I got Close Combat III to work for my Dad on his WIN10 machine. It worked for about a week.

I assume a WIN10 update killed it. I have never understood- nor will I ever- why they even bother to have a compatibility mode. In all my years of using windows starting with 3.1, I have never once had that "option" generate positive results. It simply has never allowed software to work.

I still spend time with combat flight sims and I bought a really slick machine two years ago, with WIN7. I can make sims from 1998 run on it. The PC I'm using to write this message is my 'cheap' machine for internet use, a 300 buck WIN10 machine.

I wonder if I can get Panzer Commander to run on my WIN7 machine.
