I'm updated to version 1.02 ; My laptop isn't top of the line, it's a 1.8 ghz celeron with 2 gig ram ; I have similar trouble that others have with tweaking the icon (to improve memory), namely if I set up to do 1024/2048 it won't start, the only tweak I can do is the 768/1024. It runs well then , using 700-760 mb. The only trouble I have is it freezing during the game turn calculations at exactly 72% on the first turn of the Med camp (GB or Italy, no sound, no tactical input , no messages.etc)...and it's in the Med camp only, I can play the other 3 fine.
Here's another question. In the Atlantic camp as German I want to set up a mission such as the Bismarck and escort making a run north of Iceland...but no matter what posture I give the force they end up going to Scapa flow and getting their butt's kicked ??!!?
any way I can get them to follow the path I set up for them?
Thanks for the great game, I love Thunder at sEa so I knew this one would be excellent!

Re the game freezing on the Med campaign ,can you run this again and when it happens, find the DOSBox window titled SAS-WW2, cut and paste all of the text in it and send it to me or attach it here?
Re the Bismarck going to Scapa Flow I imagine that it is making an AI-controlled diversion bcause of enemy sightings en route. If so, you will need to tick the 'Stop for Fleet Tac Responses' option. You can control just the fleet you are interested in, if you want, by then clicking the Edit button, de-selecting all fleets and then adding back in the fleet with the Bismarck. Then run the turn. You will probably be prompted at some point to make a tac response. You can override any intercept or shadow orders by your 2IC by telling the fleet to ignore. It will then keep sailing on its planned path.
