Does the 4 mega campaigns download have to include the whole game ? I only have dial up and it would take years to download the whole game again as well as the campaigns.
What does the lost leaders bug do and is it a big problem, any other bugs ?
Is it compatible with 8.4 oobs wise ?, I'm aware of the C&C bug and will wait to see if they fix it anyway.

Haven't heard of a leader bug here. That is more of a War in the pacific problem and even there it is not too big a deal, just an annoyance.

C&C, simply don't use it and you will be fine.

...Which seems unreal for some reason. Maybe it's the fact that we've been playing this same game for a decade now (basically). The only other game that has that long of a run for me is Nethack.

Maybe the 'Steel Panthers' replacement game will arrive one day.

By that time, I may have made it half way through my mega campaigns! :)

But of course! --I've been tempted to buy a plug in 10-key for my laptop to make playing it easier at school/wherever.

I just love the "everything but the kitchen sink" type of game -- which Steel Panthers certainly is as well. Come to think of it, there *is* a kitchen sink in Nethack!
