Theatre of War Returns!

I never played it in the past. But since Combat Mission doesn't seem to be in the mood to release anything meaningful I think I'm gonna go for this one.

Just my opinion. If the launch of Rearmed is to be successful, it needs to be modernized and improved. Rearmed launches with a batch file which runs Java. I have to manually add java to advanced windows display options to make it use the GPU rather than integrated graphics. I'm more than willing do do stuff like this to get old game running. It's nice to have the complete Theatre of War running from one install. Expecting novice gamers and PC users to tweak the game to get it running though...YMMV.

There is a demo for next fest right now actually.

This is precisely the kind of thing I was talking about when I said the originals were fiddly to get to work on modern hardware.  Very disappointing to hear that it is still the case with Rearmed, and it dampens my enthusiasm considerably.

I must have already had that installed on my system because I didn't have to download anything to get the demo or play test running, but I do see it running that batch file.

The install program should make the download of anything additional as easy as possible, but overall, I don't see this as that big of a deal. There is a lot of gaming in this package and the foundation of the game is worth revisiting.

Still excited fro this one.
