disks. I have the old WF Battle Pack loaded on my Windows98 machine and oddly enough this morning I was fiddling around with it. I have scenarios in there from 2006. Man has that game changed for the better with the latest version from Matrix.
Good luck getting up to speed!!
