The War Engine

I burned backups on CD. I'll have to look for that disk to, but I know it's around here somewhere. I was able to find the instruction book on the game last night and did find the floppies as I've always been careful with original disks on games and programs. The cd is in a stack of old file and programs disks. The original name was Circa 7000 Armies of Armageddon.

Looks like Gamershell is the place to go for your free download of The War Engine

Thanks for the info Annette.

I did try dosbox, but the original program (Circa 7000) still has problems with the XMS settings (I have more XMS then the game requires). Maybe Mike Cooney would know how to set it up to run under dosbox?

He may. Let me know if you'd like for me to pm his email address to you.

Annette, I would like that. This way I can relay any info I get here for dosbox users. PM me.

Done.

Can anyone who is playing this version of The War Engine tell me whether the Caverns scenario in the Bellvilleian Campaign can be won without editing it?

AFAICT, it's not possible for Alpha Squad to meet the victory conditions, because they can't pick up any of the Recoverable Objects.
